Hey Guys, I found someone selling a Laminova Intercooler for a JRSC at a really nice deal. He said they will fit right inside the JRSC for an Integra. I have never seen these before, but I did a little research and found out that they are very efficient and in most cases very expensive. Have any of you guys ever ran one of these Intercoolers on your Jackson setup? Experiences, Ups, Downs, please post them. [Here is a PDF of the Specs and Materials used to Manufacture them](http://www.opcon.se/www/files/laminova/pdf/Core.pdf) [here is the manufacturers Website](http://www.opcon.se/index.asp?sPage=1&langID=2&cID=15) This is what they look like ![http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/475/core1qi3.jpg](http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/475/core1qi3.jpg) ---

are there really going to many advantages over a water to air? ---

the air has less distance to travel, so less boost lost. id imagine it can cool the air better too considering most s/c setups use water to air and we all know s/c generate more heat. ---

water can be cooler then ambeint air water can absorb heat 4 times faster then air (somthing like that?) ---

Studderin that link you found to cobaltss is pretty sick! Did that guy totally fab up that end cap to accommodate the IC’s? That’s what I need to find out for the JRSC, what needs to be done to get like 3 of these cores into the manifold? The guy that’s selling them said its not a plug and play modification, He said there would definitely be some custom fab work that would need to be done. ---

To make this happen on a JRSC, you would pretty much have to follow the same process as LHT right? Cut open the manifold, weld the intercoolers in, and set up a pump system for coolant? ---

Setting up a pump system is super easy, basic system would be pump, front rad. and some hose to connect everything. GM IC pump is like $100 and is very nice. I love mine. As far as putting the cores in the JSRC manifold I have no idea, what does it look like and is there enough room? ---

I wouldn’t weld them. ---

[Here is a link to LHT’s website, they show the build process on installing laminova coolers into the JRSC mani, They dont mention welding either.](http://www.lhtperformance.net/Superchargers/Parts/intercooler_pics/interc.build.html) I wonder, do they just stay in place?
