The Tick Performance Intercooler Completion kit is designed to get you started with installing and properly operating your billet air-to-water intercooler, including the 1,800hp intercooler for Holley intakes and the 1,900hp intercooler for Texas Speed intakes.
These kits include the necessary fittings for the size we recommend, as well as the appropriate Davies Craig water pump. These pumps are known throughout the industry as reliable and well-performing components that won't let you down on the track or on the street.
Included:
Intercooler Pumps - 40gpm Davies Craig Electric Water Pumps DC-8165 Part # TPDC-8165 (x1)
TP481316 Plug -16 ORB Male Slim Black (x2)
TP495119 Adapter -16 ORB Male to -16 AN Male Black (x4)
Options
The included fittings are straight, however, to help route your lines on the intercooler is a more eye pleasing direction, you can upgrade to two 90-degree swivel fittings. This can direct the lines in and out of the intercooler at 90-degrees, so you can plumb them parallel to the intercooler.
Not Included:
Lines, Hose Ends, and Tank
Lines
While we carry an array of lines and hose ends, every application differs. So, we've left that open to you to avoid selling you the wrong or unnecessary components. We recommend any lines the can stand a minimum of 350-degrees Fahrenheit. The pumps should be mounted close to your ice tank. Also, the feed line into the intercooler should be at the front of the intercooler, and the exit at the back. Therefore, the water flow isn't fighting against the force of your car accelerating.
Tank
Tick Performance recommends the 1,400hp intercooler be used with a 3-5 gallon ice tank, and any larger intercooler (1,800hp and 1,900hp intercoolers) use a 4-7 gallon ice tank. The system can be operated with only an ice tank that runs ice and water/coolant through the system. However, for street driving, you may add a heat exchanger to the system to help maintain more constant temperatures for longer use.
Mounting Bracket Kit
We are now including the option of a clock-able mounting bracket with hardware and an optional 90 degree tab that gives you the flexibility to mount or welded on your pump exactly where you need it!
Forced induction setups can vary wildly in terms of application.
