supercharger cooling
Discussion
Hi folks,
Im looking for some advice I have a vxr monaro ls2 with a harrop 112sc
Im looking in to cooling my intake temp so i can do some track days without being scared of blowing it up. Im going to fit water/meth spray but I would ideally like to if a inter-cooler. What have people done with there's?
im a mechanic to trade so i will be doing it myself. If anyone have pics or dimension of there set up that would be much appreciated. Thanks

In looking at options for a intercooler I've seen that behold81 has fitted one to his car so there must be options
Behold is running a centrifugal blower which requires an "inline" inter cooler similar to a turbo setup.You need a valley inter cooler specific to the blower.
Ah I see. Every day is a school day. I was looking at buying a complete setup off a guy called Steve from fife he is on this forum he has a PWR set up with the magnuson 112 charger complete with intercooler and everything with it but it was on his vxr8 and to fit it I need a fitting kit to fit it to my car but because it runs off a shaft that goes to the front of the engine and we can't source the shaft I need. I'm screwed

The chargecooler runs off an electric pump not the engine, are you talking about the supercharger drive shaft? i would expect them to be the same on an ls2 regardless if its a monaro or vxr8 although if they are not they could well be interchangeable.VXR HEED said:

I think you'd need to clarify exactly what this person claims he has on the forum regarding PWR. It's maybe just an uprated water radiator or something.Really your simplest, cheapest and easiest option is the water/meth injection.
As well as ensuring the actual air the engine breathes, is taken from a cold as possible source.
What sort of charge temperatures are you seeing at present ? What boost are you running ?

You English stole another good car.........that is one quick car good luck with the sale off it very well looked after
Yes its quick and sounds nice. There are some very nice examples north of the border. Yours inc.
Are you keeping yours now Wil
Well that's news to me I'm offshore just now so I haven't spoke to him a couple of weeks.
I thought it was weird as they are both the same engine. All I know is its a magnuson 112 with PWR intercooler. I met him to have a look at it and were my charger runs direct of the back his has a shaft that runs up the side. But I don't suppose it matters now if he has sold it

I've come across the shaft issue myself, even though both blowers were for a LS2, belt alignment was different, VXR8 being shorter by quite a bit, has corvette type spacing apparently, fix would either entail fitting of complete accessory drive off an R8 or other custom option I guess
Good luck whatever as I'm sure it's doable

That's another, but I believe that chills the intercooler circuit, and that's what is missing.
Spat my coffee out!(BTW Ian . My paint came today. Ta.)
OP. I'll try to be constructive. I had an NA set up (Cam and intake) that would pee over a 112 any day. If you must fit a charger either find a 122 second hand or dig deep and get a TVS2300.
