PDI Front Mount Intercooler kit suit Landcruiser HZJ105 105 Series Mk2 1HZ series core

Price range: $1,800.00 through $1,880.00 incl. GST

Unlock the full potential of your Toyota LandCruiser 105 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 105 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
  • various hot side piping designs to accommodate many different turbo and airbox combinations.
Whether you’re towing, touring or pushing your build hard, this is one of the most effective intercooler upgrades for turbo diesel LandCruiser 105 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

With this core we have designed the end tanks to work around the air conditioning line on the drivers side.

If you would like our large core please ensure you have the HDJ100 AC pipe from compressor to condenser OR order one of our replacement pipes CLICK HERE.

Our intercoolers fit with all bull bar and winch designs as the core is set back to get more draw through from the main engine fan. The fitting of thermo fans may be required for other brands where the intercooler is located too far forward and there is no draw through or ramming of air from the front since the bull bar and other items are in the way.

The moulded end tanks with rear facing outlets have enabled a bigger core, then we pushed it back as far as possible to increase the draw through from the engine cooling fan. With the outlets being rear facing, the stainless steel pipes are connected to the intercooler with straight silicon.

While it is not as effective as our larger core, most 1HZ aren’t pushed too hard and this core will easily cater for almost all turbo 1HZ builds. This core is designed to fit around the condenser pipe.

Air can be felt strongly pulling through the intercooler 50-80mm from the core, while idling on startup. To continue to have the air being pulled through while engine temps are low (and the fan hub normally free wheels) some extra fluid can be added to the viscous coupling.

EGT Gauges

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

Brake Booster Upgrade

PDI have the only brake booster upgrade on the market for the base spec 105 series that have the non-ABS systems. The factory booster is a small single diaphragm unit which is insufficient in when towing or when wheel size is increased. The PDI upgrade for the 105 is a dual diaphragm unit with larger than standard diameter giving an increase in the mechanical advantage able to be applied to the master cylinder by 50% and has transformed the vehicle for many 105 series owners. Can can be purchased HERE.

Upgraded Airbox

Typically we suggest this mod is cost-effective if you have a 12mm pump and are running higher flow injectors with more than 160kw at wheels. PDI have their own design airbox that is cast aluminium, uses a 200 series panel filter and has stainless steel latches to hold the lid down. They can be purchased HERE
