Ok well I am trying to figure out how I can run an intercooler without having to cut my car up....

I really dont like it in the front of the car with the front license plate cover and fog lights missing....is there a way to mount it horizontal?

Does anyone else have any different set up than the one where you have to cut up your bumper and frame?

I was thinking maybe getting something like the procharger setup , but I have heard they arent very good....and they max out at a pretty low number is this true?

Thanks for any help!!

Oh and if you happen to have pics PLEASE post them up!!

why not try and do an air to water intercooler? theres less stuff to have to cut up.

sorry if this may sound REALLY stupid but can you explain to me how I would not have to cut stuff up?

If cutting the bumper makes you feel uneasy, then do the Procharger 4.5 twin intercoolers along with meth. That will get the job done.

To further what ping king was talkin about,

AIR to WATER Intercooler.

An air to water intercooler is a sealed intercooler that relies on coolant, water....to cool the in coming air(boost) charge by passing water around the core of the intercooler.

Can be fabbed up to fit almost any open space under the hood or other open space on the car. You'll also need a pump, heat exchanger for the fluid and other odds and ends.


thanks W2W for the attached pic

is that the whole intercooler??

Yeah I was thinking getting something like the procharger setup....but was worried that it wont be enough....

yep and they are very very effective at getting IAT temps to ambient and below in some cases.

Some argue that they aren't very street worthy, while some run em on the street with no big issues.

Pretty practical for the guy who doesn't want to mount a FMIC on his camaro or 'bird.

But they do add weight to the car because of the supporting hardware needed to run one.

Can you buy these? Like a kit or something designed for an Fbody?

Oh wow I did some searches on the net and I dont think that is something I want to do....Im liking the procharger setup more than the water to air setup....It just seems like its ALOT of stuff...

i remember some one on here had a large intercooler mounted in the normal FMIC location only laying down length wise, with a drawthrough fan. im not sure how much less he had to cut but i think he was able to leave all of his bumper support, etc.

Yeah thats what I want....I dont want to cut up the supports and I dont like the look with the licenseplate cover cut out....I like the "stock" appearance thing....kinda sleeper like....

How well would a setup like this be?? Also would tilting it a little bit help any??

I will also be running a meth set up as well...it will come on around 3psi

We installed our front mount intercooler kit on call911's LT1 that has an ATI ProCharger. we did not cut out the front, and we kept the foglights. Ben says the inlet air temp's have been really good with this set-up. Bob

How are his coolant temps? Does the intercooler effect flow to the radiator? Hows that working out? Thanks!

i cut my front bumper support and the foam. I will mod the brackets to keep the fog lights. I think i will use some i/c fans for heatsoak during the burnout and to cool the i/c on the return road




yeah redneck but effective

Look at both our street and race system, both don't require cutting of anything. The i/c for the street system will support 500ish rwhp and the air to water on the race kit over 1000rwhp. The street kit intercooler has better flow and pressure drop number than most of the Taiwan stuff you see on the forums.

That's interesting but how will it work with the LS1 since the front ends are different? Do you have any pictures of the setup? I've got a few other ?s too but I'll PM you about them

Air to Water would be the best!
