The Tick Performance Intercooler Completion kit is designed to get you started with installing and properly operating your billet air-to-water intercooler. These kits are built to work with either our 1,800hp intercooler for Holley intakes or the 1,900hp intercooler for Texas Speed intakes. This dual inlet/dual exit maximizes the water flow through the intercooler by splitting it with a Y distribution block and circulating the water through all four openings in the intercooler. This kit allows for an even distribution of the water flow which will maximize your intercoolers potential. We also offer a single feed/single exit for better plumbing options and less lines.
These kits include the necessary fittings for the size we recommend, as well as the appropriate Davies Craig water pump.
Our completion kits include the fittings and pumps we recommend. it does not include the lines, hose ends, and tank, as those will likely change depending on your application. Our intent is to get you going in the right direction and simplify the installation.
Included:

Options
The included fittings are straight, however, to help route your lines on the intercooler in a more eye pleasing direction, you can upgrade to the 90-degree swivel fittings. These 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 avoid selling you 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.
