I can't find a intercooler for PS, 1st gen or 2nd gen here. I found one first gen cooler n tubes but they are overpriced on there parts by a lot. If I got a 3in turbo crossover tube and a h1c turbine housing n wheel from an intercooler truck or hx35 would I see a drop in egt's?

 

short answer, yes.

 

are you looking for a 1st gen intercooler? ive got a stocker. hasnt been pressure tested, sitting in my garage . pm me if intrested. free

I will have all my stock IC stuff up for sale sometime this winter. Will be installing PS IC and coolertubz.

 

What do you mean by short answer will it do the trick somewhat or not at all?

 

Yes it will help, a larger turbo will help a lot. Same goes for less restrictions.

I'd get a 60mm GDS for the baby H1c. Then some cooler tubes.

 

I gotta say a huge thanks to crazy glem for the cooler I can't thank you enough man that's what my truck needs in these hot Okanagan temps. Pulling something puts the temp through the roof real quick if I'm not super careful.

I have a buddy who just did his 93 up so I might eventually get the turbo off him someday when I can afford to buy another turbo.

Can I take the truck to a muffler shop n get them to bend up some 3 inch pipes for cooler tubes or will it not hold?

 

They'll hold pressure fine. The issue will be having the boots come off if they don't roll a bead at each end. 3" tubing has an area of 7 square inches...multiply by boost pressure and you're looking at ~175 pounds trying to pull them out if you make 25 psi boost.

If you make your own pipes make sure to use proper clamps hse clamps are not reliable P.S. in process of boxing intercooler so greyhound wont ruin it

While you do need something to hold the boots on, yu don't *have* to have beads rolled in the ends. It's a good method, but it depends on how much it's going to cost.

I've had good luck just running a thin bead of weld as close to the end of the pipe as I can without burning through. Hit them with a file when you're done to knock down any sharp spots that may cut on your boot and you're good to go.

I'm putting 45-50 psi through 2 sets of pipes with this on it.

 

well your question was will upgrading to an hx35 and going to a 3" crossover drop your EGTs. That's why I said it that way, my bad. I was just saying it'll help, but it's anyone's guess as to how much exactly. Adding that intercooler will definitely help out. Now to just do something about that baby h1c!

also, I had my hotside intercooler pipe made without beads rolled. I only ever had a boot pop off once. it was LOUD when it popped off. I just put it back on and tightened the clamp as tight as I could. It never popped off after that.

 

I can't thank you enough for your generosity.

 

That's a smart idea thanks man. My baby H1c is putting out 28-31 n I don't feel like going any higher.

 

K I'll keep all these things in mind when I do it. Are the stock tubes 2.5 or 3in I don't remember if I asked already or not.

I have a buddy with a 93 he put on a garret turbo n said he would sell me his h1c off his intercooled truck once I have the extra money.
