Default Magnacharger Intercoolers(custom)?

Anyone know where I can get a custom intercooler for a magnacharger? I am building a LS2 Chevelle with a magnacharger and would like to have a nice aluminum cooler maybe with large AN fittings. Any ideas?

This is going under the maggie? Are you planning to run a tall cowl hood or a shorter one?

The only one that I am aware of sits on top on the heads and under the unit. No front mount intercooler option.

Yeah, you want to cool the pressurized air, so the only way would be to use one underneath the maggie. Putting something before it would not do anything.

I think he's talking about the front heat exchanger, but I could be wrong.

u can probably add a heat exchanger to assist the maggie's intercooler. like alot of Cobra guys do. looks exactly like an intercooler, and keeps the maggie's from getting heat soak alot longer, and ait2 temps are substantially lower.

They are more like modern radiators than intercoolers, since they're set up for fluid.

Any good oil cooler, like the Setrabs or the B&M brazed plate, works well in that application, and the Setrabs and Earl's come in a lot of up/down and side-to-side sizes. There are some good fans that fit and would be useful so you could cool down even when stopped.

That Chevelle has gobs of room for a couple big coolers.

Yes, some call it a heat exchanger. Magnacharger provides this along with a pump for the fluid and a holding tank but none of it comes with AN fittings which id like to use for my car

The Setrab and Earl's (they are a sub-brand at Holley.com) will accept AN fittings, as will some of the hi-end B&M coolers. Earl's has all their sizes online.
