Default Twin Intercooler Setup

Has anyone tried setting up a pair of intercoolers this way but in a 4th Gen Camaro.



I got the idea from a C5 Corvette turbo kit sold by this company https://www.raceshop2000.com/store/p...7d5cf18d539c68

I was thinking of maybe setting up two small intercoolers inside each corner of the front bumper and cutting up an inlet like this on each side:




and then cutting a few large vent holes on the inner fender well to let the air escape giving it a good flow thru the intercooler to cool the intake charge.

Has anyone tried this or has had a similiar idea?

My 96SS was this way some time ago. Scroll to the bottom- http://www.ls1speed.com/intmd8.cfm

You'll be trading intercooler efficiency for engine cooling system and a/c efficiency.

I like that vertical shrouding you made for the intercoolers.
