Thumbnail Filmstrip of 1994-1997 7.3L OBS Powerstroke Intercooler Kit Atlas 179-9497 Images
The OBS Ford 7.3 Powerstroke 1994-1997 did not come with a factory mount intercooler system. Instead Ford decided that the turbo would be sufficient with the larger 1.15 turbo turbine housing. Although it probably helped out some it did not cure EGT problems for a modified truck.
Installing the Atlas Diesel OBS Intercooler Kit will get you lower EGT's, better fuel economy and more power. Cooling the intake charge air will improve oxygen availability. So the more oxygen with the cooler air equals more burned fuel and less black smoke.
This kit is a bolt on design. Comes with brackets for the intercooler, power steering cooler and AC Condenser.
Features:
- Bar & Plate Design
- 3" Aluminum Piping
- Adds 20 HP & 40 Ft Lbs. to a stock truck (more if modified)
- All Mounting Hardware
- Direct Fit Bolt On (Some trimming is required)
- 3" Inlet and 3" Outlet
- Overall Size 31"x 18"x 4"
- Core Size 24" x 18" x 4"
Does not fit E-Series. Boots are black in color.

Does it clamp up to a KC turbo stage 1?

Davis (Bottom) | June 11th, 2023
Had kit for to years the first year the bottom two Brackets Broke for the intercooler so the top bracket was the only one holding it up I had to make two new brackets for the bottom. I bought a kc stage two turbo no matter how tight you get the clamps. The piping kept blowing apart.

Good product and works good. The top intercooler mounting bracket did not fit with the holes on the intercooler so had to fab my own. None of the bolts came in the kit so had to use my own. I probably looked like a crazy person looking for them. Had problems with alignment off the turbo had to put a slight bend in it. Happy with it in the end but needs some slight improvement.
