Intercoolers

[scouser king]

G'day all
As the title says intercools.I have got a vp v6 with a powerdyne supercharger on (6psi,250hp@wheels) the supercharger has just be rebuilt WITH BIG THANKS TO TIM.So i want to go to 10psi and smash over 300hp@wheels.I need a cooler but i dont no where to start and dont know how to set it up.Any help would be great.
Thanks Ian

where did you get the charger rebuilt and how much? oh what model is it the belt or gear driven. i have the belt driven one intercooled on my vt but been told i need more boost to warrant it

[delcowizzid]

being that he said tim did it ide say tim from raptor did it for him

[scouser king]

Its a powerdyne db 11 gear driven supercharger
It was done by tim from rator superchargers
It cost about $600

mate a front mount, probably a 600x300with 3 inch inlets and outlets. reverse plenum if you can. and you will need two 32 or 38mm BOVS to stop the compresor surge the pipework will make, a good flowing system with minimal bends and if needed use mandrel bends not silcone the tight radiuse of the silicone bends will kill power, and make sure your airflow metre and cold air sensor is after the cooler and before the TB.

i thought the bd11 was a belt driven and went to gears in the xb1A charger. i'll have to look into this and contact tim too. with my pipework i have 3 pipes but cant remember what goes to what. should be fairly similar to yours i'll get some pics tomorrow

Reverse plenum is not an option as i have a custom twin throttle body set up and so this is where iam getting .

im sure someone will be able to tig up a funnel to bolt onto your setup?

Yeh i will put some photos up in the week or so when i get the motor and blower back in

[Raptor Charged VX]

sounds good mate

[delcowizzid]

is it still like this http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...-dscf0017.html should take much changing to plumb in a front mount

[Raptor Charged VX]

if you still have that intake just modify it to suit.

Thanks for finding that photo mate , it is still the same but with some head work and clean engine bay

get a pwr water barrel kit.. got one on my VT and keeps temps consistent. less restrictive than air to air and less piping work needed reducing boost loss

Cheers mate do you have link for where you can buy them from?

[LX_HATCH]

Hey mate sightly off topic. But 250rwKw is impressive on 6psi!!

What engine work have you done?

Do you think the intake manifold makes a big difference?

Did you get it made locally to you?

That's what I'd be doing... Water-air will give you much more consistent intake temps! You lose a lot of boost running all that piping through a front mount compared to a water-air setup.

MACE made a twin TB setup similar to that but i'm not sure if they do it anymore. there is also another crowd that manufacture something just like that. i've seen em advertised in the SC mag. looking at about $1000 for one if memory serves. or you could make your own

Hay mates thats 250ph/185wKw and thats with old heads@cam, i'am looking for 250rwKw
with 10psi and that water to air intercooler thing.
The manifold makes a big difference on this motor , but a stock one its makes next to **** all difference,The mainfold come with the motor from vic. from spencer race engines

Pretty much everything you need to know about intercoolers.... the water-air section is at the bottom>

RCVX and myself have both intercooled raptor v6's and im using a 450x300x76 and RCVX is running a 600x300 and he lost .3psi in the manifold while running 10psi, i doubt anyone would notice driving with 0.3 psi lost would they???????

Whats .3psi stuff all lol

[Raptor Charged VX]

yeah it makes no differnece, i have the 12 psi pulley and see 11.6psi at the manifold,just some how the pipework worked really well. soon though all the pipework will be made from one peice of three inch straight all mandrel bent to suit the car,,
