how to make your non I/C Truck an I/C Truck
Ok guys we put a stock I/C in a truck today in the shop and figured i would take pics and post it all up
As always ~ SAFETY FIRST!!
- Disconnect the Negative cable of your battery system.
- Chock the wheels and set the parking brake.
- Have a known good fire extinguisher close by.
- Have good lighting.
- Have a clean and orderly work area.
- Always exercise good working practice with your tools.
- Use safety goggles, gloves, masks, etc where appropriate.
so first off remove the grill
then i held up the cooler and marked the holes
the back side before
after cutting the holes put the cooler up where it is soupose to go and do a dry fit
I made brackets that plated that whole thing but i forgot to take pics
now your soupose to use a different intake manifold plate i made the stock one work
remove the crossover pipe and install the 90* intake horn
the throtle bracket would not fit with the new horn so i modified it to fit
with the bracket installed
other than that is was real simple

Cooler air means denser air, so a power gain will happen. How noticeable it will be is directly related to the full power screw... You simply get more bang for the turn, with the I/C.
The largest advantage is that, when you tweak the pump, the I/C will keep those EGT's down.
Either way, it's a win-win.

Interesting, but why is a non-intercooled 1989 Cummins engine rated at the same horsepower as an intercooled 1993 Cummins engine is?
Both are rated at 160hp @ 2500rpms.
I am under the impression that the intercooler DOES NOT add horsepower, but helps lower EGTs, and was added in '91-1/2 for emissions reasons, not for power gain.
Mark.

the non-i/c trucks do have bigger injectors from the factory which will support 300hp most say. So upgrading to an injector like PODs in a non-i/c is pretty much useless. Hope i added something to this discussion and i will be intercooling mine, and water injection, just for added reliability and keep heat down and power up
