Upgraded Intercooler for Mitsubishi Pajero NS, NT, NW, NX 3.2L Diesel (2006–2021) Stage 2
Freight costs are calculated in two ways:
Small items – Flat-rate satchel shipping for items that fit into small packages.
Larger items – Calculated based on actual dimensions and weight.
Supplier-direct items – Charged at the supplier's freight rate when items ship directly from them.
As a small business, we aim to subsidise shipping where possible, but margins don't always allow it. We charge what we're charged by carriers, often less. This is why your freight charge updates as you add products to your cart, reflecting the most accurate cost for your specific order.
We offer a 30-day change-of-mind return from the dispatch date (excluding clearance and final sale items).
To be eligible, items must be unused, uninstalled, and returned in original packaging. Approved change-of-mind returns are refunded to the original payment method, less a 15% restocking fee. Original shipping fees are non-refundable and return shipping is at the customer’s expense.
The restocking fee does not apply to faulty or incorrect items under Australian Consumer Law.
This product comes with 3-year warranty.

Looking for a direct upgrade from your stock intercooler? This Stage 2 intercooler is designed to suit Mitsubishi Pajero NS, NT, NW and NX models with the 3.2L turbo diesel engine (2006–2021). With a larger core and up to 30% more airflow than stock, it helps reduce intake temperatures for better towing, off-road performance and all-round efficiency.
We run this exact intercooler on our own Pajero and have tested it on long trips, beach runs and regular towing. It’s a reliable, bolt-in upgrade that delivers more consistent performance and better cooling, especially when your engine’s working hard.
Stage 1 vs Stage 2 – What’s the difference?
Stage 2 features stronger bottom mounts that are more resistant to bending, slightly more airflow (manufacturer-claimed), and comes with a longer 3-year warranty compared to 2 years on Stage 1.
Why we rate it:
- Suits Mitsubishi Pajero NS, NT, NW, NX 3.2L Diesel (2006–2021)
- Up to 30% more airflow than stock
- High-flow bar and plate intercooler core
- Full aluminium construction (core and end tanks)
- TIG welded and pressure tested up to 3 bar
- Direct factory replacement, no mods needed
- Backed by a 3-year warranty (Stage 2)
I decided to give a new life to my Pajero’s air intake system and invested in the BGT 4x4 stage two intercooler plus silicone hoses. I am not too experienced with mechanical works, but do a fair bit of DIY, so after watching a few YouTube videos, I decided to take on the swap myself. It took me a good five hours, including the fixing of a broken fan shroud clip (oops..) and replenishing the lost coolant from the disconnected radiator hose with a system bleed. The trickiest part was the removal and replacement of the bottom fan shroud attachment, but I took my time and got there finally. Test drove the car and everything is running super smooth. Having the upgraded system gives me some piece of mind when doing heavy 4wd work.
Looking good Baz! Thanks for the review and enjoy your new mods!
Great upgrade. Just towed my 2.5 ton van from Victoria to Queensland with the new intercooler in my NT Pagero. Definitely noticed the difference going up hills. Only negative is that my mechanic said he had to modify a bracket to fit it onto place; there is no mention of this in the website. Still he said it was pretty straight forward. Worth the investment. Thanks BGT 4x4.
Awesome to hear Anthony! We are getting those brackets sorted right this minute as the manufacturer had an oopsie.
Founder's Note - From Dewald & Nicole
Even before BGT4X4 existed, the mission was about you - showing that it’s possible to build a capable 4WD without overspending, so you can spend more time enjoying the lifestyle.
Back in 2021, Dewald was sharing Pajero mods on YouTube while still at uni. Like many of you, we were either DIY-building on the driveway or going on deep dives to source gear from all corners of the internet.
The goal wasn’t to chase the cheapest option, but to find parts that actually worked, delivered real value, and didn’t leave you with buyer’s remorse. That same frustration - and the demand from other Pajero owners who wanted the gear they saw working - became the spark for BGT4X4.
Fast forward, and today you have access to a carefully built range of over 200 products, tested on our own rigs so there's no guesswork. If it's not good enough for our Pajero, it won’t end up on the site.
What really matters is the support you get along the way. From the moment you land here to months after your install, you’ve got a direct line to Dewald. This means you get straight, honest advice from someone who’s fitted the gear, tested it, and lives the same 4WD lifestyle you do.
Our purpose is simple: to give you confidence in every purchase. Quality gear, prices that make sense, and real support from people who care.
Thank you for trusting us with your build and for being part of this community. Your support means the world, and we don’t take it for granted.
See you on the tracks,
Dewald & Nicole
