this is what is known as an inner cooler.
and with it being mounted in the front, its a FRONT MOUNTED INNER COOLER.
passionately known as a FMIC

Oyez ... Oyez ... Verrrry nice indeed!! I approve

Gonna be interesting to see what you come up with for an air intake......

i welded a 2" piece of aluminum pipe into the turbo hat.
the discharge tube is 2" as well
i used 2 1/4" stainless tubing, i used 2 U-bends with 10" legs, i think they were 6" radius mandrel bends.
i also used 4' of 2 1/4" straight pipe, also stainless.

2.25 to 3" 90 * bends to go into the inner cooler.

took me about 3-4 hours to fab and weld up... but i was also doing other things inbetween.
an hour to mount, and called it done.

i wish i would have clearenced the radiator support cleaner, but i wasnt messing with tryin to hole saw it.

Guys gotta have something to do while he's stuck at work not working on his own truck. [emoji6]

No plumbing parts... good job! Those are the good clamps too, sold as "T-Bolt"

Dunno how many worm screw ones I blew up before I found those.

Not to be a ****** but it's customary to have "double hump" connectors on long runs of pipe to dampen engine vibrations/flex.

hmmmmm, sounds like i need to make another order...

i shook them, and they have a fair amount of movement...

my 01 dont have those tho....

tjhose pipes look slick! when I finally get a tig id like to make some bent pipes like that too. I got friggin 8 boots on my setup lol..16 clamps!!!

and yes that clamp thing you are referring to is a T bolt clamp. lots of variations of these, clampco makes some quality pieces, much much nicer than that ebay stuff, but theyre 10 bucks a pop!! someone is selling apparantly genuine clampcos on ebay out of cali for 2.65 a pop, killer deal i fthey are real.

your 01..i know the factory 06 cooler had double hump connectors at the intercooler itself. Maybe yours does too? speaking of which i lost one of the spring clamps for the bellows!...hope it holds lol

i was just being a smartass with the descriptions in post 211.
well intake tube is done. im gonna polish it up and show yall what the rest will look like when im done
may change the set up tho, but then again it fits perfect with my cowl hood.

My 2009 6.4 had them on both ends of the intercooler. The SRT4 had one on a particularly long run of pipe.

Regular straight boots just don't like flexing in the ways an engine wiggles. You don't want the pipes too rigidly mounted, but not flopping. You can run them straight (and it may be just fine) but periodically check them for wear where the pipe ends inside of it. It can slowly tear up das boot.

Siliconeintakes.com has buckets of intake elbows, bits, clamps, tubes, etc etc

 

[IDIoit]

i lied.
i didnt get it all the way polished.
out of 40 grit, out of white roushe.
its done for now.
the filter sits perfect with the cowl hood.
gonna make a bottom air catch for it later.
and a mount for the front.

whats your thoughts?

May want to secure the filter end to a valvecover bolt. Dont want it floppin and getting into the belt.

 

[riotwarrior]

time to hit the beach!

Where U get dat?

That's on the to do list!
I have some 316 SS. Filler rod holding it in place now.

no NOTICABLE gain with this set up.
Chugging down the freeway just now at 80 mph, EGTs were steady at 850
Going up a grade 3/4 throttle, she went up to 1050, if I peg it, she'll skyrocket into the red.

Guess I'm still drivin by pyro!
Wooded up the grade max psi I see is 10.
That's 3 pounds less than without the FMIC

i was slightly worried about my temp, but no NOTICABLE raise in temp from before.
She don't run any different.

the innercooler? I got it from speed daddy.com
