Talking 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.


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.

Re: Veilside S2k....show AND go

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.

Superchargers don't use Intercoolers...

Technically superchargers dont use INTERCOOLERS, rather they use AFTERCOOLERS.

Re: Veilside S2k....show AND go

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.

Re: Veilside S2k....show AND go

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.
