There are a few good quality oil coolers around, but personally I would check the dimensions of a 1980's RX7 engine oil cooler as I think they are a good size to fit across the front, quite a low profile too so won't interfere with anything, and easy to obtain.

No worries JC, I have to stop in to the wreckers sometime so I'll check it out

Otherwise something like this doesn't look to bad

Thanks mate

Any chance you could post up the dimensions?

Bolted this in the other day

I don't plan on keeping it there, and the one I had before was going to be too difficult to mount

I'm going to have a custom front mount made up at some stage. Works out cheaper than an Allisport one

Just looking at this stuff, but am a little lost....

I can't find a website for 'Allisport' but I can for 'Allard'.

Where's the former located?

Thanks, will have a look at their kit too.

Gday mate

I sourced my kit from here

Land Rover conversions - M&D Engineering

Although everyone seems to refer to it as an 'Allisport" turbo because I guess they were the first ones to bring this sort of thing out maybe?

M&D were the cheapest at the time I bought my kit

Is there any sepcific difference between Allard and Allisport for these kits?

As for MD, looks like they sell the 2.8TGV engine manifold and turbo?

Jock has fitted a 2.8TGV manifold and turbo.

Murray, rijidij on AULRO has the Allisport kit on his 130. The 130 was originally owned by xrayxray, who fitted the Allisport kit and has a thread with a fair bit of info and pics.

The VNT turbo with the Allisport kit is larger than the one fitted to the 2.8TGV. Garrett GT2559V vs GT2256V - note the first & second numbers are the turbine size (i.e. 25 is next size larger turbine from 22), third & fourth numbers are diameter of compressor wheel in mm (i.e. 59mm vs 56mm).

From the info/pics I have seen the Allisport and Allard kits look to use the same turbo, manifold.

As Jock knows I installed a twin VNT kit last Sat.
Due to a - erm - minor issue with a battery cable Vs. exaust

the truck is off duty and will be back on road hopefully this weekend

Will explain later

In the meanwhile, here's a pic of my new hiflow intercooler, standard size
