el_bandido I friggin love the blue one of those. Smells sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice.
Also, has anyone with an SC considered an air to water intercooler in the intake manifold, like the v8 supercharger kits have?

I was under the same impression as you stix to be honest.
Fair enough, water has a pretty good heat capacity, I just reckon you'd need a good pump and a decent enough surface area in the intake. Just wondered, a lot of the supercharged v8s and people like Stillen seem to prefer it, as the temps drop right down.
I'll have to try it out when I've got ridiculous amounts of spare money
I've had a think on the train to work and a small IC inbetween the SC and the collector would be do-able (although it would be tiny) and if you just plumbed it into the engine cooling system and mabee added a cooler opening thermostat it might reduce temps enough to be worth it.
Yeah I was just having a few thoughts about how to keep the intake temperatures really low so you could push the boost higher without blowing up. It should be more efficient than air to air, provided the radiator you attach it to at the front of the car is big enough.
I'm only throwing ideas about anyway, been reading up on supercharging a lot lately as I'm past everything else in design stage for v8 stuff. Has anyone tried a centrifugal supercharger on the 1g engine?
Yeah Dave used to have a rotrex on his before he went turbo.
Also the 1ggze is a centrifugal charger.
Back to the charge cooler, would water/meth injection not be a simpler ,ethos to cool the intake temps.
Stix44 I love jelly bellys too! Ill get a pic of my current collection.
I've looked into charge coolers (admittedly not in the intake manifold) and from what I've read they are only really any good for drag racing because while water is faster to "take" heat it is much slower to "give it up" so they are only effective in short bursts.
someone can correct me if I'm wrong but that was my reading of charge coolers.
plus the plumbing would probably be a nightmare!
