2.9l whipple intercooler upgrade? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looking at possible upgrading the intercooler on my whipple setup and was wondering what you guys are using? Looked around for a bit but not sure there is anything out there.

Thanks

Intercooler or heat exchanger?

DCC1464 · 07-21-2016, 10:15 PM

Intercooler. Is even possible to upgrade the h/e?

Unreal · 07-21-2016, 10:24 PM

That is typically what is upgraded. Intercooler is under the blower and no one makes an upgrade that I've ever seen. People swap out the HE mounted in front of the car.

I think the best bet would be to use an interchiller.

Completely disagree with that. Call Joe@CPR. He has the hookup on nice HE/pump upgrades. That is the first step.

(Good) Interchillers reduce intake temperatures far beyond simple HE/pump upgrades. See, for example, Performance Interchillers from Australia.

The Whipple heat exchanger is pretty good. Are you having any problems?

What are you trying to accomplish? Having issues with IATs? Heat soak? Just want more power?

DCC1464 · 07-23-2016, 04:41 PM

A little of all, main issue is heat soak though. Alky kit got the iat under control mostly, but i sit at 150-160 iat until the meth kicks in.
