Where are you placing the intercooler at? I'm running into a delima on going with a Front mount or an air to water...

Who made the intercooler and where are you going to locate it?

the intercooler is going under the passenger side headlight assymbly like the twinhigh flow setup from ATI. the intercooler is a spearco it rated to 900 hp.

it fit like a glove and it uses the radiator support for a mounting place and an existing mount for the head light to hold it all.

FWIW there is a lot of flexibility on sticking an Air/Water. Not to mention you dont have a huge IC Core taking up air flow space, which is limited to our cars. Or just not visible from the outside of the car, which to some is a good thing.

I stuck mine in the same spot Vortech does and once I get it fixed and polished I think it'll make a nice addition to the engine bay :D

Good lord that's a big intercooler :eek:

Why is the intercooler inlet and outlet different sizes :confused:

Uh maybe its just me but that intercooler isnt BIG. Nice stuff and by no means am I knocking it, but my custom PTK intercooler must be HUGE if this one is big. I need to post some pics. But never the less, VERY nice stuff. Did you have to chop the LTCC harness down to get it to work with the LS2 coils?? Not much has been mentioned about the LTCC. I am doing one and would like to know. Thanks!

I changed the way the LTCC harness was setup so it would look better. there were just way to many wires. What I did was took the whole harness apart removed all of the duplicate wires and built it like a GM harness. Once you take apart your LTCC harness you willl see what I mean. The way i built the harness its electricly the same just looks different. I wanted it to look as seamless as possible I can send you more pics if you would like of the harness

I bought this stuff to build it http://www.msdignition.com/tool_6.htm http://www.msdignition.com/tool_9.htm plus a soldering iron, heat shrink and black tubing.

here is the finished product

it took about 2-3 hours or so maybe a lil longer it wasnt that hard to do just took time.

The coil pack setup i bought and modifed looked just like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LS1-LS2-LS6-Coil-Pack-With-Bracket-CORVETTE-SSR-GTO-Z06_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33689QQitemZ8016937 808QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW this is even the same guy i bought them from!

I bought these harness conectors from MSD part# MSD-8185 and rebuilt all of the wiring using them. if you want i could build this exact setup for you.

I sold my MSD BTM, the MSD coil and made 250 on those items. bought the LTCC for 200 buxs off of here , paid 180 for the coil packs 35 for the connectors had the other parts so all in all i paid 265 for all of it after selling all of my old stuff and will have a solid ignition that should be able to handle anything i need!!

here are some installed pics of the setup its almost done the plug wires are out of harms way and it runs perfect

Nicely done! I see a bracket for a blower on your car, correct? How do you have your blower running if it's still running the Ram Air or am I just missin something here?

how much did the aftercooler system run you $$$$ ?

The car is in mockup so i can test fit everything and i had to drive it lol

so the ram air is there and the blower is just hangin out nothing is hooked up to it. I wanted to test everything before the new motor went into the car so i didnt have a new fuel system,blower, ignition and FAST pcm go in the car untested what a nightmare that would be to troubleshoot lol

Steve

how much did the aftercooler system run you $$$$ ?

1250 for the intercooler
125 for the ice tank
175 for the waterpump
130 for all of the hoses, fittings and clamps
560 for all of the aluminium tubing,silicone and clamps

give or take a few

Steve

Out of curiousity, where did you run the hoses to connect the intercooler to the back of the car? I know some people have run them through the car, some have run them under the car...

And was there any thought to running the fuel lines up behind the engine? I did it that way and it certainly cleaned up the look of the engine bay, but then again I have a turbo so the exhaust work is very wierd and not near where I ran the fuel lines.

Its scary to see what happens when you do all the fab work yourself, I ended up spending around $700 for my air/water setup. Then again its not an ideal air/water cooler as the core is thinner than it could be.

I was going to run the fuel lines behind the motor but i didnt want any fuel near the trans since this is a 6 speed car and i will be launching it at 6000
I have a trans blanket and a home built shield made of titanium plate on the bottom of the car incase anything bad happens :(

I think im going to run the lines on the outside of the car underneath along the passenger side that way if it leaks or tears it on the ground not in my car

All of the tubing will be pro welded and fitted lol to much money in it not too

LTCC harness modified to work with ls2 coil packs

Here is all the old wiring from the harness!!I noticed the original LTCC wire harness had ground wires for each coil. Where on your modified harness did you put the ground wires for each of the coils? It looks good.

the grounds are at each connector just like it would be stock and are grounded to the ground post near the battery on the passenger side

the harness that runs between all the coils shares the same ground
