I know a few of you have done it. When I was installing the thing I was puzzled on why it was being mounted in between the condenser and the radiator.

Currently, I have a bolt over billet grille on my truck. So, the cool air has to go through the billet grille, through the stock honeycomb grille, through the condenser and then finally into the intercooler. Not to mention, at stop lights all the heat expelled from the condesor and radiator is surrounding the intercooler.

Besides the obvious...will relocating it drop IAT temps by an amount to justify relocating the I/C to the front? Or is it a waste of time? Im not experiencing any overheating problems, Im just thinking that logically IAT temps will drop with a relocation to the front.

Experiences? suggestions?

 

There is a guy selling a HE that mounts on the lower bumper where the bottom opening is, I have mine there as well. I think he wants 50 for it and its a larger core then what roush provides.

 

Did you notice drops in your IAT?

 

ive always had mine there so i couldn't tell you.

 

I mounted mine in front just turn it upside down and bolt it to the trans cooler then fabricate a upper mount and relocate the hoses. It isnt that hard.

 

Yes, you'll notice a drop in IATs, especially when the A/C is running since you're not getting heated air from the A/C HE blowing past the I/C HE. Just an FYI... the intercooler is in the part in the intake, the heat exchanger (what you are talking about) is the part out front.

 

I did mine just like Huitt did his its pretty simple here are some pics

 

Will flipping it upside down affect operation of the I/C? Or are you just simply making the inlet the outlet and vice versa?

 

op if that dont work ive got a he that is bigger than that one and mounts in the bumper and is right in the middle of the lower bumper opening il do 50 plus shipping pics are in classifieds for 04-08 f150 a couple pages back under misc supercharger parts

 

hey weazle hows things going

 

it will not effect the operation at all.

 

this is the HE i was talking about OP!

 

thanks for the shout out weazel trying to get rid of some of the left over parts from the other truck

 

Your heat exchanger, you got this off of ebay? and by chance who makes that one, and how much more fluid did it increase? I am looking at getting one like that in the next few weeks or so. thanks

 

your adding another or swapping it out?
