Anybody got pics of their IDI to 12v swaps? Intercooled ones. Especially to turbo side. In the process of stabbing mines as we speak. Running into some difficulty there.
What exactly is the problem? Is the turbo getting too close to the HVAC box? You might need to flip the manifold if you haven't already. If the problem''s something else, what is it? As to the intercooler, assuming you're doing this on your '86 (although this pertains to any '80-'86 truck), getting the IC installed is going to be an adventure. You might want to do a search for Heath Sutton's posts about how he handled adding an intercooler to his '86 crew-cab.Anybody got pics of their IDI to 12v swaps? Intercooled ones.

With all due respect, it's worth noting that the other forums on this site receive hardly any traffic compared to the IDI forum. He could well go weeks before getting any sort of reply on any of the other boards, so for visibility's sake, I don't blame him for posting here. That, coupled with the fact that this pertains to an '86, makes me think this is the best place for it at the moment. A mod may disagree, though...This should be in the 12v or conversion section.

I certainly do disagree.With all due respect, it's worth noting that the other forums on this site receive hardly any traffic compared to the IDI forum.

there's a reason why there's a conversion section. It's to keep the violence down from the anti-Cummins camp. Do me a favor and look down there.
goofy-Calvin, there is an ANTI cummins group?!
From browsing on Youtube, I thought that the cure to ALL truck problems was to install a Cummins....even if it's not engine related?!
I am just yanking yer chain. I am in the process of gathering parts to do a 12V swap in a 1995 CCLB myself, I couldn't help but pick!
To the OP.
Do you have any pictures of your install so far? Start a new thread in the swap forum. I am SURE that will attract attention...positive attention.

Is there a sticker/badge I can get from said group??? Just kiddingIt's to keep the violence down from the anti-Cummins camp. Do me a favor and look down there.
Exactly.okay if you can get 70hp from a chip then my pump should have 200+ hp it has 3 or 4 chips in it thanks to father inlaw with hammer.
Here is some reading and pics to take a look at on my intercooled conversion:
