    Having a look on the LRDirect website they list the TerraFirma TF184 (which is also made by Serck) as having a volumetric shipping weight of 31Kg. So it the size of the packaging rather than the 12kg that is the killer.

    For those interested I received a quote from Rimmer Bros for a Britpart Stage1 performance intercooler for 315 + 68 pounds for postage.

    Total cost Au = $560

    Did you order the Brit Part cooler, mate?

    Some Brit Part Parts are rubbish (mostly there rubber parts) but other are equally as good as other brands and still far cheaper.

    I'm just wondering what their intercoolers are like. Thinking of upgrading.

    Happy Days

    i have a britpart on mine...been there for 4 years now without probs...my oppinion too is that solid metal bits are good enough from them, theyr problem is when the parts include moving/rotating, rubber, or electrical components
    Discovery Td5 (2000), manual, tuned

    No ... didn't order it as with my TRS Stage 1 remap and a straight through exhaust along with an EGT gauge, I didn't feel the Disco needed the extra cooling or power.

    Still, for those looking at pricey 2nd hand D2a intercoolers ... seem like reasonable value.

    Can't comment on the BritPart IC, but upgrading is certainly something to consider. If you are prepared to relocate the transmission oil cooler then you can get an even larger (taller) IC in. Upgrading my EU3 IC to an Allisport IC for a manual completely changed the way the engine responds even under partial throttle and low rpm conditions. I have no data to support this statement but it sure feels better. Combine with either a remap or an electronic tuning box the changes are even more outstanding.

    Also keep in mind the performance of different ICs due to fin design, core efficiency etc will have a bearing on how the benefit is realised.

    Not all cores of the same dimension will perform the same.

    When I was building ICs for TD5s, I used a far more efficient core than was offered by the opposition at the time.

    Tombie I am looking at an intercooler at the moment, what in your opinion is a good intercooler. I am going to be towing heavy. I have a BD chip, what boost do you recommend?
    Cheers
