vortech intercooler

[rafelos1337]

Well I have a vortech v-2 sq s-trim and I dont like the fact that its blowing hot air into my intake. well i want to cool the intake charge. right now my main choice is water/methanol injecton from www.snowperformence.net. (booster cooler) and i was looking at the aftercooler from vortech (expensice and i dont like that big ass black box replaceing my battery. Not feeling nitrous. (hassle) I was thinking about an air to air intercooler. has anyone done a intercooler on this charger or know where i can order if there is a kit. And real quick I was trying to find a blow off valve to replace that dumb bypass valve. I have seen it done. is there some one or somewhere i can get that done. or buy the pipe and bov. do you have to do any thing to the system to run a blow off valve. because bypass is recerculating the vented are and bov releases it right? thanks its in a 89 5.0

get the A/A intercooler. it's more expensive, but it's always there. water/methanol run out. i've also heard from reputable sources that running a water before the supercharger can hurt the supercharger. as far as the BOV, you'd have to have a blow thru MAF sensor and run the BOV before the MAF. you don't want to release metered air, it will cause you to run very rich.

There are pro's and cons of each. The aftercooler system will clutter the engine bay and add more weight. The methanol will run out, but the air to air will always be there, but you won't have full effect until you get air moving through the intercooler. However, they seem to work best for a street application. The aftercooler would be nice because you could pack it with ice if you had a really hard core race going on. I have heard of people putting dry ice to thier air to air units as well. There are also CO2 systems for the air to air. Hell, just get all three or four if you count the co2 and blow sub zero air into the motor. Haha, imagine having a bad run due to a frozen valve!!!

I have, it was advertised in a magazine, the inlet and outlet were on the same side.

Aftercooler isn't that hard to install. You do have to move the battery to the trunk. I might be selling my set-up soon, so if your interested, i'll let you know.
