Default Air to water intercooler

Just bought an air to water intercooler. Self contained unit, has it's own radiator and circulating pump. I'll get it mid next week. Extremely psyched to get it. I'll post a few pics along the way of the build

Awesome! I have some factory Cummins ones off a boat laying around somewhere. Not the puny things that bolt to the intake. Nice high flow units.

I've debated putting them on the 92. It doesn't need them but it would be nice.

Got a link to teh one you got?

I know it sounds bad, but it's an eBay item. I'll post it. I originally found a air to water intercooler on a diesel performance site. Then decided to look on eBay, they used the exact same terminology so I figured they were related in some way and trust worthy.

I'll purchase the icebox once I get things installed, going to make a quick disconnect set-up and hang the box on my bumper when im pulling and disconnect it when driving on the street. Also going to redesign the ice box, they designed it as a wet sump. I'm going to cut it open and solder up a copper core then tig it back together. I'll be able to use a anti freeze mix in the system and never worry about dilution from melting ice.

I've been planing on building a intercooler like this to replace the factory intake. I'm stealing this technology from the Jet ski guys.....

So far all the pulls I've been in haven't said anything about water to air, or anything about aftertreatment at all for that matter. Last pull I was in bumped me up a class bc of an aftermarket turbo. Only thing is no water/meth or propane

Lol, well Bobby, you should know from my previous builds I don't skimp. I like doin my stuff right the first time. That $200 is going to be in quick disconnects, shut off valves, t's and AN to pipe fittings. The $100 is going to be in stainless braided hose. The electric fan is advertised for 1250 CFM and the air to water exchanger is recommended for over 700 CFM
