Intercooler?
 
I was thinking about lowering my egt's and have a tight budget, too low for water/meth inj. right now :nope: Would acid dipping or stripping the flakey paint off my intercooler increase its efficiency much?

cut a small hole in bottom of your intake box,get an oil filter cooler,put zmax in your truck

if he cuts a hole in the bottom of his air box he will be sucking dirt and shit threw his engine DO NOT DO THIS besides it looks like he takes his truck in the mud... acid dipping it isnt worth it BUT how good do u clean it after playing in the mud? it might be clogged hold a flashlight up to it and u should be able to see right threw it if its dirts pressure wash it but hold the pressure washer straight cuz if u dont it will bend the fins :c:

Yeah, I wouldn't cut a hole in the airbox lol, although I clean my airfilter religiously. But thank you for the advice! Would a engine oil cooler and Zmax really lower egts though? That seems unlikely to me.. :humm:

zmax yes it lowered mine about 90-100 farenhiet & the oil cooler should,if it doesnt itl help keep your engine run cooler though

i ment clean your intercooler lol sry i didnt say that when i was talkin about pressure washing also z max does work thats not a bad idea and and i have a crazy amount of work done to my truck and i flow almost 700cc of fuel and run 5k rpms and my oil never needed on kind of treatment (not saying it wont help just saying i never had to and i dont see how it would lower egts sence air doesnt touch oil but i have been wrong before) if u wanna lower egts and u were gunna spend the money to acid dip u might be better off just buying a water meth kit there is a few used setups for sale for 3-400 bucks with the controller and u get better mpg and in the summer u can run water and in the winter run washer fluid i hope this helps u

the oil cooler mostly lowers engine temps

97CumminsDiesel 03-06-2011 05:19 PM

yeah makes sense. i'll have to keep an eye out for a decent water/meth injection kit. Thanks
