Im thinking about an intercooler on my truck. Whats the down low on them? What will fit? (new and used).... What mods will I have to make to make the intercooler fit?

 

This weekend I will do a "how to" on my IC install. Hang tight. Or use search option

 

very nice thank you

incase I don't see it will you post here and tell me it is up on the wall

 

Yea I'll put a link in here for it... Here is a sneak peak

READ THIS!

 

Now can I use any intercooler? a cheep one? something like this

27"X6.75"X2.5" ALUMINUM FMIC BAR&PLATE FRONT MOUNT TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER | eBay

Has anyone used a cheep one like this and had good or bad luck?

 

That one is rather small. I have heard that 1000cu/inch is recommended and that one is about 300. As far as the quality, it seems to me that if it is an air to air system, the worst thing that could happen is it will leak. there are no moving parts to fail or fluids to leak. I have been entertaining something like this:

GODSPEED FMIC RX7 RX-7 V-MOUNT INTERCOOLER NEW | eBay

Placed behind the radiator, with a dedicated electric fan. It is about 750 CU. inch. If it could be squeezed behind the radiator, you could turn the ports up, and the piping would be a breeze. Of course you would need to go to electric cooling fans, but I think you could still get two 12 inch electric fans below it to cool the radiator, set up on a thermal switch. I need to do some more homework. I think I will need about 6 inches between the radiator and the serp. belt, there might not be enough room but I will check out all my options when I am settled in Denver.

 

Ok cool.I don't know a lot about this yet, just want to make sure I do it right when I do it. This will make a big diff on my egt's?

 

dirty diesel, are you going to buy a builder kit for the piping for make your own kit up?

i am looking forward to see how you route it since you have the ats 093 turbo.

 

Just wait

 

ah one of these builds LOL. i guess i can wait.

 

Pics will be up Monday night....ran out of gas for the welder LOL

 

I wouldnt think it would be too hard...just remembering to turn the snail around and you should be good, maybe somehow offset the turbo(by turning it or otherwise) and fabbing the piping to be feeding and whatnot....

 

Can't turn snail around.....it is offset so you can only get few inches of travel. Befor you hit the turbo. And clocking the compressor housing on turbo works well
