The ScienceofSpeed Laminova Supercharger Intercooler (aka Aftercooler)
is designed for the ScienceofSpeed, Comptech, and CT-Engineering
Superchargers. Using the innovative Laminova intercooler cores in a
billet weld-free housing, the system is designed to efficiently cool the
intake from the supercharger for increased power and reliability.
Laminova
Intercooler:
The
Laminova Intercooler is a patented revolutionary design that features a
one piece extruded core that maximizes surface area with a circular
cross section. Charge air passes around the core while coolant (separate
from the engine's coolant system) flows through the center of the core.
The design offers unparalleled efficiency and reliability compared to flat cores. The Laminova cores are now used in several OEM supercharged applications
including the Cobalt, Corvette ZR-1, and Cadillac STS-V.
Billet aluminum intercooler housing: The Laminova cores are installed in a
ScienceofSpeed-designed billet aluminum housing. The housing captivates
the cores with billet aluminum end caps that channel water flow for twin
pass flow. Precision machined, the assembly is pinned and o-ringed for
precision fit and seal. The modular design eliminates the need for
welding increasing reliability. Further, the end cap fasteners are
captivated so that if loosened, it is impossible for them to enter the
engine. The billet housing is designed to countersink the cores into the existing intake manifold such that the height increase of the
compressor is only 1.3".
Lightweight water distribution block: The ScienceofSpeed Laminova Intercooler
System includes a lightweight Delrin water distribution block. This
distribution block attaches to factory locations to distribute water to
the intercooler. High tech push-to-connect fittings are reliable and
easy to operate.
ScienceofSpeed: Liquid-Air Installation
Kit: To allow the
intercooler to circulate and cool the intercooler's water, a complete
installation kit is offered. Installation kit's main components are
front-mount heat exchanger, water pump, and water reservoir. All hoses
and hardware required for installation are supplied.
Performance gains & testing: By lowering intake charge temperature with an
intercooler, the denser charge delivers more air mass to the engine
allowing it to produce more power with less boost (pressure). The
reduced heat increases reliability, safety, and emissions while
decreasing fuel consumption from the
engine.
The design was prototyped using computer model simulation. Real world
testing has validated the design producing significant power and torque
gains. By
reducing the charge temperature up to 98 degrees, the intercooler has
allowed an increase in power and torque by 10% (more than 37 horsepower
on a standard ScienceofSpeed supercharger system). These gains were made
with less boost at 7.6 psi.
Testing was performed using the identical vehicle and supercharger
system with the only change being the addition of the intercooler:
intake air temperature:
67-98 degree temperature reduce at all RPMs
dyno testing:
37 wheel hp, 34 wheel tq gains with no pulley / boost increase
boost graph: 10% increase in power and torque with less
boost
System requirements & notes:
The ScienceofSpeed Laminova Supercharger System is designed to be
compatible with any ScienceofSpeed Supercharger System, and any Comptech
or CT Engineering Supercharger System with the Autorotor 1.7L
supercharger included (the Autorotor compressor can be distinguished
with a machined housing
as shown here).
The intercooler is raised only a modest 1.3". However, it is not
possible to use the factory engine cover with this system. Also, targa
NSX with the triangular engine braces are not currently compatible (a
coupe brace may be substituted).
Kit components: The ScienceofSpeed Laminova Supercharger
Intercooler System requires two parts:
ScienceofSpeed Laminova
Intercooler Kit: includes housing, end caps, cores, and water
distribution block, drive belt, and all accessories for
installation.
ScienceofSpeed Water Supply Kit:
includes NSX front-mount heat exchanger, NSX reservoir, reservoir
cap, water pump, hoses, fittings, and electrical accessories.
Compatibility:
The system has been verified for ScienceofSpeed 2.1L superchargers and
Comptech/CT-Engineering 1.7L Autorotor based superchargers. Please
contact us for availability with Comptech/CT-Engineering 1.6L Whipple/Lysholm
superchargers.
