PDI Front Mount Intercooler Kit suit Toyota Prado 120
$1,600.00 incl. GST
Unlock the full potential of your Toyota Prado 120 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 stainless steel intercooler piping and a high efficiency bar and plate core, this is a true high performance intercooler upgrade for Prado 120 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
Whether you’re towing, touring or pushing your build hard, this is one of the most effective intercooler upgrades for turbo diesel Prado 120 Series vehicles available.
Built for Real 4WD Conditions
- Bar and plate intercooler core for maximum durability
- 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
The best intercooler for the Prado 120 series for anyone wanting the best out of their engine, for either towing or performance upgrades.
It was always going to be a difficult one due to limited space on the drivers side for piping from the front. After a few revisions this allowed us to get the maximum intercooler size and the placement is as high as we could get it. Placement is very important to maximise cooling, reduce potential for damage and to allow them to be fitted with winches.
Inlet temps have dropped significantly and the owner reporting that “its like driving it on a cold day all the time now” with inlet air temps 4-6deg above ambient.
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
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
