Got my intercooler today. Has the aluminum end tanks, along with all piping, couplers, clamps, and spider. All came from early 99 spider has 2" for the heads. Am I gonna need anything else to throw in on?

along with all piping

All what piping? The E99 pipes? They wont work...need to be cut and modified to fit or custom IC pipes. Didnt see if you had the spyder to turbo clamp from the E99, you also need that, and balls enough to cut the holes in your truck :thumb:

 

[hopkins.phillip]

Anyone else use E99 stuff wanna chime in on what all they had to do. I plan on cutting and beating, for $130 I couldn't pass it up

Just tellin ya what you WILL need, those pipes WONT work no matter how much you beat on em. Dang good price for the stuff you got!

Just cut one pipe a lil shorter it will work, do a test fit to see what you need to cut tho, the pipes will work, just a little cutting required, the turbo clamp is 18$ at Ford, and make sure you tell the parts guy its for a 98 build year but a 99 model. Sorry I don't have the part number off hand.

Thank 351, I knew it wasn't gonna be a bolt-on deal here, seems like nothing is for these trucks. But from all the research I've done from other sites other people have made the pipes work. When guy said it was a 99 and I seen the spider in the pics I knew I had to jump on it quick along with the all aluminum intercooler. Everything is in real good shape, even all couplers and T-bolt clamps look awesome

I have same set up, but with a 6.0 cooler, and so far I only paid for the spyder clamp to turbo, but I had to get it myself, its the only thing missing from my obs being a factory e99 motor anyway,, I have 120 cc splits stock, only thing to come out of cali that was any good imho

 

[hopkins.phillip]

I'm gonna break down the ford here in a few, gonna do the pedestal o-rings today before I do all my test fitting

Part number on the turbo clamp is F81Z8287DA, I just found my receipt from Ford for it.

 

[hopkins.phillip]

Seems there actually quit a few OBS trucks out thete using the same pipes I have. depending on where exactly i mount the intercooler, may get lucky and only have to shorten the driver side cold pipe

 

[351fifty]

Exactly, I just didn't know which one needed to be shortened. Good luck tho, let me know how much you shorten it for I put mine together

 

[hopkins.phillip]

Can do, I'm gonna try and do a whole write-up on it. It'll be Wednesday til my turbo to spyder clamp gets here along with a few other odds and ends. Gonna try and do it at a friends house. He's a phenomenal aluminum welder. Gonna try to make everything look factory along with the pipes

opcorn2: let me know how it goes. I'm tired of mine sitting in the closet. I just haven't done it cause I don't have the time to do all the test fitting. If someone can tell me exactly what and how much needs to be cut off, I'll get it put on.

The second was the install I did on my truck. No help on piping since I had custom ones. Hope these help you guys out.
