whipple intercooler setups in 1st gen camaros
 

Lets see how you guys installed your intercooler systems in your 1st gen camaros. What brand parts did you use and how did you route your cooling lines..... Post pics :goggles:



Thanks

Is that whole stack all Autorad? I have their radiator and core support I bought from some one before getting a LSA and I was thinking about getting their heat exchanger. What’s the small one up top? Transmission or Oil?

Man that Autorad setup looks killer. Love the car, nice work!

I'm waiting on my AutoRad setup. Ordered it last week and was told it would a 16 week build time.... roughly the end of the year into the first of 2020. Geesh, but oh well, I can't wait to get it.

I used a gt500 intercooler. its a tight fit and took some notching of the hood support but it fits and its huge. The lid and lines have been close to ambient after a few highway and around town driving. Hood vents are essential to getting all that heat out.

That’s the thing I’m most worried about...hood vents. I like the Ring Brothers Razor hood as well as Anvil’s Extractor hood. But, I’m highly concerned with, the way my supercharger’s air intake exits the rear....that the hood vents of either of those hoods will hit the throttle body and intake tube, thus preventing it from closing.

Marcus, send me the supercharger and you won’t need hood vents. Fixed.

I used the track spec hood vents before they came out with the fist gen version. Mine are long but narrow. I will upgrade to the first gen version. They typically occupy the space behind the hood stops on the radiator support. The other option is to do what they did with Lous change camaro and use a ZL1 style vent in the middle of hood.

I did this low budget hood for Kevin.

Don

Don,

Can you define "low budget" and tell us how you did it?

Thanks!

It is the hood vent off a new SS Camaro. Cost around $120. Bonded it in with panel adhesive and had to fabricate some small peak extensions that carried it into the vent. Low cost because it look a relatively small amount of time and money compared to buying an Anvil or Ring Brothers hood.

I have a Ring Brothers Razor hood on my 69. There was an epic oh sh*t moment when I installed the hood and the vent hit the brake master cylinder reservoir hard. It seems they only build manual brake cars. Had to use a remote reservoir master. They may have since relocated the vents to address this issue, not sure.

Don

Don, do you feel like that vent moves enough heat out? I see lots of corvette guys who run OUSCI run the side vents and cowl vent.

It is hard for me to say. Kevin sold the car but my understanding is the guy who bought it runs it hard with no complaints. Roughly 700 hp LSA.

I think side vents further forward are likely more effective from what I have read.

Don

Just text me an address Scott...it's your's.

Don, if at all possible, that's what I'm trying to avoid...the very costly mistake of buying such an expensive item and it not fitting due to other parts colliding with the vents. It's one thing when expensive parts don't fit in general and you cut a bit here, shave a bit there and viola, it suddenly fits perfectly. But, to buy the hood and it otherwise fits perfectly except for it not being able to get along with other expensive then having to sell some of those expensive parts at such a reduced/discounted rate hurts bad. But, wait!!:idea::idea::idea::idea: I can just come and try on your hood Don. Hmmmmm....:headscratch::headscratch:

I used the C&R racing
