A different thought on intercooler pipe work?

[0081]

Have been thinking about getting a supercharger for a while now and looking at a intercooler pipe work thinking i dont realy like all pipe work crossing back from one side to the other.

So without getting a reverse plenum could you run two smaller intercoolers ontop of each other so you could run in one side out the other then a U bend up to the other and then back out the otherside (the same side it came in at) and then back up to the throttle body?

The only thing i can see being a problem is the room for two pipes on the one side, any thoughts???

like this i guess

i thin you have to say good bye to your fog lights if you have any as it gets quite squishy on that side of the car, i really dont like both in and outlets out the same side, but intercooler manufacturers do make them...

Well i have not see a cooler like that i think it looks good, much better then having a pipe going between the 2 like in my pic.

Your thought is on the right track... but in this situation you would genarally cut off the end tanks from the ends where your u-pipe was and weld on one single end tank from one intercooler to another.

Like this (except I forgot to include the end tanks on the rhs...)



Important to have you in/out pipes at the top and bottom...

Here's another pic which might explain better..

Would it be better or worse for flow?

it is a fairly sharp bend inside the end tank of the cooler which is quite restrictive in my opinion.

it has been done before:

All ideas are welcome, intercooling setup is critical to supercharged engine performance, great to see people giving it some serious thought
