Patrol GU Kits:

Stage 1 includes installation of the Nissan TD42-T (Factory Turbo) GU Series Front Mount Intercooler

The professionally developed and engineered Safari Intercooler System for Nissan's 4.2 L factory turbo diesel engine delivers absolutely amazing performance. It's not only impressive - it's reliable, consistent and sustainable power. The cooler air returned to your engine by the Safari Intercooler system also ensures lower engine operating temperatures.

The standard vehicle's turbo charger function is to compress and force a greater volume of air into the engine, thus producing more power.  However, it is a basic law of physics that when you compress air you increase it's temperature. As hot air is less dense than cool air at the same pressure, the total amount of air available to sustain the correct air/fuel ratio and to produce power is lessened. At high ambient temperatures, the level of power drops off by 15%. 

Not any more!  At Safari, all of our engineering experience and expertise has gone into our Patrol front mount intercooler which offers massive cooling capacity.  Our high efficiency heat exchanger intercooler core utilizes light weight cast aluminium end tanks and offers exceptional efficiency and low restriction. That, along with our custom kevlar reinforced rubber air ducts and highest quality fittings ensures optimum performance with unsurpassed reliability and longevity under extreme operating conditions. 

An engine that runs cooler, runs more reliably longer. Higher speeds and/or greater load carrying conditions can be maintained too - without the normal fuel consumption penalty as more power for a given volume of fuel (given identical conditions) means more economical fuel consumption.  For overtaking, towing or touring, the Safari Intercooled System transforms the big Nissan with power and torque you may have never thought achievable.
