I am looking at inter cooling my 2.8 rodeo. I have heard the 3.1 jackaroo intercoolers fit easily if you rotate the turbo. Are the 3.0 ltr rodeo intercoolers the same? Cheers
Rodeos are front mount. You could make your own plumbing and mounts. If you can make your own plumbing and mounts you could use any intercooler from a similar size engine
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
3.0l tf rodeo is top mount but you need to change the inlet manifold and rotate the turbo and change the intake pipe to the turbo, 3.1 or 2.8 intercooled bighorn/trooper intercooler is the easiest, still need to rotate turbo and change intake to turbo though
digging up old post.. newb question, I understand to align intercooler inlet with turbo compressor outlet requires connecting a small 45 degree pipe after unbolting and turning compressor housing anti clockwise to the next bolt?
How do I get those bottom bolts off, the ones under the compressor side of the turbo.. they seem impossible to reach with a spanner with out taking the whole turbo off?
