also wondering what exactly i will need to intercool my 2.5? Can i just ghetto rig one home depot style or do i need the whole assemble (fan, etc?)

 

Just check out the links I listed in the other thread, those places sell intercooler kits for the non-intercooled cars/engines.

 

find a donor car and use the intercooler from it... i believe the turbo II 2.2l were IC...

 

Yep, the Turbo II's and III's are both intercooled cars.

 

yeah, the turbo II and III had radiators with intercoolers integrated into the same piece

 

They are completely seperate pieces, not one single piece. They are both mounted side by side up front in the opening for the radiator and use a shorter radiator to make room for the intercooler. Having the intercooler right next to the radiator is far from the best idea since the heat will transfer from the radiator to the intercooler causing the intercooler to be far less effective than what it should or could be. This is still better than Ford and Subaru, they mount their intercoolers on top of the engine itself and using hood scoops to try and cool the air going through the intercooler.

 

The year you have will determine if you need a TII or TIII setup. For example, to have it bolt up on my 92, I needed a TIII setup. An 89 with do fine with the very common TII setup.

 

Well here is what is going to be needed..please follow this..

87-89 Daytona Shelby Z/Shelby
they use the same setup small rad and intercooler combo..
90-93 Daytona Shelby/ IROC R/T
used a different setup due to the rad support being redesigned..

Also you need the hoses if you can get the stock factory ones.. if not go visit a diesel shop and grab some hose.

Another thing is to check out www.thedodgegarage.com and check out the intercooler ID's which ones are the best and the ones to avoid
at all cost.. outside of that email me at turbobearcat@yahoo.com

I have an 87-89 style for sale and I know of a guy in IL that has the newer style.
