PDI Front Mount intercooler suit Isuzu D-Max / Holden Colorado 2008-2012 RC (plus RA with 4JJ1)
$1,700.00 incl. GST
Unlock the full potential of your Isuzu D-Max and Holden Colorado 2008-2012 RC 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 Isuzu D-Max and Holden Colorado RC turbo diesel engines.
Testing shows the PDI front mount dramatically outperforms both factory and aftermarket 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 Isuzu D-Max and Holden Colorado 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.
Winch compatible as it sits behind the vertical support frame. The clearances are perfect for us to maximise the intercooler size.
Additional Information
If you have a 2″ body lift, then typically this just requires the silicon onto the turbo and onto the intake manifold to be kept slightly longer.
Connection of the turbo is a 2” straight silicon into a 2” 180 stainless bend to drop down behind the airbox. The pipe expands to 2.5” after the 180 and joins onto the intercooler with another 2.5” straight silicon. On the cold side the intercooler is connected with a 2.5” straight joiner and then we have a custom 180deg elbow that expands to go onto the up facing factory inlet manifold adapter.
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
