My new A2W Intercooler
After a heat wave we had here not so long ago I decided to pull the trigger on doing an intercooler for my setup. Whipple never made one for my kit so I decided to make one work. I gathered what I needed and brought my truck over to Synergy and let Rick work his magic. Many thanks to Rick for the great job he did on the intercooler and my pre-blower cross pipe.
Setup:
A2W Intercooler - core size: 10"x4.5"x4.5"
Heat exchanger - core size: 12"x24"x1"
Pump - Johnson CM30P7-1
Hoses - 3/4" ID
Reservoir - Magnacharger Radix tank
- Test fitted and mounted the heat exchanger first then brought the truck to Synergy.
- Before Intercooler
- Pics of the intercooler mounted and the pre-blower intake tube.
- Finished up mounting the tank, pump, routing the hoses and wiring.

I warmed up the truck to operating temp and went for a 20 min test drive. I just cruised around just barely going into boost. I'm going to have Rick do some tuning before I do any WOT runs.
Outside temp was 60*F (thats what my mirror said). Before the intercooler at this outside temp my IAT's were around 140*F (cruising). Now with the intercooler my IAT's never went above 80*F (cruising). When I got back and just idled for a couple of minutes at my house the temps went up to to 86*F without the e-fans on.
These are just preliminary results, can't wait to see what the IATs are during WOT.
