Do you need a very efficient intercooler?

The pressure drop with this system is around 1 lb total. I held one in my hand today and the construction is fantastic. Check it out:

Laminova's are used by several OEM manufactures (Ford and GM) A good friend of mine has been trying to get a 4 core box to use on a Centrifugal SC'd B20.(T-trim Vortech) unfortunately, Hytech and some of the other distibutors can't get them at this point.

They are very efficient, and easy to package.

Very Promising - I wonder how it would work in place of our coolers and if it is adaptable with our existing cores and pumps from the Comptech or Vortech units?

The pumps will work just fine, but you'll need a larger heat exchanger/radiator than either comptech or vortech provides.

I am looking into using a 25 row Mocal unit for my comptech cooler because I am using one for my oil cooler and I have this little problem with things being symetrical so, Ideally I would want the two coolers side by side in front of the A/C and radiator. Would that be sufficient to use with this system?
also, what do these bad boys cost????

I don't have an answer about the capacities but the cost starts around $1500 and goes up with modifying. This would be great on a racecar or anyone with much higher (20+ lbs) boost.
Hytech makes enclosures with custom aluminum extrusions and o-rings. No welding to break on the body of the unit. They are tested to 50# for leaks.

The radiator/heat exchanger Hytech reccomended is about 1/2 the size of the S's stock radiator.

unfortunately, Hytech hasn't been able to get the boxes lately.
