  • front mounted intercooler on 1kz-te

    I am in the final throes of buying and fitting a front mounted intercooler kit for my 120 series 1kz-te. HPD do a kit which from all of my research is very well engineered and tested. I am wondering if others have been down this path and what are their thoughts.

    Regards

    I've only seen Matt with a front mount intercooler, although his is a 1KD motor.

      Madkore: thanks for that , good info about the d4d and a bit about the 1kz, they could probably work similarily, kit prices are similar so I will probably give it a go.

        allenz-1203..I jumped on the HPD website and it specifically stated 1KZ-TE engine..not sure where matt bought his form? Just out of sheer curiosity I'd be fascinated to see how this mod goes, so if you could keep us all in the loop, I'm sure us 1KZ-TE owners would appreciate that. I'll be getting a 2.75" aftermarket exhaust fitted one day soon, love to hear how this would go too.......the larger new hilux bonnet scoop appears a way forward for some people...get them all done and you'd have a 'rocket ship'...

            Although I don't have a prado, I do have a 1kzte in my hilux. I initially bought a top mount kit for my car, but due to a number of reasons, decided to upgrade to a larger front mount. And what an upgrade it turned out to be. My car drives so much better, is more responsive and pulls well.

            I didn't notice any turbo lag, although I have a t piece and slight boost. The lux also runs a 3 inch exhaust turbo back. IMO, the fmic is the way too go.

              HPD Front Mount Intercooler?

              Hi Guys, I went for a bit of a hunt and couldn't find anything so I apologise if this thread has been before. (Post a link if you can find it? Legend)

              Have an '04 1KZ 120 GXL, and am wondering what the pro/cons list is for fitting of a HPD front mount Intercooler? (Or another brand) I'm looking for a little more fuel economy and a little easier work load on the engine, not really bothered about the performance as with a chip and exhaust and air filter already done I can get into enough trouble already.

              Just wondering if anyone has been there/done that and was it worth it? Hoping to use the vehicle for towing one day, right after I've finished tinkering with the car itself............
              Taipan 3' Exhaust & Chip, Ironman Snorkel, Bilstein 2 inch lift with bags, BF Goodrich A/T's, Brash Imports Nav and Camera.

                Hi Scottage,
                I have done some testing and a front mount is the way to go. I will be fabricating my own and from mok ups will be squeezing an evo cooler in. I have looked at the HPD kits and look very good but do not suit a grande with all the extra aircon piping. As this is a to get around to job i fit a water spayer and fan to the top mount. When spraying i get the same benefit as a mate who fitted a front mount to his hilux. We campared inlet temps under same conditions. Obvious downside is benefit isnt continual and filling water tank. Be keen to see how you go.

                Cheers
                Craig
