Techni-Cooler® Intercooler System

Superior to stock, everything about Banks Techni-Cooler Intercooler system is bigger. It includes mandrel-bent 3.5" high-flow boost tubes ... large, high-efficiency all-aluminum end tanks instead of the wimpy stock plastic ones that can rupture under high-boost conditions ... a wide-open inlet and outlet ... a 19% thicker core area with a 21% improvement in volume ... and a colossal super-flow High-Ram intake manifold.

Techni-Cooler dramatically increases the cooling capacity by balancing the richer fuel mixture with greater airflow and cooler, denser air. Denser air has more oxygen, which improves combustion as well as engine efficiency. Result: higher continuous power and more power at any exhaust gas temp (EGT), better fuel economy and lower EGTs. That's a truckload of benefits! Banks Techni-Cooler delivers the maximum reduction in boost air temperature with a minimal loss of boost pressure. It doesn't get any cooler than Techni-Cooler! Mounting hardware included.

Included with the Techni-Cooler system is the Banks High-Ram. Notice how cramped and angular the stock inlet is compared to Banks’ larger, streamlined cast-metal intake.

6.0L Techni-Cooler & Ram-Air

2010-04-01

I just wanted to send a quick note concerning the recent purchases for my 2004 Ford F350 6.0 Power Stroke. I purchased the Banks Ram Air Intake (42155) and the Banks Techni-Cooler Intercooler (25974).

I chose Banks for these purchases because of my past experience with Banks products:
- 1990 Ford 7.5L V8 - Stinger Exhaust and later, the TorqueTube Manifolds
- 2004 Ford (current truck) with the Banks Turbo-Back exhaust.

After reviewing the online owner's instruction manuals, I decided to do the install myself. I used the online instructions to perform the removal portion of the install - and was ready for the remainder of the installation when the parts arrived. I must say that the installation instructions were right on the mark - just follow the step-by-step instructions. The instructions were very well written and were complemented nicely with the photographs.

The quality of the hardware and parts were typical of Banks. I like the way the boost tubes are manufactured with the end ridge to prevent blown hoses. The Ram Air is great - too bad the Ford air filter didn't install as easily as the Banks!

The performance improvements are great. I really got on it to test the install - everything works great. I am looking forward to towing the trailer.
