Speedriven c32,SLK32 and crossfire upgraded intercooler

As the title states this is our 32 intercooler. We sold them for awile now to the crossfire guys and have had great results. The link for crossfire guys http://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/...-got-real.html

This is a direct plug and play setup. No more buying those oem intercoolers and praying for them not to leak. Not only is this setup less expensive then oem, its an overall better performing intercooler!

How about a top mounted intercoolers? One on each side. Something like this?
It's too hot under the supercharger plus this design has more cooling capacity. But regardless, your OEM replacement looks super.

In regards to top mount we might look into those, just for the hardcore want to go fast guys. the reason we designed stock replacement ... well its just that, a improved stock replacement.

Marcin did mine about two years ago and its an awesome replacement!! Very similar to the Code 3 that was out about 4 years ago?? If your IC is leaking, this is the unit to get!!

As someone who has already replaced the OEM unit with another OEM unit, I wish these were available back then. I followed the R&D on this unit, and it's top-notch.

I appreciate you guys continuing to support our dated platform.

All the best,

Agreed! Low 12's, and dropping...

Looking forward to the 1/2-mile race in Clayton coming up on Sept. 14th... Last year, I was able to surprise a BMW M6 'Vert...

I wish these were available earlier too. I replaced a leaking OEM with a thermal coated OEM intercooler. I'd have to see how much the top mount lowers IAT's and what happens to the power before considering them. I'd buy them if they showed good results.

OEM cooler is a multi-pass unit, this is a single-pass and is more efficient at cooling the air charge. Also, the construction method of the SD intercooler is superior to that of the Garrett units, meaning no leaks.

Using the SD intercooler with an upgraded heat exchanger yields a much faster recovery time on the coolant temps... greater delta.

More details here.

Can you explain why a single pass is more efficient/better than a multi pass unit? I'm a little confused as I was reading on some lightning/Mustang forums that people were upgrading their single pass fluidyne systems to afco duel pass systems.

The Ford motors use a different blower (Eaton) vs Lysholm type that we use... Plumbing is different as well.

Quoted from the builder:

Single pass all the way. Only reason the multi pass is in there is because the OE pump couldn't move fluid through the circuit fast enough so you try to get it to spend more time in the there taking as much heat out as possible. Also remember that it originally was tied in with the engine cooling circuit so the objective was keeping the temp under 160 and having an easily maintained system vs what we are trying to do now and that is to get the intake charge as low as we can.

Yeah It makes sense that it would keep IATs down while coolant is ambient. The only thing I was thinking about is if we don't have a reservoir, wouldn't you heat soak faster since the coolant is being used much faster and is more heated by system. You think our heat exchangers will cool fast enough to keep entire system cool? I figured the dual pass was to give HE more time to cool and delay heat soak. I'm sure that he knows A LOT more than me I was just trying to understand a little more.

I actually read it again and I think they were talking about the heat exchangers not the actual intercooler, but not 100%.

Sorry for double post btw.

Yeah no problem. Just FYI most intercoolers run single pass and almost all exchangers run dual.

SLK32 & C32 rigid upper strut braces

Will after checking ever where and being unable to buy a set (front & rear) of rigid upper strut braces I've found someone to make me some. So if your looking for something to really make your handling better here is the information for you: ask for Mike Shear at Snyder Steel (321) 453-2353

Also, If your looking for headers for your C32 I've talked to Philip Bulderbergs at Eurocharged ((713) 462-1600 and they will be ordering them shortly so get in on the deal while they are there. As for us SLK32 guys, the only way we are going to get our headers, that won't cost us an arm and both legs, is by me taking my 2003 to Houston TX so they can do a fit check. If your interest please don't call me I'm in Florida, call and ask Phil now because I'm sure this will be a limited deal.
If you do have question feel free to let me know.
