Ricer intercoolers??

[scheid6996]

I see ricer intercoolers and pipeing on ebay for cheep, brand new stuff, 24x12x3, for like $100 and the tubing foe like $80 is it worth trying to make that work and saving the money?

I just ordered the 3 inch tubing kit with 6 90 degree bends and the blue connector hoses. Dont get the kit with hoses, use something good they will work but I will be carrying spares, kinda stilff and cheap feeling. Tubing looks great, shiny polished aluminum

Usually the import IC's are on the small side. Maybe if you could find a way to stack 2 or 3 of them in parallel you might be onto somethin

There's a lot more than just the size to consider. If you watch those auctions, you'll see that some are worth more than others. There's a good reason for that. Those cheapies are less effcient and more restrictive. Watch for HKS and Spearco. Just a couple of better brands.

you should be able to get diesel take offs for a little over $100.

I also looked into this, I gave a dealer all my info, (engine size, rpm range) and I was told that our trucks require an intercooler with around 1000cfm of airflow. I plan to buy one myself and piece it together, I located on on Ebay that would fit in my bumper opening. I would check to see if they know the cfm rating before you buy it.

measure of air flow into and out of an engine (CFM = CID x RPM x VE ÷ 3456).
The factory turbo has a VE of 1.2 or so figure a better flowing intake and bigger downpipe and exhaust I guesstimated it at 1.4 . 444 CIDx 3300Rpmx1.4divided by 3456= 593 cfm I tow at 2300 in Od so this is only 413 CFM and might get her up to 3000 if I have to come out of Od on a grade. So I was thinking a IC in the 600 Cfm range would be all I need ? Is my Ve estimate off or somthing else wrong with this formula ? Seems kinda low but the math makes sence?

that's gotta be the first time i've seen someone put some math to the IC question.

ya no kiding, is he right tho?

He did the math so quickly I bet it is right on or close, I ask my son about some of his calculations and he gives me the look, he is going to college for chemical engineering.
I bought a 6.0 IC on ebay for 134 plus 24 for shipping and the guy sent the tubes also . It looks brand new.
