hey i want to get a intercooler for my truck pretty much beacause i need it unless thier is another way i can get around having high egts. i went to my local junkyard and he said he would sell me one for 250 dollers but i need the pipe to do it with. is this a good price for the intercooler? also what parts am i going to need to do this.

 

wut are u hittin for egt?
cuz i wudnt think with just stage 1s ud be in that trouble.

 

$250 is quite a bit for a stock IC... Check CL and I bet you can get one for quite a bit more. Once you have the IC you have two choices, build your own pipes using a early 99 Y pipe and a few factory IC pipes, or order up a banks IC tube kit...

It will take some fabrication, but I have done two of them, took the course of one day each.

OBS trucks have no Intercooler, so you get higher EGT's quicker. They come stock with 90cc injectors, and stage 1's should be about 160cc. So you double the fuel, you can about double your max EGT's!

 

yeah i dont want to order a banks IC pipe kit they are a pretty penny and i dont have all that much, also i weld so its not like its a big deal for my to make my own pipe system for it

if i remeber correctly a guy on here said tey are 900 and change for a banks pipe kit not counting the intercooler

 

You should be able to get the kit for less then $400... If you can find it. Some vendors can get them.

You can get the E99 Y pipe from people upgrading there E99's to the later style and then you will need one set of 6.0 pipes and one set of 7.3 pipes. IIRC you dont have to do a damn thing to the cold side, but the hot side I ended up cutting and welding some of everything and made it a two piece pipe to make it easy to install.

 

well a guy on powerstroke.org is parting out a 2000 and he said he would give me the intercooler, boots, pipes and clamps for 150 shipped idk does this sound like a good deal?

 

So????

 

Good deal for sure!

 

ok and i hate to keep bugging you but what eles exactly is it that i would need?? to do this pipe wise and where can i find the early y pipe ive looked everywere and cant find one
