hey wassup fellas , just wondering if anyone has heard about WWW.SPEEDMAXPERFORMANCE.COM

I saw their booth at SEMA and PRI and was very interested in their intercooler concept .

here is a brief description of their intercooler :

The Speed Max intercooler offers a unique patent pending feature that no other intercooler in the market can offer. Using a fully integrated cooling coil, the Speed Max intercooler is the first and only intercooler to allow its user to cool charge air without ambient airflow. With the use of any cooling agent the use of this intercooler can greatly reduce its temperature throughout use. Just connect your nitrous oxide, CO2, chilled water or any other agent and see horsepower gain instantly.

and here are some pics i found

Pressure drop : @ 1000 CFM , our 22x10x4.5 core had 0.72 pressure drop .

what do you guys think ?

 

That's sorta the same thing as a air/water intercooler. Plus the No2 and Co2 will run out eventually so it might not really be worth it.

 

Anyone willing to invest in something like this would be much better off going with nitrous, which basically does the same thing, except about 100x better.

There is NO NEED for ANY KIND of intercooler for N/A even if it is to super-cool your intake air.

 

well , i mean for the turbocharged vehicles .

this setup doesnt mix CO2 with the intake air , cause that would be really bad .

it runs CO2 through the core of the intercooler and freezes the core .

 

This is for FI vehicles.

 

Still very similar to a air to water intercooler, but this would create much lower temps.

 

Well if it is in fact for F/I vehicles, yes it should work. 99% of the threads in this forum are for N/A so I thought this was some kind of "functional" interfooler.

I would think water/methanol injection would be preferable to this, though. For one, you don't have huge tanks in your car, and secondly, water/meth directly cools the combustion chamber, not just the intake charge.

This intercooler would be a unique setup for sure.

 

thanks for your input wired 24/7

 

IIRC the Ford Lightning had something similar to this. There was a 'scramble' button that cools the air-to-water intercooler w/ coolant from the AC temporarily. Not 100% sure about this but I vaguely remember it.
