I'm with you on the bigger radiator and putting oil coolers infront, but I'd rather cut a hole in the bonnet, fit a scoop and top mount the intercooler. I'd be worried about road debris clogging it up and stone damage, let alone offroading it. Sounds effin' awesome btw!
Hi! I love your channel, and off course your amazing g wagon! I have a 2000 G500 and just have to know what head lights you got there! They look absolutely smashing!
I would mount those oil coolers fittings sideways not fittings bottom like you have. and those oil coolers gives radiator heat load. i got only around 420hp from my 606, oil coolers heat (engine and transmission) goes under car and intercooler and radiator enjoys fresh cool air. i had issue with oil cooler installed first, excess heat went to intercooler and radiator, remember that is NO GO if you see one.
Have you considered/tried a top mounted intercooler with a bonnet scoop?

Top mounted with a scoop sounds like a common sense solution. However, heat rises, its gonna be hot under that hood. With his configuration a lot of heat is being dissipated through the radiator and its headed up. A hole in the hood (bonnet) would act as a chimney or a path for hot air to escape. Also scoops are useless at idle. Down low is the way to go. Gelandewagens have the highest ground clearance of any road legal production vehicle commonly driven.
Instead of a scoop, use reverse style scoop ( cant remember the name sorry) that way heat will escape at idle and will be sucked out as you drive due to the low pressure at the winshield
Hi. Very good result! But why you not using cooler on top of engine, like a toyota prado90-120 and 200 series? Cooler must fit in G tuning top (a'la Brabus nose). I mean it's make possible fit realy big cooler.
That intercooler ain't going to last 2 seconds offroad (fitting a guard defeats the purpose of air flow does it not?). What do you recommend for an off-road setup where you are not wanting such high outputs? What is the peak torque figures for your various engines?
@@CarLos-yi7ne True, in one of their videos I've heard someone say that they do use V12 internals in their boxes. On Friday I covered a couple of hundred miles in a CL65 which has approx 800lb/ft after a remap. The 722.6 gearbox was smooth and predictable, if a little slow by modern standards.
A all terrain vehicle which is not useable in all terrain anymore, what a pitty. I would go for charge cooling and put the radiator (which is much easier to install than intercooler) in front of the both oil coolers. I dont expect any cooling issues with that.
I did use it quite a lot off road with no problems but I know what your saying if you drive it full speed at a big rock in the middle of the road it will bend it, axles and those parts would be fine but intercooler would be bent.
why y'all put automatic transmissions? Its a car meant for having fun right? With a manual you get much better reliability, throttle response and instant power delivery and of course a lot more fun shifting. Also manuals are cheaper
