Hey guy I have a non ic first gen. and I have found a deal on a factory first gen intercooler and its piping off a 93. I was curious as to if it was worth swapping. Is it worth the time and cutting? Will it make a noticeable difference in performance? Or should I just stick with the non ic? My truck is pretty much stock and is daily driven rarely towing anything.
Thanks
Joel

I would not recommend it if it was free. its undersized with small tubes. what you want is either a powerstroke or 2nd gen intercooler and 3" tubes, along with either a 12v or 24v 2nd gen air horn.

From None Inner cooled to IC yes if it;s a good deal go for it . You will Notice a difference not sure how much but being you haver bigger injector's then a IC truck it should be better because you have more fuel flow .

Have any plans for later mods? It doesnt take much to make a non ic truck get hot. Just a denny t and some timing id get almost 1500*.

A turbo swap would be a good to do also.

I was wanting to run maybe an hx40 or a small HP set of twins. Nothing crazy. And the guy is asking $100 for piping and cooler? I'm not even sure how good of a deal that is

My plan was to put a second gen intercooler in but once I got it and tried fitting it up it was way to thick. And I really didn't want to cut into my grill. And since my truck still has ac I don't wanna loose that either. So with all that being said. Will a power stroke intercooler work without having to cut the grill or lose my ac? Also what year stroker cooler are most ofyou guys running?

Ive done the 2nd gen intercooler swap and i think the hx35 helped more than that did. Just my opinion would be upgrade the turbo instead

Well I purchased the first gen intercooler and now I have another question. Has anyone used the non intercooled core support and used the 1st gen intercooler? will the 1st gen intercooler fit around the non intercooled radiator and fan shroud?

Only with way more trouble than you anticipated. The radiator winds up being slightlly relocated. I believe orginal Non IC was tank at top and IC has tank on side and crossflow rad. Trouble!!!!!

Agreed! ^^^ it's gonna take some time, cutting, and trouble

well at the moment my plan is to just buy the radiator and core support off the guy and swap it. that way there is no cutting or moving the radiator. itll be like it came intercooled from the factory
