What pump are you using?

This will be for my 2000 Dakota (not the turbo truck) that has a small blower on it. I want to install and air to water intercooler and have no room under the hood for the tank but there is plenty of space under the chassis. Yes, I know I won't be able to easily add/change the fluid in the tank, but I don't care as it won't be a track burner anyway.

Also, thoughts about a few heat exchangers in line? I have one from a Lightning and the stock one from my E. Neither one will be in a place that will get a lot of fresh air due to room.

Shardul, I take it you are suggesting I see what pump they sell? I looked and it is the Bosch pump that we all upgrade to. Thanks!

With a powerdyne blower? Are you sure it can blow enough air into one side of an intercooler that will make it all the way through the core

Shardul, what are you thoughts about running multiple heat exchangers in line? I know that has been brought up on our cars before but I never found if it really helps.

Sir Boost: lol, lot's of people knock that blower and with maybe, unfair reasons. This blower is not going to go on something and make 600 hp. However, it gave me a 100 rwhp increase on my stock 5.9 motor on 6.5 lbs of boost. I am sending it in to get the upgraded CNC impeller which will bring boost in 500 rpms quicker and with 2 lbs more boost without changing the impeller speed. While I am at it, the current pulley on the blower is a 5 rib one and my belt system on the motor is a 6 rib one, so I will opt for a slightly smaller pulley with the 6 rib design to turn the blower a bit faster and give me about 10 lbs of boost. At that boost rate, I want to install the air to water intercooler, which I bought with the blower, just never put on for such low boost at that time.

So for what I want, (and paid $800 for the blower/intercooler stuff), it works perfect!

Nice trucks ? I was just giving ya a hard time. I don't know much about the Powerdynes really, are they still belt drives inside? I just remember people getting more power from port work on the heads and a cam upgrade then what a powerdyne gave, and hat was before the internal belt broke and it needed repair.

SirBoost, I know you were teasing..I was actually laughing when I read your post!

If you didn't install the upgraded ceramic bearings and kevlar belt, yes, the blower from the factory is pretty useless. The good thing about these blowers if you want only about 100-150 rwhp, and you do the upgrades, they are oil-less for easy install and quiet since belt driven!

I remember when I was 17 , my friend and I made a mount out of angle iron and tried to hook up a head unit from a Kirby vaccum cleaner to my 4cylinder S10 with a V belt I was inspired by the Powerdynes that the mustangs were running around with
