KZTE Intercooler

[Gertc]

a Friend of mine asked a local diesel Specialist to fit a inter cooler and chip to his 2005 KZTE.

The guy came back and said that sac don't want to fit a inter cooler in front of the radiator because the KZTE tends to overheat.

Anyone that can help with this?

Hi Gert

Ek het so pas 'n intercooler by Cirrus in Pretoria gekoop en op my Kz gemonteer hy sit voor die verkoeler, ek hou nie van die een wat SAC onder die bakkie monteer nie. Daar gaan te maklik vuilgoed in. Hy is nog nie gechip nie maar ek sien geen verskil op die temperatuur nie, ek bly in Upington so ek sal hom dophou as dit eers lekker somer is by ons. Tot nou toe was dit nog nie warmer as 32 nie, ons dra nog truie. Die Cirrus is ook baie goedkoper as SAC, saam met vervoer het die kit my R3800.00 gekos en die insit was nie te moeilik nie die grootste probleem was om die twee 76mm gate te boor waardeur die pype van die enjin kompartement na voor die verkoeler loop.

Jan, wat is die grootte van die cirrus intercooler? Het jy enige fotos van die fitment .....

Hi Niel
Nee ek het ongelukkig nie fotos nie maar op Cirrus se website is een. Dit is nogal 'n mooi groot koeler ek sal hom vannaand gaan meet en more die presiese mates hier gee. Geskat is hy so 70mm dik, 300mm hoog en 500mm breed. En hy is baie stewig gebou, behoort nie sommer te breek nie. Die advertensie reken hy is so gebou dat jy hom met veiligheid met 'n Wap kan skoon spuit.

Ek sal die thread dophou dit lyk interesant.
Hoe is die krag verskil met die cooler?

hi, i was told the same thing, did you perhaps find out a way to move the SAC cooler out of the way without compromising radiator air flow?

Just remember if you fit a intercooler you really need to get a chip as well.
It will just make sure that you can make use of the intercoolers abilities properly :)

I did my stage 1 in 2 steps.

1) Intercooler + ECU chip. <- This was the most expensive part
2) Free flow + Sport flow air filter.

Marty,

did your fuel consumption improve?

What did it cost?

This is how I did it

Marty,

Johan, fuel consumption did improve. But not by as much as you would think. But having more power got this side effect... u have it so you want to use it... using more power takes more juice.

So in short drive as before... you save a few cents. But having the extra power... I tend to have a heavy foot. *grinz*
But if you would ask me if I would do it all over again, I would tell you no.
Rather go for something like a snorkel. Does not give you the same but it gives you a little and does not have the side affect of reducing your approach angle.

All and all set me about 13k back.
