Veilside S2k....show AND go

Just had a little fun messing around with my veilside S2K. It was already supercharged but I removed the airbox, rearranged the supercharger and added an intercooler. Also a pair of cone filters now feed the supercharger.

Here's a pic from the original cars engine, if you want exterior pics they're on my site (click the sig):

The whole setup. Stole the brace from an import racer 1:24.

The cone filters right behind the radiator. I decided to go with a setup pretty much like this guys (http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/637618/2).

The HKS intercooler (perfect fit because the car already had HKS parts and the decal on the side).

To be fair its not done yet because I have no area to paint. So you may notice that the SC pipe has a massive gash where I had to cut the pipe off and twist it around. Also the radiator hose magically become chrome just before it actually gets to the radiator.

I don't mean to sound silly (too late eh?) but what exactly is that little chrome loop on the front of the intercooler? I'm confused about that little bit.

As soon as I can paint again i'll finish the piping up right.

Really fantastic mods there :)
Who makes this model?
I'm 100% positive, but I've seen those loops as nitrous cooling lines, coming from the bottle, and running to the intake, not sure if that's what it is on this car, but I have seen them before.

ERTL Fast and Furious, I think

Damn! Lots of detail. Great work as always.

Superchargers don't use Intercoolers...
I think you mean Turbo charger :-/

Technically superchargers dont use INTERCOOLERS, rather they use AFTERCOOLERS.

Camaro is right, if you followed the link I provided you can see an S2K with the exact same setup I have. Superchargers don't work in the same way as turbos but they produce the same effect and heat the air. Thus an intercooler would be useful and can be used with a super.

aftercoolers are basically air to water intercoolers. some cars like the 03 cobra use a aftercooler to cool the water, then that water is moved to a intercooler below the blower, before the air goes in the motor. a guy a UPR told me this, im not sure if i remembered it correctly.

and the ring is the NX N-cooler. nitrous or c02 runs thru the ring and it dramatically lowers the temp of the air going into the intercooler.
