hi greg , how you tell is that the mmc's (imports) have chrome bumpers , headlight washers , electric windows all the bells and whistles really !!!!! and also usually low km's

[Greg]

Mines definitely not an import then...

[Macneil]

Macneil just check the engine no. ive included a photo of it mine being a 4d56 its located at the rear of the engine above the starter motor also the engine itself 2.5 ltr intercooled turbo diesel ( mine is an 12/88 model NF import )

Hey Robbi, just saw the pic you uploaded for the engine number inquiry. Is that a dual battery system you've got set up ? I have an 89 SWB import tdi and trying to find some info on getting a decent size battery in the engine compartment. If you do have dual batteries, please tell me about your setup and if possible a couple more pics, I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers

Hi Robbi,

Bruce here, we were emailing back when I got mine.

Can anybody who has a 2.5 intercooled model , could you take a picture of how the intercooler mounts to the firewall and the front?

I have got the complete kit from a Aussie model(Minus the EGR Yay!) but dont see how to mount the cooler

Thanks

bruce

[robbi]

yeah hi bruce , well it may be more difficult as mine is bolted to the firewall anyways here are some pix for you

[ziggy]

Thanks Robbi, nice detailing you've done there. So on the later models the firewall actually has some brackets attached eh.

Thanks

Bruce

yeah im thinking as mine is an 12/88 mmc (jap import) and ive never yet seen an australian 88 intercooled TD ,, though if anyone has got/seen one id be more than interested to have a look , japan is around 3 yrs ahead when it comes to pajero's as alot of 91 aussie model parts fit mine ie: rear disc pads etc.

[ziggy]

Quite a few shorties around in Brissie about that age with ics , but probably imports. They do look rather sweet.

Yeah I scored both manifolds , turbo and ic and pipes from a aussie model, probably a gen 2 , but the turbo is the same as on my gen1 86, however the manifolds are different cause the inlet is from the top not the side like my non ic , and there is no egr pipes on either the inlet or exhaust.

I really must work it out before summer, as I have qite a bit of soot around the turbo area, and i think im loosing boost from some of those gaskets

[robbi]

hi again bruce , i will be arriving in brissy 2morro(monday) and staying at the windsor int. motel on lutwyche rd windsor , if ya wanna come around and check out my mmc pajero and how the intercooler is mounted then my no. is 0404125747 and i will be leaving brissy early wed morning cheers robbi and as you can see in the photos , ive shut off the inlet egr and also the exhaust egr

[ziggy]

Thanks for the offer Robbi, but im out Ipswich way, and would be very dark by the time I got to Chermside, and this rain !!! Will make Chermside a not very nice place to drive around traffic wise.

Cheers
