Landy's 110

I have completed this few weeks ago, and now it’s the time to share the photos.

I have mounted a new upgraded intercooler to my 110, so I will be able to get some more power from the good (but not too strong) TDI-300 engine. The installation wasn’t simple, since I had an A/C fitted and the intercooler had to be mounted in front of the A/C radiator and fan.

As you see in the picture, this unit is about 3-4 times larger than the original intercooler fitted by Land-Rover.

First, I decided where the intercooler will be fitted. I got a “bridge” over the winch that will hold it – just a bit over the winch. Then, after few screws the front grill went out, and also the aluminium frame that is holding the plastic grill.

After that, I made two holes for the pins in the bottom of the intercooler.

I used the plastic gourmets of the old intercooler to fill the space between the intercooler pins and the bridge.

Now I’ve placed the intercooler in the desired position, and made marks of where the air pipes will go.  Since the installation was made with an A/C radiator in the front, I had to put the intercooler as far as I can to the driver side of the car, so it won’t hurt the A/C radiator.

I took out the intercooler and made the desired cuts in  the radiators metal frame. As you can see in the photo, I had to make space for the both of air pipes .

In theis photo you can see all the cuts I made for the intercooler. Notice the A/C radiator on the left side.

Next step was to close all the nuts and bolts, and put the intercooler into it’s new home.

And now, the intercooler was fitted to it’s place, I had to make some changes to the turbo air pipes, but finally it all went to it’s place.

Ready to cool
