WeaponX was there last year. Would love to see one of these chillers in action.
Yes we'll be there and we're working on a complete running model to demo the chiller outside of the car too.

You'd still need an intake, chiller chills coolant for superchargers that the compressed air blows through.

We'll be between $1600-1999, actual pricing will be released when we're into production. And yes, you can do 50% or 100% for racing with very little affect on cabin temps!

Can this be fitted for other engines, or the LSA?

Ditto! March was said to be the release date. Probably ran into a snag.

Trying to understand how we end up with a net benefit in power? The system on,y works when the ac is on, taking hp to run the compressor and cool the air going into the intake manifold. The second the ac is shut of won’t the air temp immediately rise back up? Looking for my free lunch here...

My understanding is it cools a tank of fluid and the fluid cools the charge air. The fluid tank holds enough cold fluid to make it through a pass without the ac running. You are pretty much banking that cold when idleing and putting around and then use it when under boost. I suspect the ac shuts off at wot and a pump kicks in to get the cold fluid into the intercooler.

We're really close guys, sorry I've been so busy after coming back from TX2K that I haven't been on here much.

The only delay was in a couple of tools for my Haas VF6, but we have units on my ZL1, C7 Corvettes, and a couple of CTS V3s as well and they're phenomenal. Water temps on the V3 (since my ZL1 is a lot different with all of the cooling for the air to water) had water temps in the 20s! That car will be back on the dyno today with the latest and greatest and I'll have some more info to share and logs etc.

As soon as the tooling is in, I'll do the group buy. Kit is proven and ready, but I do not want to sit on money till the kit is actually in production.

Despite it being commanded to do so in the tune, it will oddly stay on when we've been on the dyno with the AC on. On a 900whp Whipple powered LT4, we saw about a 20whp loss with the AC on while on the dyno. Pretty low for the air... the IATs across the MAF on my compound boost setup were 44*!

When will this unit be released for sale? Summer's here!

Ditto. If the setup truly works, I’ll install one, too.

Been waiting for this. Come on now already!!!!!!!! Btw, I'm assuming this replaces the whole intake system, so if I'm running Meth, this removes all of that correct? Or am I wrong?



And curious. Just a question so don't bite my head off. What's the difference between running this and running an intake set up running off of meth? Doesn't Meth do the same and cool the IAT1's, excuse me IAT2's? Or am I completely missing the boat here.

I'd be interested in one for my Magnuson on my SS assuming it won't be too much of a challenge to make it work.
