im in the process of pickin up a 6.5 diesel, im not really going to mod the truck other than the harmonic balancer, and instant heat gp's and a new gp controller. its a 93 so i dont have to do the pmd. but i was wondering if i can modify it to do a dmax intercooler, if anyone has done it let me know. thanks:rockin
Do some research on the net and I am sure you can find an inter cooler for this rig. I don't know about using a dmax cooler, I would guess that it would be overkill anyhow.
IMO a cummins ic would work alot better for ya. the d-max ic is huge i had to cut like 3/4s of my core support up for it to fit. if u decide to go with a dmax ic i can give ya pics of all that has to be cut an what not
not sure on what will be the cheapest but iirc you have to turn your top intake hat around so it points to the driver side an itll take alot of cutting an test fitting. ive seen a couple intercoolers mounted on imports with exhaust flex pipe for the charge tubes
It can be done. I'm swapping a dmax into my 97, fitting the ic just needed some cutting on the rad support, but you would need to use the dmax radiator and fan shroud the way mine is set up. Not really an issue, they are almost the same, I think the air bleed off to the surge tank is in a different position. Just $$
I forgot to take pics when I did it, and its all bolted up, sorry.
If thats the case you modded the Rad support harder than I did. I only cut out two pieces, mounted the IC where the rad was, just cut to fit width wise, and the rad was mounted on the IC. I have 1 in between the fan and the rad, just enough to get the fan off without taking the rad and IC out.
Honestly, I'd be interested to see how you did yours. I went with the easiest route possible for my setup.
heres a link to my build.this will work with a 6.5 you just have to figure out the ic piping
