diesel 300d intercooler
 

Hey Folks,
I'm going to build an intercooler for the 617. Anyone want to help. If anyone helps me considerably than I'll give you one of the finished ones for free.
Thanks

p.s. bgkast? you in?

You talking about making an intake housing with an AWIC inside?

I'm in, on the theory and planning anyway. I want to intercool my W123 300D/617 and eventually the 60x engine I plan to drop in.

Kind of pointless until one makes a trip to Myna Diesel though. Or maybe I'm wrong?

That would be the way to go.

I'll help, just let me know what you need. :)

Honestly, I don't know anything about intercoolers so I guess the first thing would be to rip one off a volvo and re-engineer it for the 617

I'm about 2 hours from you, if I can help, let me know.

im about 30 minutes from you. im in pa myself

I guess I am 4-5 hours away, but interested none the less. Is this plan for an air to water IC built into an intake manifold? No plans for an A2A cooler?

I was thinking about A2A with methanol/water injection.

I have access to a Dyno and several race tracks if that is of any help.

Simple, yet effective. This design would allow the user to keep their stock air conditioning condenser and fan.

Can we adapt something like this to a W123?

Page doesn't work.

Yeah, it doesn't work. If you backtrack from that image however you'll find more pics.

I just listed the website to give credit and not piss anyone off.

That thing can't flow well or be too efficient with those few, long tubes. Anyway I don't think there is room in a W123 there.

yeah, and I'm worried that that site might be about to go away.

I tried to back out of the 'images' directory into any kind of index or home page, and got a hoster-page that said someone had just registered the domain-name with them.

Not sure, but that might mean that the guy who originally registered it and put all that great info up there is about to lose the domain....and all that great info is about to disappear.

If that site IS changing hands, someone with broadband might want to do a spider-crawl and grab everything on there....

I only have slow rural-modem here....so I can't do it in any practical sense....

ebay ftw

That setup currently has about the same length of tubing as a stock OM606, yet has a physically larger IC. It works fine for stock or a slightly larger turbo, but not the big Holsets and a maxed out pump.
