What does a intercooler do on a Cummins?
What does a intercooler do on a Cummins?
Intercoolers are used to cool the hot compressed air charge coming from the turbocharger. Air is compressed in the turbo, travels through the intercooler where the temperature is reduced, and then passes into the intake manifold.
What is a water to air intercooler?
A Water to Air Intercooler is one where the exchange of heat occurs between water and air. Water is pumped through the intercooler so that the heat from your charge pipes is transferred to the water. This type of set-up can be mounted anywhere, and just needs to have water plumbed to it.
What’s the difference between 89 and 93 Cummins?
The ’89-’91 engines were non-intercooled and came with slightly different pistons, injectors, turbos and transmissions (TF727 vs. A518) than ’91.5-’93 versions. Considerable money can be saved or spent elsewhere once the clutch has been upgraded in trucks with manual transmissions.
What kind of torque converter do I need for a 89 Cummins?
For bigger budgets, it’s worth throwing a solid torque converter at the TorqueFlite 727 (’89-‘91) or A518 automatic (’91.5-‘93) behind the Cummins. This heavy-duty, single disc, non-lockup converter from Goerend Transmission features stock stall speed for lighting smaller turbos.
What makes a 5.9L engine better than a 91.5?
Early, non-intercooled 5.9L pistons (’89-‘91) are said to be stronger than later versions due to the need to stand up to higher in-cylinder heat. The piston bowl’s geometry was altered to enhance intake swirl beginning with intercooled, ’91.5 engines.
What kind of Turbo does a Cummins 5.9L have?
A fixed geometry, journal bearing Holset H1C model turbocharger graced all ’89-’93 5.9Ls, but there were a few variances throughout the engine’s production run. Most notably, there were turbine (exhaust) housing and compressor wheel differences.
What’s the difference between a 91 and 93 Cummins?
Gains of 30rwhp can be seen with this 30-minute turbo upgrade, along with a 100 to 200 degree drop in EGT. For bigger budgets, it’s worth throwing a solid torque converter at the TorqueFlite 727 (’89-‘91) or A518 automatic (’91.5-‘93) behind the Cummins.

How many liters per minute does a Cummins injector do?
Along with the addition of a higher flowing turbocharger, these injectors can push your first-gen into the 400rwhp zone. Available from Dynomite Diesel Products, one of the most trusted names in Cummins injector performance, they flow 55 liters per minute (LPM).
What kind of Turbo do I need for 5.9 Cummins?
To further improve airflow both in and out of the first-gen 5.9L Cummins, it’s hard to beat the performance a BorgWarner S300 turbocharger provides. For affordability and substantially improved top-end flow, the Super Stock 62/71/14 from High Tech Turbo is a sound, bang-for-your-buck option.
