Intercooling my 91.0
I've got a non ic 1ton. What all parts would I need from a 91.5+ truck to make mine intercooled? Or is there an aftermarket kit I can use? What's the price difference going to be and what advantages will it bring? Thanks!
i have a 90 i intercooled, this i what i did: godspeed 4"x12"x30" intercooler off of ebay,
3" piping kit off of ebay(gotta look at the import stuff) all my couplers came from www.max-redline.com i got a 1st gen intercooled intake horn from commins power systems, i had to "shave" my grill for the ic to fit but i still have my stock grill in place. i had to flip the intake cover around so the intake horn would clear the master cylinder, and had to extend my intake heater wires. umm if i had to do it again i would have gotten piping made for the truck instead of doing it myself. we got a local guy that does that kinde of stuff the guy does amazing work. i may still get him to make me a set of pipes. ummm.......
it took me a friday night and the rest of the week end to do
oh i forgot i got my clamps from five star international
i lost 300* off of my egts and the truck seems to run a lot better
i did however lose like 7psi....din't seem to make a difference
hope this helps

That's because the charge-air entering the engine is now denser (cooler). The intercooler is doing it's job.
