Intercooler and charge pipe upgrade?
Was hoping some of the fellow turbo enthusiasts have heard of an intercooler upgrade with corresponding hot and cold piping...
The only one I've heard of (for piping anyways) is Jason's big mouth set up (keep at it man!). Any info on developments would be greatly appreciated (even rumors are welcome) |

ZZP's ATS intercooler works on the Camaro's LTG not sure on the piping wish they were an active sponsor on here.

Would ZZP's intercooler be a direct bolt in, or would it require the mounts to be tweaked and new piping made?... Sorry, you mentioned the piping already. Btw, can't wait to see what your car puts down on the dyno with the new intake and downpipe setup! Last edited by Corner carver; 09-08-2016 at 06:11 AM. |

Hoping for a larger capacity intercooler and also one with wide fin spacing (especially if it has more rows than stock) to maintain a decent airflow through to the 'main' radiator...
Anyone have a rough idea where these stock intercoolers max out? Also curious about the pressure drop across the stock unit also... A million thanks to anyone who has access to this info! |

As I recall, the ZZP intercooler supposedly fits the AWD ATS only? The RWD guys bitch about that. The ZZP website also says currently only fits AWD... I'll be looking at an intercooler upgrade in the future once I finish the other projects I've got in the works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

@Jason, hope the coldside pipe is coming along well! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the intercooler and hotpipe, this news makes me happy I'm holding off a bit on jumping in on the mods |

Hey everyone! Sneaking in here before having started our R&D threads yet, but we are working on both an intercooler and the IC pipes! Stay tuned in this forum and I'll be putting up some initial R&D posts pretty soon.
Thanks! -Gardiner |

The intercooler definitely needs an upgrade for anyone planning on some serious modifications.... Look at that puny little thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For real, it's embarrassingly small... I wouldn't think it would hold up to well with a few bolt ons and some track punishment; even if it did, what kind of pressure loss are we seeing across it?

You'll see more pressure loss with a larger intercooler (more space to fill). Boost is a measure of restriction, and the factory piece is probably a minor restriction even though it has a pretty good end tank design.
