So I am srrsly thinking about making an Air to Air Intercooler. I have been doing some reading and some research and I think I can pull it off.... Thoughts?
 


For S/C application? Wouldn't be difficult if you have the fab skills. Holden has one for the 3800 series 2
 
A liquid inter cooler is ideal for the 3800 supercharge engine.

Here is a picture it.

I dont know much, but i suggest not to wing it. Unless you were being sarcastic.

When it comes down to your engine josh, the last thing you want is more ghetto rigged sh*t.

Ghetto rigging seems to be getting the job done... Plus when I said I would wing it, I meant I have to look at the LIM and blower and figure something out.
 
Ghetto Rigged seems to be getting the job done now. On a stock car, but that might not last forever.

I personally wouldnt ghetto rig anything when it comes down to modding, do it right the first time, and you could possibly save your engine.

Plus yours has ~250,000 miles, so the last thing it needs is ghetto rigged "mods" on it.

But hell, i say go for it. I would love to see it done. Im just throwing in my .02
 
Worse thing that could happen is a vacuum leak.

I'd pickup a bonnie coil bracket and delete your EGR.

That should give you the space you require.
 


I went out and was looking at things earlier... My biggest problem right now will be with the fuel rails.. I will have to figure something out with that... Cause I am thinking the core I build will require me to do something with them cause it will be too thick.
 
Plus the more I am reading the more issues I am seeing with it.. Seems that the issue will be with the MAF and throttle response.
