JRSC INTERCOOLER FOR REAL!!!!

**klintman** · January 31st, 2002, 04:48 PM

the jrsc weak link (missing link) may be a thing of the past . its a good thing . just curious , where would a bov come into play with a roots blower ? just to make that cool PHHHIISSSTTT!! sound ?

Wow! I can't wait! God, I hope it's affordable.

Do you think it'll be air/water, like the Miata's or do you think it'll be an air/air intercooler?

The blowoff valve would just be there for the sound. There would be no benifit to have it, just fun. As far as a pressure drop From what he has been telling me there WILL be a pressure drop. I am running the 8psi pulley right now and he says that I most likely will see 6psi(time for a crv pulley). But he also stated that rule of thumb for every 2 degrees we cool are intake temps=1hp. He says that the cooler will easily drop intake temps 125degrees if not more. That is a easy 50hp gain. Also running a cooler intake charge temp will be more engine friendly even know it is producing more hp. We all know as we do pulley upgrades with our blowers the heat goes up and up This will allow us to run high boost pulleys and see a good gain. I think the crv crank pulley will do very nice with the inter cooler!!! In the near future I will have before and after dyno runs, intake temp readings, different boost levels and the like. I will post more as time goes on. But I will have to email the pics to somebody who will host them for me cause I can't. later for now!!!

I wonder if it will be a front mounted Intercooler, a intercoller abover the JRSC (under the hood, like the old Celica turbos have) or just a plate between the SC and engine.

He should design some intake manifold where the compressed air is going to an front cooler and than back to the manifold. Is this possible?

Blown!!! hhmmmm, I guess I?ve overboosted it

Where will the throttle body be? Before or after the blower?

That would be the ideal situation in my opinion. A water to air heat exchanger between the blower and the intake manifold with a radiator mounted at the front of the car. A-LA' the mythical ENDYN kit or the Autorotor supercharger vaporware. I't would seem like a fairly simple fabrication or sand casting along the lines of the GSR dual stage manifold. Picture this; Rather than the butterfly plate, install a heat exchanger designed in such a way that it could be gasketed to, and sandwitched between the blower/manifold. I't doesn't even necessarilly have to be metalic. A high strength thermoset plastic would work. All you need is a flat surface for the seal. I'm amazed that no one has done something like this yet. It seems like such an obvious and easy improvement to the JRSC design.

What is about condensing water on the small lines. Water can dropping into the engine?

A ~2psi drop in boost would tempt a lot of us to overboost. What is the maximum boost our blowers can handle, if, for instance, the heat generated wasn't a problem? Don't they have a maximum rpm also?

Yeah, I think more than 14psi is not possible, otherwise the there will be metall to metall touch. Imagine the blower explode?! WTF would the engine l@@k like? frown
