Robt--

No, I have not gained any power using the intercooler but I do have a small reduction in EGT which is what I wanted.

I have already set my maximum fuel delivery somewhat higher than the C223T and this tends to run both EGT and coolant temperature up more than I am comfortable with when I am on the throttle hard.

But, if you have a stock C223T and it does not have a cooling problem you could take advantage of the increased (and cooler)air charge available with an intercooler by turning your maximum fuel up a bit. This will give more hp. And maybe smoke if you go too far.

Building the intercooler was a big project. Cut the plastic manifolds from the Saab 9000 cooler and fabricated aluminum ones with tubes to fit thru the P'up front bulkhead.

Then I found that I needed to move the bumper forward 1/2 inch and the grill forward 3/4 inch. The truck looks just a tad wierd now but it all went together OK. Perhaps there is more space available in the Trooper.

If anyone would like some photos I can email them to you. I would post a couple but do not have a web host. Maybe someone can recommend a host?
