Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

So, youre still going to buy a Snout Cooler?

Might as well send me a check for $400 too, just because my name is yellow and it gives you better stuffs and stuff.

Ya dig?
 


Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

I have no problem investing to try something new, and after i get back from vacation I am going to install a temp gauge to read the air temp that is coming in before and after along with use a digital temp gauge to show the blower temps. and if that isn't enough after it is installed i'll drive 150miles if i have to to get everything nice and hot and then show what the temps of the blower are and the air coming in.

I didn't start this thread to start drama more or less it was just to see if anyone would be interested and it seems that a few are but some aren't that is fine and that is what I expected.
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

Brian, I think you're missing the obvious point...

It cools the snout.

Not the blower case...WHERE THE AIR IS.

Hence the point of intercooling UNDER the blower, post rotor air, OR methanol injection, pre-rotors...to cool the intake charge again, in a different matter. Those are easily seen gains by cranking the timing, running a leaner AFR, dropping pulley sizes...only thing you are going to gain with a cooler snout is if you happen to have a freak accident where the dog bones explode and go into another dimension and you have to pull the motor back by something not hot and burn your hands...which would be the snout...useful? Sure.
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

I just want to say that I called this BS years ago. They've been raping ppl hard since their first day in operation. Their mods do next to nothing and cost a premium. They also mislead people on what stuff actually costs and they recommend BS work that is irrelevant to what the customer wants. Yet they get away with charging up the ass for it all...

Anyone who actually thought for 1 second that this actually did something positive needs to have a psych eval.
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

So my method of believing that eliminating the heat made by the gears inside the snout you get a cooler blower which then inturn would keep the temps inside the blower cooler and help against heat soak is wrong?
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

There aren't enough facepalm pictures on the entirety of the internet to truly justify this concept.
 


Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

Agreed^^

Because the heat generated from the snout is basically negligable; since the rotors/case generate so much heat...you might be able to cool the snout, but you aren't cooling the thing that matters...the rotor pack/intake air/blower case.

So yes, lead on by skewed ideas.

Exploding dog bones, sounds dangerous.
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

But, if your snout was cool with Steig's snout cooler, you can grab the snout without burning your hand.

True story.
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

oh so now i gotta mod my dogbones so they don't explode? is there a cooler for that too?
 


Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

I'm wary of any situation in which people are agreeing with SnowFlake.
But seriously, we all do the things with our cars that make us happy. Have fun, post results, drink beer.
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

So, (i skimmed this thread) but i'm still a bit confused, is this thread about Snout coolers, that dont do anything, for the high price of 400+ dollers?? Would be a neat idea to cool off the snout of the s-c, but is there ANY gains for this?? other than running colder??
 


Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

so cold air intakes dont do sh*t anymore??

but it's cooling the snout, not the s-c housing??
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

anyone have a picture of what they look like inside the snout?
 
Re: Vemon Coolers (intercool your snout)

Does steig make turbo coolers? Would a colder turbo for my turbo car mean more horsepower?

WTF are you talking about? Cold air intakes have nothing to do with these ridiculous snout coolers...........

The second half of your response is a bit more relevant though, its not cooling the housing, its cooling the snout. The sheep who believe this to be a good idea say that by cooling the snout, you in turn cool the housing b/c you're not allowing that heat soak. What these people fail to realize is that any heat soak that occurs on the snout side of the blower is minimal compared to heat soak from the LIM.

They don't have a turbo cooler, but they are working on a blow-off valve cooler.......when your blow-off valve is cooled, it then cools the exhaust gases exiting the turbo, and allows the turbo itself to run cooler, making a lot more horsepowers.
