The air to water intercooler for my supercharger sits in front of the AC condenser. The kit used brackets to lean the whole stack of heat exchangers back at the top. This allows enough room for a full sized intercooler to fit without trying to occupy the space of the AC condenser. Leaning it back requires different intake plumbing, but that is pretty simple and doesn't require using an aftermarket airbox.

You will not fit a standard type heat exchanger with the stock washer res. From my experience.

Reviving old thread...so what exactly do we need to do to install factory ZL1 heat exchanger on 6M SS?
Trying to complete LSA SWAP parts list

 

Have to fab up some mounting brackets to hold it in place and run the plumbing.

 

Any more info? I want to make sure that elbows and exits are all where they need to be. Brackets are not a problem. Also, does the Shelby unit require major rework?
Lastly, can a CTSV one work?
Thanks

 

GT500 just required alot of trimming and ditching lots of parts. And fabrication. The barbs are in good locations though.

 

I would like to use -12 AN fittings and I was informed that the ZL1 HX cannot be used. Any more options?

 

why screw around with the GT500 unit. just get that nice one from STG and be done with it.

 

I like it but for the size is a bit overpriced. Just my opinion.
You could get a Weapon X, Ron Davis or D3 for same $ amount.

 

Didn't see your post earlier, sorry.

I honestly can't remember if the bends and all are in the correct location for the stock heat exchanger. I have the weapon x track attack on mine. I'm sure you know how hot it's been down here, my intake temps are still hurting. In the "cooler" weather we had, I was starting a pull at about 10° over ambient. Now in this summer heat, it's stays about 20° over ambient, and that's with the track attack and reservoir.Eventually I'm going to upgrade pumps and maybe get a larger trunk tank to help. But the track attack drops the temps back down within seconds.

 

After seeing these pics the ve front is very similar. I am running a zl1 in conjunction with a frozen boost front. It is similar dimensions to the gt500 but is much more appealing. With the zl1 the washer res has to be relocated.

 

That G8 is a beauty and a beast! Nice job!

 

GT500

Why? Cuz I ain't get a check from none of y'all to pay for something better

Lol

You have any more mounting pics? I'm looking at the GT500 stuff as well.

Thanks.

 

Anybody tried one of those interchillers yet?

 

I would buy one but I do not want to cut the crash bar....

 

2 HE is common on the CTSV's. https://www.facebook.com/vadderperformanceproducts/

 

Good thing the car is apart....now I can take pics lol

Yes the plastic is cut...that's up to you. I did want to keep the washer fluid reservoir in the stock location and the GT500 is almost completely in tact. I modified the original bracket to allow it to be bolted to the bumper, but that's all. Pump and bracket are stock and the HX is using all the original bolts.

Here is mine..

 

Which HX did you end up going with? Did you relocate washer reservoir and/or trans cooler?

 

Oh God. I don't wanna put this crap back together. Anywho, your IC looks good

 

New to group guys. Just wondering why i cant use the zl1 camaro heat exchanger and also how is the pump run constant 12v im doing an lsa swap juat getting all my ducks in a row thanks.

 

You can use it, but you'll hafta relocate the trans cooler - I think the washer reservoir has to go someplace else too.

 

Welcome Sam Ramos!

I'm sure the answers will roll in!
