I am looking for an intercooler. it does not have to be complete it only needs to be the casing. i am working on a project and need to see if i can get my hands on one. if anyone knows someone or has one please let me know. like i said it does not need to be in working order i just need the casing even if it is cracked.

 

what type? for water to air?

 

If it does not need to function, get a cardboard box in the shape of a FMIC and write FMIC on it in big Black Letters..

 

^^^ that would be sweet but you have to paint it silver

 

Crap i guess that would help. i need the factory one sorry.

 

Hmm, Good luck with that..

 

If you are looking to relocate it i would go onto ebay and get a new one, i am currently making a new heat exchanger setup that relocates a new heat exchanger that should cool better. I just bought the radiator so i just need it to get to me so i can make some brackets and get some tubing so i can test it. Should have a prototype in 3-4 weeks and i'll data logg everything so i can tell if it is worth the money.

 

I think that just swapping the Stock IC with a more effecient or larger model would work very well.

Placing it in the lower front of the SS SC bumper would make a big improvement.

 

yea i have got that already bought mine from zzp performance. i am running dual heat exchangers. work pretty well but i haven't datat loged it yet.

i am trying to get an M-90 on and just wanted another cooler for mock up hince why it doesn't matter if it works or not. thats all. i will let you know if i can make it work or not.

 

I think I heard from testing that our intercoolers were about as effective as they could get, and that you can't really improve upon them much.

The heat exchanger may have some capability for improvement though, but most likely wouldn't increase power.

 

i would have to agree with you. the biggest problem though is the capacity of the system. you can do a few things to increase this. you can installa bigger resivor tank. or "ice box like some of the redline guys are doing. or add a bigger heat exchanger. or a second heat exchanger. i choose the second heat exchanger so now my capacity went from 2qts to almost 2gallons. yes this is an added weight but you have to take the good with the bad. the fluid does not heat up as much do to the added capacity. well that is my thought process on it.

 

At the same time you are adding more weight to an already heavy car...

I think this is a major drawback of the swin screw idea that Chev has put together.

Basically, IMO... If you were to remove the core that is in the SC and make a new more effecient design and then increase the volume of coolant that flows to it, you would get better results and add less weight to the car.

 

again this is a good point but what you are adding maybe 8lbs to the car with the bigger heater exchanger and added fluid. i know the more weight the slower the ET. if i can get the M-90 to work properly then the weight would be minumial due to the added power correct?

 

Everything is a balance...

HP at the cost of weight is def an issue here.

What you have to do is think outside the box and cheat into getting what you want and not just taking the evident solution (Adding Weight)

There is a better way.

Have you thought about simply moving the IC that is there to the front of the A/C condenser.

I'm talking about like 2 or 3 inches in front of it..

 

You can't move the intercooler, since it is under the s/c. I think you are confusing the heat exchanger with the intercooler. Personally, I don't think that would make a big enough difference to go through the trouble.

An Ice box would be the way I would go.

 

Whatev, You get my drift though.

 

Hey littless can you get some pics of your setup? I want to see how you did it. You can email them to Brawn_Douglass@yahoo.com Thanks
