Any results from before and after Powerstroke IC instal YET?

I/C PTE

i love the PTE front mount it makes a world of difference over the stock one.

Has anyone actually flowed the Powerstroke to see if it has any gains over the stock IC? I know some guys on Turbododge.com did some flow testing and the numbers weren't that good (can't remember exact). As far as running in the 11's, you can do that with a stock IC

what's the main one to compare to ?? a stock I/c

It all would depend on your driving

In a 1/4 mile if they both flowed enough to support your hp level there wouldnt be a difference hardly but get out in the real world and start doing high gear pulls against supra's vipers ect... and see how quick the stock i/c gets hot and becomes un efficient .

I have been out on the road and ran cars including my buddy's gts viper till the car started feeling loose way up in o/d and can stop shortly after and my outlet pipe of the i/c is colder than outside temp.

now take a stock i/c car and go do some pulls like that and see if you can touch the uppipe afterwards.

we all know I run my car hard and I have not found the limits of the powerstroke i/c

running 10.90's at 127 mph at only 23# boost should show that it works well

other than cutting the car which most of the cutting can be done away with by shortning an alum tank one can anyone come up with a downside?? I cant

If I were to do it again I would find an alum tank one and shorten it...We done one for a buddy of mines GN and it fits real well.

I'm going to be on the hunt for an alum tank one after christmas to try and fit in the front of a 1st gen. RX7 that I'll be turbo 6 powering..

Ahhh.....No offence Red but don't you have a 70 turbo?



The way I see it, this IC on the PS truck only flows less than 400cfms. Our turbos flow 800, 900, some even 1,200 cfms. How efficient can it possible be at that level?

wouldnt matter how much the turbo flows it the i/c didnt flow enough to let it reach the motor would it..

I get 1# difference from inlet of i/c to outlet dont sound like its restricted to me.

oh what diesel you know of that dont flow more than 400 cfm??

twice the c.i and half the rpm with as much and in most cases more boost than we run

It is nothing to do with how much they flow..if that was the case then dont use an i/c it would make more power

not the case at all the intent of an i/c is a heat sink other words how efficient is it at absorbing heat from the compressed air...thats its job and showing that I can pull thru all the gears including o/d up to speeds well beyond what the car was designed for without the outlet of the i/c getting heated shows it is very efficient

When I installed my intercooler, I noticed right away that it was way snappier on the street, and stayed as cool as an ice cube.
No heating problems at all.
At the track, there wasn't a lot of difference from my ported stocker, mainly due to the cooling time I was allowed between runs.
On the street, heat soak was the real issue with the stocker, now it is just a memory............
I used full 3" piping from the stock turbo right to the throttle body( I know, overkill), but lag isn't too bad at all. I can hardly wait to get a T-60 on there to push some air through this thing!

I have a cartech front mount, simply bolt in, no cutting or hacking the car. If your car is worth alot to you dont hack it. spend the extra money and get a correct one for it. If you car is not worth that much to you buy yourself a intercooler off of a dodge ram cummins, it is alot bigger than a ford power choke and a lot taller. Cut the front of the hood out so it will fit and both the headlights. Run you a dune buggy style head lite on the top of the bumper and you should get good performace out of it. After all 4 inches will be sticking above the hood.

I will stick with my correct fitting no cutting .02 psi drop across the core intercooler! 899.00 dollars well spent!

thanks

Granted that these trucks run ALOT more boost than we do (I've seen 60psi, I raced one with 45psi), but the size of their turbos are tiny.

I mean, we are talking about a truck with a 450+ c.i. motor that only make about 275hp or less ("stock!").

I bearly race the car on the street, so that is not the issue. It's been just a weekend car for the past 4 months.

Better time slips is what I'm focused on.

Nope it's 444 CID, My little 6 cly dodge makes than much. :-0
