Solve the biggest factory limitation of the 1994–1997 "Old Body Style" (OBS) Ford Super Duty: the complete absence of a charge air cooler. Straight from the factory, the OBS 7.3L routes hot, uncooled compressed air directly from the turbocharger into the intake plenums. This lack of cooling spikes Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs), degrades air density, limits towing performance, and wastes fuel.

The Banks Power Techni-Cooler Intercooler System (Part # 25970) is the premier engineered charge-air cooling upgrade designed specifically to convert non-intercooled OBS trucks. Featuring an oversized all-aluminum core, high-efficiency cast end tanks, mandrel-bent 3-inch boost tubes, and Banks’ proprietary Twin-Ram manifold inlet assembly, this complete kit dramatically increases oxygen density. The result is higher continuous duty power, significantly cooler EGTs, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced smoke under load.

Key Performance Benefits

• Drastic EGT Reduction: Packs dense, cold air into the cylinders, radically dropping exhaust temperatures while towing, hauling heavy payloads, or running steep highway grades.

• 18% Increase in Flow Volume: Engineered with large, unrestricted inlets and outlets to minimize boost pressure loss across the core and maximize volumetric efficiency.

• Banks Twin-Ram Intake Manifold: Replaces the uneven factory Y-pipe to balance airflow distribution symmetrically between both cylinder heads, ensuring equal cylinder combustion and smoother power output.

• Heavy-Duty All-Aluminum Construction: Built with rugged, custom-machined cast aluminum end tanks that will never crack, leak, or blow apart under high boost levels like factory plastic tanks.

• Mandrel-Bent 3" Boost Tubes: Constant-diameter 3-inch hot and cold side pipes ensure laminar, unrestricted airflow straight from the turbo to the plenums.

• Emissions Compliant: 50-State Legal under CARB EO # D-161-82, making it street-legal nationwide.
