The Daytona: September 15, 2006
by Russ Knize on Sep.15, 2006, under Daytona
So a while back I picked-up a Relentless Performance “Triple-Core” intercooler (three stock cores welded together in parallel). The photo on the left shows (from the top down) the Spearco “1080” that is sold by a few of the vendors, the RP Triple-Core, and the early Dodge Conquest intercooler that I used in my Shadow for several years. I finally got it and all the plumbing fitted. It just fits behind the early Daytona fascia after some trimming to the plastic structure. I wanted the plumbing to fit without having to move the radiator or the battery. The intercooler pipes are all 2.25″ T304 stainless steel (one U-bend, one U/J-bend, and a 45 degree bend). The silicone couplers are from Silicone Intakes, which is by far the cheapest I have found. I chose 2.25″ pipes because the intercooler and airbox had 2.25″ connections and that was the largest that would squeeze between the battery and the radiator. The only change I had to make was I switched to a P-body coolant overflow tank to give me the gap next to the radiator fill neck.
