120 Series D4D: Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) Upgrade

The original top-mounted intercooler on the 120 Series D4D is considered restrictive and prone to heat soak.

Solution

Install a front-mounted intercooler (FMIC) kit from Cross Country 4x4.

Parts

  • Cross Country 4x4 FMIC kit for 120 Series D4D (including intercooler and pipework)

Cost

  • FMIC kit: Approximately $1580
  • Installation: Approximately $400

Notes

  • Installation requires relocation of the winch control box and air horn, and modification/removal of plastic tabs and brackets.
  • Foam sealing is used to direct airflow from the viscous fan to the condenser core.
  • A Tunit chip from Opposite Lock SA, with a custom tune to suit the FMIC, was used after the intercooler install.
  • A 3-inch exhaust system was mentioned as a potential future upgrade.
  • It’s recommended to monitor injector values, and check the oil pump pickup screen, before performing engine modifications.
