I was wondering if any one has put 3 inch intercooler pipeing on there trucks? what was the result? I was hoping for some cooler egts, i figured i would lose a little boost responce, but im not worried.

Where did yall get the piping and cuplers?

thanks for the help.

 

ive seen kits on ebay i think they where called cool tubes or some thing like that i think they where 3 inch idk if that helps you but mabey some one on here is running them i was intersted in them my self

 

Pop over to 1stgen.org.

There is a guy over there that makes them I believe. He might be here as well.

 

Yup, he's making me a set as we speak!!

well i was planning on using my stock intercooler, just building a 3'' elbow off the grid heater. Do yall think this would work?

thanks

 

Im building a set as we speak also, only Im using a powerstroke cooler. IVe got a short radius 3" elbow for the elbow at the intake and a another 90 and a 45 for the cool side. Im waitingto hear back onthe 3" elbow for the hotside. Ill get photos up when I get em done...theyll be nice with a cummins beige paint job.

 

are yall using aluminized pipe or stainless, cause i got a whole bunch of exhaust pipe i could use?

 

Stainless would look prettier, but either would work I'm sure.

 

I don't think it is going to help much unless you upgrade the intercooler to go 3" all the way through. The stock IC inlet/outlet will be a bottleneck to the flow and prevent you from gaining any benefit. In other words, it'll flow much the same as before.

 

All of my stuff is exhaust pipe. The crossover I have right now is 2.5" exhaust tubing with clear engine enamel. It looks alright. Im gonna paint the intercooler tubes, heater lines, valve covers, and whatever else tan. Probably gonna paint the turbo and some other things blue to match the truck.

 

The guy that makes them is Tim Worline and they are very nice 409 stainless. I installed a set with my powerstroke intercooler. I think I have some pictures some where? He is on 1st gen, DTR and TDR.

 

My CoolerTubz will be here mid next week. when I get them, I will Post a pic.
