Weight - Stock IC vs A2A

Has anyone weighed the entire stock IC system and a A2A (RPM/McCoy) system?

Resovior, CAC unit with pump, metal line/3/4 hose, brackets for resovior, fluid... everything that you need to have it on the truck

vs.

Piping, CAC unit, silicon hose, clamps, etc.



Be interested on the weight savings. I know its not going to be major, but any sort of weight lose is good :tup: Ive already got A2A, but was curious on how much the difference was between the 2.

Re: Weight - Stock IC vs A2A

If no one beats me to it, I'll weigh it all (including stock & large ATR upper ic) when I get home. I know the stock upper CAC holds 24 oz of liquid and weighs 5.1 lbs dry and the high flow upper IC holds 72 oz and weighs 10.0 lbs dry. The lower cche can't weigh much, water weighs about 8 lbs/gallon, and the brackets make as much difference as whether or not you've got condoms in your wallet.

But I'll drain my system when I get home and measure the coolant that comes out and weigh each piece.

Thanks Hood.

I can already see with the weights you gave there probably is going to be a big difference between stock and A2A.

Kinda leads to the question... when changing to A2A, is the weight savings a factor in performance, and if so, how much?

Re: Weight - Stock IC vs A2A

I would think that the plumbing on the A-A will make up for the weight savings from not using water or an upper IC. The intercooler itself is also bigger than the stock one. I have the RPM A-A sitting here(no scale sorry) and it feels as heavy as my old IC. But I dont have it sitting here anymore since its now sold so its hard to compare from memory.

Stock intercooler system holds 76 oz of liquid with 3/4 hose routed via fender.
Stock intercooler system with ATR upper IC holds 128 oz of liquid with 3/4 hose routed via fender.

So, with the ATR upper IC, your at 10 lbs (upper IC) + 8 lbs (gallon of water) + whatever the lower CCHE weighs (haven't weighed it yet, sorry) + about 3 lbs for brackets, hose, and pump.

With the stock upper IC, your at 5 lbs (upper IC) + 5 lbs (over 1/2 gallon of water) + the lower CCHE + about 3 lbs for brackets, hose, and pump.

I'd say a safe bet is around 30-35 lbs with the ATR upper IC, or 23-28 lbs with the stock upper IC.

I'll get actual weights tomorrow hopefully.

If you use aluminum pipes and intercooler they will be very light.
