Safari Intercooler Systems 
for the Izuzu/Holden Rodeo 2.8 Turbo Diesel 
 
Impressive Power. Assured Durability.
Improved Economy.
 
 
APS professionally developed and engineered Safari ntercooler System for the Izuzu/Holden Rodeo turbo diesel delivers absolutely amazing performance. It's not only impressive - it's reliable, sustainable power. 

Cooler air returned to your engine by a Safari Intercooler system ensures much lower engine operating temperatures. The 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 Rodeo 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 Intercooler System transforms the Rodeo with power and torque you may have never thought achievable. 

  
The APS commitment to outstanding performance. "The APS philosophy will not change: Reliable performance must always be achieved."
 
 
Tough Torque: 
At just 2,300 RPM, the Safari Intercooler System produces a tidal wave of 288 Nm of torque. That's a massive 28% increase over the standard vehicle's 225 Nm. If you've ever traversed long stretches of sand, you'll know exactly what that means.
Real Power: 
Installed on your 2.8 diesel Rodeo, the Safari Intercooler System delivers a 20% increase in power output from 74 kW to a massive 89 kW. Add it up and it really is like turning your 4 cylinder diesel onto a big six. That certainly takes the russian roulette out of overtaking.
 
Facts and figures are one thing. Driving is another. You'll discover the best things about your Safari enhanced Rodeo on the road,  tracks or on the job.   
  • 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 
It's like riding a tidal wave of torque.
