Do you have a ZZP/WBS stage 2 intercooler? My intercooler isn't much different. In your earlier post you tried RTV the intercooler directly to the manifold and the supercharger, was that with garlock gaskets also?

You could have a vacuum leak between the 2 plates which come sealed from ZZP/WBS.

You might want to try RTV only without garlock gaskets. Make sure surfaces are ruffed up (scratches give the RTV something to grab) and degreased. Tighten bolts to a low torque and let the RTV Set. Re-torque the bolts after RTV has cured to proper torque.

None intercooled superchargers have 2 surfaces that must seal while this style of intercooler adds 4 more surfaces (6 Total)that must seal.

Hope that helps.....Would still love to sell you a intercooler

its a zzp stage 2 gen 3. I used rtv with garlock and it leaked badly. I then made my own using stock gaskets and it still leaked and my ltfts were still at 16.4

I do not have any specifications on temp drops. My core is aluminum construction; 34 fins per inch, 18 water channels and 5/8 diameter connections. 1/4 inch thinner than ZZP/WBS intercooler cores. ZZP's is 28 fins per inch and WBS is 26 fins per inch.

I'm doing a NIC/L26 build this winter, but I'm thinking tax return time might mean a Gen V/Phenolic IC... I'll let you know how soon I'm ready for one. What's your turn-around like right now?

I make 2 intercoolers at a time, when I sell the second one I order more material. Takes about 7 to 10 days to have 2 more ready. I also try and have 1 manifold ready to go all the time.

I'm just a tad confused. You say the intercoolers are $450 but then you list these..

PRJ aluminum intercooler, 2.125 thick, looks cool but they are preorder only, takes months, and expensive. $925 plus manifold.
ZZP Phenolic intercooler, 2.375 thick, is $850 plus $100 for the manifold.
ZZP Aluminum intercooler, 2.25 thick, is $$650 plus $100 for the manifold
WBS Aluminum intercooler(PCV functional with air breather), 2.25 thick, is $550.00 plus $100 for the manifold


Are those just for reference as to what other companies are asking for prices?
