looks like ill be going with a GN intercooler for cost reasons, right now im just gathering information. but just wondering where would be a good spot for it? the measurements are:

19 inches at the widest point across the face of the core. 10 inches in vertical height across the core. the height does not include the height of the inlet and outlet piping which is approximately 6 inches greater than the core height. The intercoller is just under 4 inches in thickness


ill be getting bigger inlets welded on as it seems the stock ones are restrictive. just wondering where would be a good spot for it? front mount? im worried about overheating issues, ill also be keeping the AC condensor. has anyone done this? any information would be helpful. the blower is a s trim, i was told that the GN intercooler should be fine up to 12 psi, personally i dont want to go over 10 psi, most likely ill be running 6 psi. thanks for you help

 

no one knows?

 

i guess ill be the first to do so then

 

get 2 and have them welded togeather, i'd one would be abit restritive

 

well the turbo buick guys run up to 28 psi on them, the inlets are the part that get restrictive so ill be swappign those out and the most boost id ever want is 8-10. the gn intercooler has about 2-3 psi drop so i should see 6-7 psi of boost. hopefully anyways.

 

a wize guy ehhh ........................

your running less boost but moveing more air


I say go for it and if it 's a cork, do what i said in last post

 

well after its all done ill let everyone know how it works. since no ones done it here. but its very cost effective, got the intercooler with air scoop for 80 bucks!

 

$80 ............

 

by a ford durmax intercooler. It has 3 inch intake and exhasut and is about 20 times lasger them the gn intercooler. THis is aboout 150 on ebay. Its a really good cheap upgrade.
Just put it in front of you radiator thats what my freind did on this 3rd gen.
He went from 11' to high 10s just with the Large intercooler.

hmmm, does he still have the ac condensor though? i want to keep mine and need to clear it, ill look into it, but it may be overkill for my application, what boost is he running? i dont ever plan on goig higher then 9 or 10 psi and im gonna start off at 6, and if im happy with 6 psi ill stick with it. what year duramax intercooler? the newer ones?

 

durmax is CHEVY

you mean flower choker ...power stroke

 

The Ford Cummins is an excellent choice .

Do you have a pic of the Grand National IC? Isn't it bottom fed (air) and mounted on the front pass side of the engine on the Grand Nat'ls?

If you can't post it would you please email it to me? rtr350@yahoo.com
