Wet Manifold Supercharger, Charge Cooler
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi folks

Can you put a heat exchanger after a Vmax setup supercharger?

The reason I ask is I cannot find anything on the net about putting a fuel/air mix through a charge cooler. I have a feeling the fuel will drop out of the air by the temperature change or something silly, but simply dont know. Note the fuel is injected before the blower.

I want to reduce the charge temperature following the blower, but with the charger mounted right at the back I'm very limited for options. I'm looking at a bespoke panel heat exchanger bolted inbetween the charger and inlet manifold.

The water will be routed to a bike rad in the wing with elec fan, controled with an Emerald from the induction temperature.

Use the force!

fuel will definately condense and fall out ,it will get less at high speed but definately not good .you will be getting some cooling effect running the fuel through the charger anyway.

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

I thought that would be the issue. But even with the fuel going through the charger, its too hot for my liking.

I was thinking about wrapping the manifolds in copper pipe and ducting water through those. Less effective but a comprimise.

What does Stuart's charge cooler consist of? His website says he is offering them for all conversions.

I just realized you said chargecooler meaning water to air ! i was imagining a cooler at the front so the fuel would have to make a long trip ,.

with the cooler at the supercharger to head face area , i would think that , if it triggered water flow to the cooler only under boost, with a boost switch at say 1 psi , you could deff make that work .

on a really cold day ,with the water going through a rad at the front and then to the charge cooler, i could imagine a prob where the tickover may be a bit iffy , but if you control that flow it would be ok i would have thought .
