PDI Front Mount Intercooler Kit suit Landcruiser 60 Series HJ61/HJ60 12HT 2H

$1,700.00 incl. GST

Unlock the full potential of your Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series with the PDI Front Mount Intercooler Kit engineered for maximum airflow, lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) and serious gains in turbo diesel performance.
Designed for 4WD enthusiasts, touring setups and high performance builds, this kit delivers superior cooling efficiency compared to traditional top mount intercoolers especially under load, towing and off road conditions.
The PDI front mount design provides direct airflow through the grille, ensuring the intercooler receives the coldest possible air. This results in significantly lower intake temperatures, improved combustion efficiency and more usable power.
With large 2.5” stainless steel intercooler piping and a high efficiency bar and plate core, this is a true high performance intercooler upgrade for LandCruiser 60 Series turbo diesel engines.

Testing shows the PDI front mount dramatically outperforms both factory and aftermarket top mount intercoolers:

  • Significantly lower intake air temperatures (IATs)
  • Up to 100°C reduction in EGTs under load
  • Improved air fuel ratios, fuel economy and engine response
  • Supports high horsepower builds
Whether you’re towing, touring or pushing your build hard, this is one of the most effective intercooler upgrades for turbo diesel LandCruiser 60 Series vehicles available.

Built for Real 4WD Conditions

  • Bar and plate intercooler core for maximum durability
  • 2.5” stainless steel pipework for strength and airflow
  • No piping through wheel arches reduced risk of damage off-road
  • Retains compatibility with factory dual battery setups
  • Mounted behind the grille for faster cooling and reduced heat soak
It’s no coincidence that OEM manufacturers place radiators at the front, airflow matters.

Additional Information

Why Front Mount Beats Top Mount

Top mount intercoolers are popular due to ease of installation and bonnet scoop aesthetics but they simply can’t match the performance of a properly designed front mount.

A front mount intercooler delivers:

  • Better cooling at both low and high speeds
  • Consistent airflow regardless of driving conditions
  • Lower intake temps and improved engine efficiency

Brake Booster Upgrade

PDI have the only brake booster upgrade on the market for the 60 series. Unlike the factory unit, it is dual diaphragm, but we have also increased the diameter of the booster to increase surface area and effectiveness. This has allowed many 60 series owners to be able to lock up their brakes on systems where it was otherwise impossible. Our booster increases the mechanical advantage able to be applied to the master cylinder by 50% and has transformed the vehicle for many 60 series owners. Either can be purchased by clicking here: Brake Booster and selecting either the 4 bolt option.

EGT Gauge.

If you plan to install an EGT probe, we recommend doing this into the dump pipe after the turbo. Recently we have decided to stock an EGT probe system that uses a Class A probe with 2m long lead and digital display making it easy to read and mount. We have another option in green that has a smaller thread for mounting into intake air temps if you wish to see how you system is performing. These can be purchased HERE

The PDI Landcruiser 60 series HJ61 HJ60 Front mount intercooler is designed to fit on both the round headlight and the twin square light model. It sits further back than all other kit and custom installs we have seen as it has recessed areas in the end tanks for the condenser fittings and piping. It works with the air conditioning system still in place.

Left Hand Drive Models – Due to the steering box being positioned on the left-hand side of the vehicle, there may be minor installation challenges with our intercooler piping. To address this, it will be necessary to modify the supplied piping to ensure proper clearance for the steering box.

Also available is a stock replacement flexible joiner from the turbo inlet to the alloy crossover pipe – available CLICK HERE.

If happen to have a 12HT powered HJ75 (or a 2H turbo) we are able to supply a 65mm thick core specific to the narrow nose 75 and 79 series and the intake pipe.
