Split Second Water to Air Intercooler Info Thread...

[oohnoo]

If you already have a front mount then it's a piece of cake, just splice one of these in. The heat exchanger (radiator) would go right in front with the pump on passenger side front fender area. Piece of cake really, no welding necessary. Your making it out to be harder than it really is, I suppose it's just how "inventive" you want to be. Can all be had for $650, and that's for one that supports 1200hp. What's really cool is these have a .2 pressure drop, that's POINT .2

Unless your drag racing there's no reason for an ice box.

Still curious to see how this other setup, might be worth it.

It's not just the .2 pressure drop, its the temp and the spool. You only have like 4 feet of intercooler pipe total and the charge temp can be in the mid 40's.

Scope this plumbing idear once you move the battery out of the way... almost like it's supposed to sit in the engine bay. How easy would this be to make pipe for...

The first one is just too damn big and the second link doesn't work. As you mentioned most of these are supposed to sit in your engine bay. The only area that would work is by the intake and battery. But yes that would be ideal, I just haven't found one that would work the best for our application especially with 2 turbo's. Let me think about it some more.

Take the first link and shrink it down. 2 1/2" dual inlet 3 1/2" single outlet with (2) 8 x 12 x 4.5 cores. Would look perfect.

funny when I designed my kit back in 04 no one thought it it would work and it added to much weight to the car....

Shoot Von, it's what like 15-20lbs more at most? It was always a time vs. money thing for me. For under $900 with an icebox you're stealin it. How much did your setup cost back in the day? I say damn... prices are a little depressed right now.

Got any old pics you could post up?

[oohnoo]

yes more info please. What were your results?

Details...details...lol

Credit goes to where it is due. I have been eyeballing a picture of Von's W2A since it was posted. this whole system was built around his idea. Just couldnt put it together for a good price till now.

Trying to find a intercooler that will work perfectly for the 3/s is not going to happen. it has to be made. Trust me we contacted everyone so that we could save time and costs but no one was offering what we needed. So we had to build it. Im almost done with another setup ill shoot some more pics of this one. our core is a dual 2" inlet single 3" outlet. no piping between the TB and intercooler. Blow off valve is attached to the IC. this is a 1200hp setup in theory we dont have a 1200 hp car to test it. but we have a 900hp car that we are building this next set up for.
