ENGINEERED TO OUTFLOW AND OUTCOOL

The new Banks Technicooler for the 2010-2012 RAM 6.7L is unlike any intercooler you've seen. We've brought cutting-edge fluid dynamics and engineering to a truck desperately in need of lower intake air temps and more boost. 2010-2012 RAM owners who tow know all too well that the stock intercooler is unable to reject heat efficiently. High intake air temps cause the truck's ECM to withdraw fuel and reduce power when you need it the most, like towing uphill during summer months. As intake air temps climb, the truck's ECM withdraws fuel in an attempt to cool the engine. Thanks to Banks lower intake air temps, your RAM will pull harder, longer. You'll feel improved throttle response, see lower intake and exhaust temps, and enjoy better fuel economy.

Banks massive intercooler upgrade for the 2010-2012 Cummins 6.7L uses a 3.25" thick core that is over twice as thick as the factory charge air cooler.

With an overall core volume of 2401.4 cubic inches, that's more than any competitive product tested including Mishimoto, Wagner, and AFE, and over 2x the volume of the stock unit.

The cast aluminum end takes (manifolds) with massive 4" inlets and outlets feature 30% more mass flow than competitive 3.5" end tanks, and a whopping 78% larger flow area than the stock charge air cooler.

All this results in lower intake temperatures under sustained load with over 4.3x less boost pressure loss across the system.

TESTED AND RATED FOR EXTREME PERFORMANCE

The 2010-2012 RAM was a packaging challenge. With height, width, and depth limited, testing had to be done to extract the maximum amount of performance without altering the factory radiator core support to accommodate a larger unit. This resulted in several innovations including a dual-thickness core and elliptical inlet and outlet.

Dual-Thickness Core
A well-engineered intercooler must perform a difficult balancing act between effectiveness and efficiency while allowing air to flow through it to cool the radiator and engine. It must cool the charge air better than stock (effectiveness) while maintaining boost pressure (efficiency). This is often easier said than done.

Increasing core thickness improves heat rejection but it can also result in a loss of boost pressure. Make it too thick, and it can prevent air from passing through and cooling the engine. Uneven distribution of airflow across the core can result in unwanted hot and cold zones. Combining two cores of different thickness solved this challenge. And for those with compound turbos, the core is pressure tested to withstand 1,000+ horsepower applications.

Elliptical Inlet and Outlet
We wanted to increase the diameter of the inlet and outlet but there there was so little space between the radiator core-support and frame that enlarging them to 4" in diameter simply wasn't possible without cutting the factory core support. The solution took months to perfect.

We engineered an elliptical inlet and outlet using NACA (known today as NASA) technology.  The transition from elliptical to round is handled by custom 5-ply silicone couplers. This results in lower intake air temperatures under sustained load with over 4.3x less boost pressure loss across the system. In other words, better sustained power when you need it the most. 

Specifications

Superior to Stock:

Everything about Banks Intercooler System is designed bigger and better. This upgrade kit includes a set of high-flow boost tubes and a Banks-designed intercooler solution.

The Banks Boost Tubes feature oversized mandrel-bent pipes matched to the increased performance design of the new intercooler. The Banks-designed intercooler has a thicker core with 95 percent greater volume to improve cooling. It also has large, high-efficiency all-aluminum end tanks and wide-open inlet/outlets for a 69 percent greater flow area. The Banks Intercooler dramatically increases the engine's cooling capacity and power potential by balancing a richer fuel mixture with cooler, denser, improved airflow.

Result: You get higher continuous power and more power at any exhaust gas temp (EGT), with better fuel economy, and lower EGTs. That's a truckload of benefits! It doesn't get any cooler than Techni-Cooler! Mounting hardware included.
