Custom Land Cruiser Intercooler CAD
Budget: $25 – $50 AUD
I need a complete 3 D CAD package for an aluminium, top-mount intercooler that drops straight onto a Toyota Land Cruiser running the 1VD-FTV turbo-diesel. The unit will live under a bonnet that sees long-distance towing, slow technical crawling, red-dust corrugations, and the odd river crossing, so every decision in the model has to favour cooling efficiency, smooth airflow, and outright toughness.
Working envelope is tight, yet I still want the largest practical core, balanced fin density, and even charge distribution to both banks. Factory mounting points, sensor bosses, and hose locations must remain plug-and-play; nothing on the finished truck should look aftermarket apart from the performance lift.
Please provide:
• A fully parametric model (STEP plus native SolidWorks or Inventor).
• 2 D fabrication drawings with weld symbols, material call-outs, and tolerances.
• A bill of materials keyed to the drawings.
• Optional but welcomed: basic CFD to confirm pressure drop and heat-rejection targets.
Acceptance criteria
• Model fits within OEM bonnet clearance and reuses stock fasteners.
• Pressure drop < 1 psi at 200 kW engine load (simulated or calculated).
• Core and tanks drawn in 5000- or 6000-series aluminium plate/extrusion.
• Mounting brackets withstand 3 g vibrational load without yielding (hand calcs or quick FEA are fine).
Attach any relevant past work when you bid so I can see how you handle tight packaging and thermal projects. I’ll be available throughout the design phase for quick dimensions or under-bonnet photos. Let’s make a cooler that keeps the V8 happy no matter where the track goes.
