right so what we decided on intercooler and tweak it or not lol

I can't find anything wrong with tweaking the pump tbh

Bit more smoke, but who gives a ****? At the end of the day, any diesel car smokes a bit, just some more than others.

yep on an engine that's at least 16 years old and probably done in excess of 200,000 miles like I said in my 1st reply just asking for trouble.

but thats his choice, he asked for intercooler advice not a sermon on why he shouldnt do it

if you fit a masive intercooler. You run the risk of blocking the air flow thu the rad and blowing the engine.

on a 200 the intercooler is mounted alongside the rad so cant block airflow to rad

Even with my dads intercooler theres no problem with airflow really

There will never be a problem anyway as air will pass though a full size intercooler then reach the rad

yep been out in a few been laning with peeps that have fited em never to a 200 though. never had any trouble keeping up with them. the risks of knackering an old engine int worth the extra?? performance.

And the rad will still get plenty of air flow. And there are 2 different fins 1 for road with closer together fins, and off road with bigger space between the fins for more air to rad and easier cleaning

if you tweak the pump correctly you wont do any harm to anything

More likely to kill the gearbox than the engine with a mild fueling increase, not talking about 30psi and injectors off a cummins
