stovanovich Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 G'day everyone, '92 Terrano Owner from New Zealand. Truck is nicknamed "Te Rino"Owned her for about 8 months bought her standard and a little beat up on the outside but boasting the cleanest, maintained engine area I've ever seen in an older vehicle. 8 months down the line and this is what she looks like now: List of Mods thus far include:31" Kumho M/Ts Custom built Snorkel Top mount intercooler with custom water spray cooling Boost tap & fuel pump tweaking Idler Arm Bracing (After bending 2 already I figured it was a worthwhile investment ) Here is a pic of the intercooler install: And having some fun in the mud: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Love what you did to him, looks really good. Keep up updated on the mods, with pics if possible. What intercooler is that? or from what car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stovanovich Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Cheers for the kind words everyone. I will be sure to update ya'll on her mods as we go along Love what you did to him, looks really good. Keep up updated on the mods, with pics if possible. What intercooler is that? or from what car? The Intercooler is from an Isuzu Bighorn as is the scoop. Pretty easy to fit really, just hat to replace the flange on intake manifold with straight flange & the other side turned 90degress. 2 bits of silicon pipe and you're all done. Let me know if you wanna see some pics. I think i've got some here somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Isuzu Bighor, we know it by Isuzu Trooper. If you got pics, bring them on, please. I'm a pic addicted, don't tell anyone Someday I'll have a Nissan intercooler from the 2.7 TDI, that's my plan because they are easier to find here in Portugal.

kdj Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What I like is the bumper. Most people replace theirs with an aftermarket one that doesn't fit the stock sheet metal. The way yours goes over the stock bumper is a great looking alternative. I'd take that over the stench of a diesel any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ahhh yes. That's one of the latest additions. Steel version of a 93 Navara bullbar. Does a better job than the old chrome nudge bar. Here in NZ 90% of my offroad is in dense bush, so bending used to be an issue Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I like the water spray over the intercooler. Is that run from the wipers by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teixeira Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks for the pics. Never heard of the water spray on the intercooler, does it really make a difference? It sprays over the intercooler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks for the pics. Never heard of the water spray on the intercooler, does it really make a difference? It sprays over the intercooler? It's basically handy for when you're in the middle of the bush when there's no air flowing over it and you're needing that cool air running to your turbo for that hill climb or bog hole. Definitely helps the boost wind up quicker, gets me up to 15 PSI pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xterra Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 +1 on KDJ's comment on the bumper. I was planning to have a local shop fabricate a 3" tube bumper like the old Smittybilt AHardb0dy had on his first pickup, but I may have to rethink that plan now.

stovanovich Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 wow, had no idea... really good to know. Plus it can give people surprises when the bonnets up and they're looking at it going what's that? (Cue spray) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I'd love see that. Edited May 16, 2014 by teixeira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The only bad thing with having the intercooler is look at where the oil fill plug is. You have to take the intercooler off to put oil in. I know this because my Terrano is exactly the same TD27 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
