The standard vehicle's turbo charger function is to compress and force a greater volume of air into the engine, producing more power. 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. Worst of all, at high ambient temperatures, the level of power drops off by 15%. 

Not anymore! 

At APS, all of our engineering experience and expertise has gone into our 80 Series Safari front mount intercooler which offers massive cooling capacity.  Our high efficiency heat exchanger intercooler core utilizes light weight cast aluminium trapezoidal 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. 
 
Warm air flows from the turbocharger to the intercooler, returning compressed cool air to the engine. The cooler air returned to your engine by a Safari Intercooler system ensures more power particularly at high ambient temperatures and more importantly, much lower engine operating temperatures with improved engine durability.  

And being a front mount intercooler, it doesn't suffer the serious heat soak problems of top mount intercoolers, particularly during low speed hard slogging in 4WD 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 Turbo System transforms the 80 Series with power and torque you may have never thought achievable. 

	Tough Torque:  At just 2,000 RPM, the Safari 1HD-T Intercooler System produces a tidal wave of 446 Nm of torque. That's a massive 25% increase over the standard vehicle's 357 Nm at the same engine speed. If you've ever traversed long stretches of sand, you'll know exactly what that means.
	Real Power:  Installed on your 1HD-T turbo diesel, the Safari Intercooler System delivers a 28% increase in power output from 115 kW to a massive 147 kW. That certainly takes the russian roulette out of overtaking.

• trickling over 4WD obstacles.
• towing big loads up steep grades stress free.
• blasting up sand dunes.
• passing a big truck with complete confidence that you have power to do it safely
