Phoenix33759 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 This may sound like a dumb question.... Where is the intercooler on the radix kit? is it water to air, air to air. where does it mount? any pictures installed? Here is why i ask. My daily driver has a magnacharger/eaton on it and is non-intercooled. I am looking to make a custom intercooler set-up, but am not familiar with the intercooler set-up on the magnacharger kit. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdivr Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 On the intercooled unit, you have to replace the whole intake manifold. Magnuson has a beautiful blower/manifold that circulates water thru it for the intercooling effect. I don't really think you can make a non intercooled unit intercooled. I guess you could, if you had the time, and money to experiment. The intercooled Magnuson is a fantastic piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSplaytoy Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 The intercooler is mounted in the very front and is air to water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBSS Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 The intercooler is mounted in the very front and is air to water. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, that is the heat exchanger you are talking about. The intercooler is right under the Radix itself, and cools the air charge before it goes into the motor. Intercooler (under the Radix): Heat Exchanger (looks like aftermarket to me): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04CHASE Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 where did you put the trany cooler nigthshift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 The tranny cooler is still in that pic, it's located behind the big heat exchanger. If you look, you can see the two lines coming up to it toward the middle. Aftermarket brackets are available to flip the h/e down into the lower valence opening, therefore allowing install of bigger tranny coolers, or at least better airflow for the stock tranny cooler.

yorgog Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Do you know who offers the bracket to move the intercooler down. My trany temp has been going up since I put the heat exchanger in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix33759 Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Thaks for the pictures and explanation. it would have to be part of the blower to make it work. Thanks guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the pieces used on the JGP trucks, so they may have them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
