    $1350

    Yella Terra’s vast experience with supercharger kit design and water to air intercooler technology has culminated in the release of the new highly efficient V2 intercoolers to suit the popular GM 3800 supercharged V6.

    Unique V-2 intercooler core designs maximise surface area for efficient heat transfer away from the intake charge with minimum interference to air flow. The single pass water flow design incorporated in the Yella Terra intercooler delivers superior water flow rates and 100% cold water to the core. This dramatically improves cooling efficiency compared to alternative counter flow heater cores where 50% pre heated water is returned through the core. To eliminate any heat transfer from engine to the intercooler core, the V2 CNC machined billet alloy body features rubber core mounts to completely isolate it from engine heat.

    The billet alloy CNC machined mounting plates provide superior sealing to the supercharger and intake manifold. All alloy construction of the V2 system will not warp, buckle or crack on installation like some composite materials used in other brands which also become brittle when exposed to engine oil and heat. An equally efficient alloy front mount heat exchanger and coolant reservoir combined with reliable electric pump and O ringed assembly plumbing are included in the intercooler kit for easy fitting. One of the major benefits of the V2 intercooler designs is they are very low profile and can fit under the factory GM V6 supercharger with no hood modifications.

    • V 2 STEALTH-Appropriately named, this kit is very low profile and virtually undetectable under a factory supercharger. The Stealth kit uses the original fuel rails and cover for that OEM look. Despite its size, Stealth has efficiency to easily handle moderate boost upgrades.

    I'd say its not worth it considering you can find used IC kits on the forums for under a third of the price.

    Sounds like a zzp short stack.

    Compared to full size intercoolers
    100% same amount of labor to install
    50% cost
    25% performance increase

    I wouldn't pay that price for the thinness of that core. Does look like a SS IC.

    I'd never pay the full price for it....just never heard of any other IC set up other than ZZP/Wbody and the Phenolic IC sold individually by SSEI....saw this floating on Facebook, wondered if anyone else knew anything about them....
