Who has reasonably priced exchangers efficient enough to run something like that?
How are you guys setting up intercoolers for procharged type blower systems, with its own exchanger system in a closed loop for cooler core, or seawater with seperators(sea strainers)? If anyone is doing closed loop intercooler systems, what about use a larger exchanger than you would on just motor to do both systems? I was thinking about longevity of intercooler cores in a Eaton type blower that you cant easily replace, how are the intercooler systems done on the CTSV supercharged LS engines used in boats?

I didnt want to pump seawater through the intercooler bricks inside of the factory LSA blowers, they arent all that easy to replace

pro charger uses water from the sea pump,not from a seperate pickup.on an m4 or m3 they use a -8 line.i always thought that was not big enough.

This is what I have cooling 800hp Procharger motors

I run coolant in the block and my intrecoiled runs off the seapump.

It's better to use a sperate heat exchanger with a small electric circ pump. The coolant in the engine exchanger will be too hot to adequately cool the air. The exchanger for the intercooler doesn't have to be huge, I'll post a couple pics of the stainless ones we use for a reference.

Sorry, forgot about it. Here's the size for an LSA, 2/3 is the exchanger for the intercooler and the end is an oil cooler. With decent flow, this size keeps temps under control at 10lbs boost. [ATTACH=CONFIG]562506[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]562507[/ATTACH]
