|
Alot of people are completely clueless that a roots blower can be intercooled. A Cobra SVT is a GREAT example that it can be done.
But for those who didn't/don't believe that it can be done, here are some pics of my intercooler install a few months ago.
 Blower on...
 Blower off, core in place...
 Blower on, sandwiching the I/C Core between the LIM and the blower.
 All back together...then...
 ...to the heat exchanger. But this one didn't cut it so...
 Got a MUCH larger heat exchanger to extract more heat.
If any of you guy's ever do a roots blower, an intercooler is a must!

Yup you sure can intercool blowers...
Yea...I sure do realize that when I punch it at 35 MPH and it just roasts the tires...

Oh, it's mainly to kill knock, but a knock free setup could see up to a 50 WHP gain!

| G8 is RWD; G6, G5, and G3 are all front tire fryers. |

I knew 4 years ago that could be done. But then since I have the same car you do, it makes sense

Yup, there's a pump that pumps the fluid through it.
