what intercooler did u put in ur truck

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

hey guys what year 7.3 stroker intercoolers work, i found a 99 f350 for a decent price.

 

Years 99-02, just like the one RSWORDS showed in post #6.

 

are they worth the trouble of puttin it in a ic first gen, and what about a second gen cooler, are they small too or would it be a good upgrade.

 

Make sure it has the metal ends and not plastic. Read the power stroke install thread in the sticky by NadirPoint

 

yea i just tried and now none of the pictures work.

 

Here is a really bad picture of my 2nd gen intercooler mounted.

 

how hard was that to install chicago mustangs, and how much did it help.

 

I noticed a "seat of the pants" difference but have no numbers or any proof of a difference. It seems like it gave it a bit more top end power and overall more consistent power. I went to the junk yard and bought this intercooler out of an 02 so it had the updated intercooler. I also pickup the intercooler tubing and used it for my truck otherwise it would have been much harder to make the piece to adapt the stock turbo to the 3in. The aluminum elbow off of the 24v fits onto my turbo and for the turbo side I simply used all of the OEM 24v stuff. on the intake side I went down to my local performance shop and purchased a piece of 90 degree mandrel bent tubing, I already had steel to make the flat plate. I recessed my a/c condenser behind the intercooler, which didn't require me to remove it so no recharge was needed. I had to make mounts for the condenser, which sit where the stock intercooler goes through the firewall. All in all it took me a night to do and was a very fun project. I will try to get more pics of it today while I'm tackling putting the second gen folding tow mirrors on.
