This new "quad pass intercooler" is the one that will be used on my engine. I am looking forward to it.

 

I'm going to just email Laminova/Opcon and get an answer and post it here showing that .

Also, our pumps are already centrifugal and I don't see any other pump rated higher than our 7gpm (26L/m). Also...I'm not getting this whole laminova core thing. The pump is required and that is why GM gave us pumps.

As far as the lining...do you add an extra lining or something for increased cooling? Sounds like what Lamniova says on their site already...

And here is the bosch pump...

 

interesting info...

 

I have officially gone cross-eyed...

 

me too.

 

got a link to some more info or pics yet? is it on your sitE?

 

^^^^^ ^^^^^

 

so when is this actually available and have dyno gains been proven?

 

hmmmm sarcasm much.... hahahaha

 

so does this intake manifold have 4 EXTRA laminovas? or does it still only have the normal amount... is that what you mean by quad pass? add 4 more 'special' laminovas? I think im lost...

 

With the temp drops, how much timing will we probably be able to add with 94 octane?

 

It should be "Dual Pass Intake Manifold." 4 pass=# of times the flow of coolant passes through the cores, in which you already have one...from the factory. It's Dual pass because the 4 cores are split up into two seperate flows and then from there each flow goes through 2 (dual) cores.

 

As a paying vendor, we won't entertain argumentative debates about our products with people who post nonsensical misinformation. We simply have no time for idiocy. I'm sure the mods will attend to this swiftly. (next post will address properly proposed questions)

 

i got the control arm bushings and the intense tranny mounts and i have no wheel hop.

 

at least you guys acted like pro's....not like a little kid like most the people on here seem to be doing.

i how ever would like to see a digram and such about this becase i am semi-lost but this with my 2 H/E's would do wonders for AIT2'S!

 

ok man...

 

JBP would like to address all the pertaining questions/concerns with the 4-pass/ It would seem the most confusing issue for prospective customers who are trying to cut through the nonsense are the symantics of a 4-pass intercooler.

- Stock is a Single Inlet, Serial Path, 4-Pass Intercooler
- Ours is a Dual Inlet, Parallel Path, 4-Pass Intercooler

The second issue is real world testing:

- Current results are purely methodological in nature and present using thermal calculations.

We hope to have testing installed and completed ASAP.


Any other real issues, questions, please feel free to bring up.

edit: I have about 10 more minutes before I have to log off.. Please address issues immediately, or call us up if you don't understand anything with our Intercooler.

 

Perhaps I was a bit harsh with the race fuel comment. Here's a properly addressed question:

Dear Sir or Mam,
I have a questions about a proposed componet for my vehicle. I am wondering the differences between your 4-pass intercooler and upgraded intercooler cores. From my understanding, the stock system is a 4 pass setup and the intercooler already used specially designed Laminova cores on top of a 7GPM intercooler pump. What exactly is the difference between your setup and the stock setup.

Thanks for your time, I am sure that you are busy designing quality products for our cars. This is much appreciated.



----Ah ha! I see you did. Thanks.

 

PM sent!

 

Will the inlet/outlet adaptor piece be available separately?

 

How can you send coolant that way? I can't visualize how it will flow 4 times through 4 cores with a dual inlet. Duel inlet means flowing into two cores at once, right? I'm still lost.

 

duh huh? in laymen's terms?
iirc, dual inlet w/ a single larger outlet = dual pass...
inlet 1= in laminova 1 to laminova 2 =>to outlet
inlet 2= in laminova 3 to laminova 4 => to outlet.
so...dual pass?

 

Do you have any information comparing the new intercooler pump to the factory supplied Bosch 7gpm (26L per minute) flow rating?

Also, the difference between the already factory supplied 4 laminova cores vs the new ones?

 

Here's how I see it...the single inlet snakes the fluid through 4 cores in series, hence the fluid spends a lot of time in the intercooler. The more time it spends in there, the hotter it gets and the less effective it is at cooling the air.

The dual inlet runs fluid through all 4 cores at the same time, but straight through, (like a 4 lane highway as opposed to a 1 lane twisty road) so the fluid is circulated faster through the intercooler, meaning it doesn't heat up as much, and because of that is more efficient at cooling the air.

I'm no expert on this, but it sounds like that's what he's trying to say. Someone e-whack me if I'm way off on this.

 

1st- can someone please bann rlinbatonrouge, he's obviously a trol
2nd- stop disrespecting JBP, they've got some of the best preformance parts for the cobalt... AND NONE OF THEM ARE POINTLESS
3rd- we're not gonna call the intercooler by a different name, just because you don't know what you're talking about

4th- JBP, I suggest you start answering some of these questions ASAP

1. when are you getting the AIT2's on this?
2. Can you go in-depth on what exatly your 4pass does (diagram)?
3. What is the difference between your 4-pass and GMPP's 2-pass?
