IC options for supercharger (Page 1/1)
frockfiero NOV 20, 08:17 PM
Buttoning up my engine and looking to add an IC to my SC build but I'm shy on the 1200 price tag for the ZZP IC. Is this the only option? can I run the same IC that I see on turbo setups?

Intercooler I'm Looking at

Current Build:
Stage 3 Intense Heads
Forge pistons
ZZP rockers
OE-R Comp Rollers
2.5 Pulley
345 E85 Fuel pump

would help if you specify the engine

Obviously it might be a 3.8L V6 Supercharged.

Frockfiero,
You must have an intercooler between the supercharge and your intake and not at the entrance of the supercharger
Because the supercharge is the one that produces the heat, same thing as with a turbo, the intercooler is installed after the turbo and not before.

This makes sense now, I needed it spelled out I guess.

You might find a used set for less $ but still there's a lot of work in the install. Need to fab 2 IC coolant lines to the front and room for the radiator. Custom fuelrails.

With the rather small 2.5 pulley you need intercooling and likely larger injectors.
