Nice to both of those!. Waiting for some warmer weather to put my ic in. Diff. Interested in the n* adaptor

How are you gonna get around having to modify the lim?

How much thicker is it going to be?


BTW, ever think about experimenting with a different core?

It is a different core 2.25

This core won't require modifying the LIM and pcv will work?

That is the plan.

Subbed for finished product.

Nice!

Still a heater core right?

Zzp right.
Mine is bigger

I think I have an idea of what your doing.

I'll just wait for pics.

Is the picing going to be the same on the new style IC?
Will the stock gaskets work?

3/4 " connections on core. The plan is for gen 5 LIM on bottom with stock GM gaskets.

What is the "soon" time frame for the IC?
Will there be any beta testing? I am in the market for a IC but can wait if soon is within 30 days?

Should have the first one machined this weekend. Ready to ship in a week.

If machining the LIM makes for higher flow and better distribution of the air, therefore making the IC more efficient.

How will the new design compare since you are using a stock LIM?

I definitely like the idea of the stock LIM better, just in-case I de-mod the car I wont need a new LIM and have stock PVC work as is.

I guess the new solution is a compromise between performance/convenience.

Either way. I'm in there like swim wear..... LMK when it's done. :th_peaceout:

We suck air through 70mm to 75mm throttle body. 70 is 6 square inches.
The supercharger pushes air through an opening in gen 5 LIM that is 5.3" x 4.0" or 21.2 square inches.

LIM is 3.5 times bigger area than the throttle body.

NOT that it really matters but for conversation sake.
For the "old" style IC's ..... You said: "It really is best to open up intake for best flow, this is more important then gen 3/5"
So I am curious about cooling efficiency, and really how much better it is to open up the LIM?
I am sure there is a math formula somewhere that explains it in % points.
Is there a writeup somewhere I can read? Just curious!
