i searched and googled and couldn't find a definitive answer, is our intake opening the same as say a 4bbl Holley or gasser carb opening? I'd like to get rid of my banks sidewinder kidney bean and put on a cast hat for a gasser so I can build an intercooler. I just don't know if our hole size is the same

Typ4 has the good square cut gasket ring for The intake also. And he makes intake hats for it that I think he includes the gasket with as well

when ATS charged a arm and a leg for their IC kits, this was what you got.

Cool thanks for the pics gives me ideas. Do you or anyone else have a pic where you ran the tubing through the core support? I have a 92 and can't see any way to get past it with tubes. I have the banks ram air and I also want to either put that behind the grill or have it pull from the fender

log truck is back! in this episode of log truck here on channel 444,it's the installation of a FMIC (front mount intercooler) .......an exact copy of chip trucks FMIC install!



in the order of airflow;
hot side.turbo out to intercooler:
use existing blue banks 2.25" Hump Hose Coupler w/ upgraded T-bolt clamps 2 x 2.25" T-bolt clamps
1 x 2.25" Aluminized Steel, 3.00" Radius, 45 Degree Mandrel Bend
1 x 2.25" Silicone Straight Coupler with 2 x 2.25" T-bolt clamps OR a weld.
1 x 2.25" Aluminized Steel, 3.00" Radius, 90 Degree Mandrel Bend.
1 x 2.25" Silicone Straight Coupler with 2 x 2.25" T-bolt clamps OR a weld.
1 x 2.25" Aluminized Steel, 3.00" Radius, 90 Degree Mandrel Bend.
1 x 2.25" Silicone Hump Hose Coupler with 2 x 2.25" T-bolt clamps.
1 x 2.25" Aluminized Steel, 3.00" Radius, 90 Degree Mandrel Bend.
1 x Silicone Reducer, 90° bend - 3.0" to 2.25" with 1 x 2.25" T-bolt clamp & 1 x 3" T-bolt clamp.
.............. CXRACING #IC0022-BLK (or simply #IC0022 for non treated/bare aluminum) intercooler...................
cold side.intercooler to engine intake:
1 x Silicone Reducer, 90° bend - 3.0" to 2.25" with 1 x 2.25" T-bolt clamp & 1 x 3" T-bolt clamp.
1 x 2.25" Aluminized Steel, 3.00" Radius, 90 Degree Mandrel Bend.
1 x 2.25" Silicone Hump Hose Coupler with 2 x 2.25" T-bolt clamps.
1 x 2.25" Aluminized Steel, 3.00" Radius, 90 Degree Mandrel Bend.
1 x 2.25" Silicone Straight Coupler with 2 x 2.25" T-bolt clamps OR a weld with 1.5" section of 2.25" pipe.
1 x 2.25" Aluminized Steel, 3.00" Radius, 90 Degree Mandrel Bend.
1 x 2.25" Silicone Hump Hose Coupler with 2 x 2.25" T-bolt clamps.
into 093 ATS ('93 & '94 factory turbo) pressure chamber.


the install of this FMIC w/ 2nd gen banks wastegated sidewinder into the 9th gen truck,is very straight forward and takes just a few hours.
if a guy had a welder,no doubt the job wouldn't even take a whole day.

so i started by removing the grill.
attachment.php


then i removed the aux tru-cool trans cooler and the vertical rad brace (this is so the cooler can fit in close to the a/c condenser.) though the intercooler would slide up and in,in this truck without plow frame push plates,i went ahead and cut out the grill support T just the same as i had too,to install the cooler from the front into chip truck.i did this,so as to reduce air blockage as much as possible.which in turn raises the efficiency of of the cooler.
attachment.php


fab up some L-brackets out of some steel stock.

so now with the intercooler installed and mounted via the top.

attachment.php



next i put the 90° reducing boots on temporarily to mark where my 2.25" pipes wouldn't clear.
attachment.php

attachment.php



now,you can see the boots wont cut though over time due to flexing/vibration now that they're clear of rubbing the rad support.
such a nice solid rad support,kinda makes ya cringe to cut it up,but knowing what an intercooler does,makes that feeling go away real quick.
attachment.php

attachment.php


so i used a drill bit to ream around the inlet so the reducing pipe could slide into the pressure chamber,so i could fab up an inexpensive,quick and easy intercooler pressure chamber,using the factory 93/94 turbo/aftermarket ats unit.once the pipe fits,tap it down in past the o-ring groove for smooth air flow, jb weld to seal,then install a hump hose.
attachment.php

attachment.php


place the grill back on.i simply screwed on a thin vertical strip for the grills bottom screw.as you can see,i ran out of time.the trans cooler is just hanging up there.i now need to just shorten the lines,and mount it down lower.i'll be cutting the center holes out and installing the 9th gen bumper cutouts like seen on EB f150's and all 94-97 psd trucks.
(this bumper w/ center cutouts is what i replaced chips with too)
this will allow all the airflow i'll need to trans cooler without stacking too many coolers up in the grill area (which i know is too much from experience.)
attachment.php



so lastly,then i'll just install the pressure chamber,mark my pipes and take them up to the local welding shop and then install them.
then,it's back to the IP to turn up it's fuel screw.......all the way.;Really
attachment.php


stay tuned to channel 444 as the FMIC on log truck is to be concluded soon.

Damit.I dunno what's wrong with this sites pics after so long they just appear as X's! I hate that.

attachment.php


^ See that.Why you little SOB.:D


What will this do:
https://www.oilburners.net/attachments/10-jpg.49430/

OK then why not this:
10-jpg.49430


Oh sure.Well I'm not going through all that per pic.So it's like the sites "IMG" codes get cleared and reset after a period of time.That sucks.



1993 Ford F-Super Duty XLT - "Log Truck" (new to me truck-pic heavy)


Oh look.It's even worse in the tech article because you can't even click on the pics which are attached in the log truck thread.
The Install Of A FMIC w/ 2nd Gen Banks Wastegated Sidewinder Into 9th Gen Truck

Well anyway,click on the one in the log truck thread,sidewinded and you'll see how to do it.Since you've got my same turbo and 9th gen truck,you'll have just as easy a time of it as I did with my second truck.Just copy and go,it's stupid easy with this.:D
No wonder your lost,the tech article is only half as good without pics.The attached pic here shows your hole.

I bought a bag of square o-rings the right diameter for my intake gasket. Works great.

So, not to hijack but...

If I wanted to make an airbox with cold air ducted into it and use a CAT filter on my N/A I could just use something like that Spectre intake hat right?
