A method for retrofitting a cooling system of a turbocharged engine system. The method comprises reconfiguring the cooling system so that at least some coolant flows from a first radiator to a second radiator, and from the second radiator to an inlet of an intercooler without first passing through a lubricant cooler. The method may be applied to a cooling system originally configured so that at least some of the coolant would flow through the first and second radiators in parallel, and from the first and second radiators to the lubricant cooler, before flowing to the inlet of the intercooler.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for retrofitting a cooling system of a turbocharged engine system, the method comprising:reconfiguring the cooling system, said reconfiguration converting a cooling-system flow from a first, original configuration to a second, retrofitted configuration,wherein in the first, original configuration at least some coolant flows through a first radiator and a second radiator in parallel and from the first and second radiators to a lubricant cooler before flowing to an inlet of an intercooler in the cooling system; andwherein in the second, retrofitted configuration, the at least some coolant flows from the first radiator to the second radiator in series, and from the second radiator to the inlet of the intercooler without first passing through the lubricant cooler.
