srt4 in 2 door L body

[mark]

im trying to mount a srt4 intercooler on my charger and ran into some problems getting the front end apart. is there any way to sneak the srt4 cooler into place without dismantling the whole front end?

I don't recall all of the detials, but I know that I have some info about an SRT4 IC in a charger on my web site.

Yes there is, I just installed one in my GLHS. I'll have some pics up in a moment.

Well I'll have to post pics tomorrow, PhotoBucket and my dial-up connection are being ghey and slow :( But anyway, you basically lay it in flat, right over the bottom of the lower valence. Of course for it to work properly you will have to cut out a section of the valence under the I/C core.

Okay got some pics.

I even manged to make it work with the stock airbox

And it's sleeper too, can't hardly see it from the front.

is that more or less effective than when rotated 90 degrees to the air flows through the cooler. I'm guessing less but if wrong please let me know.

thanks for the pics!

i found your site last night, and checked out those references. it looks like i gotta take the front nose off to install it how I want to (just like the L body example link on your site)

getting to those 5 bolts on the front fender is gonna be fun.

Not sure, but it shouldn't be much less efficient. My theory is, that since over the car is a low pressure area and under the car is a high pressure area, the air will rise up through the I/C and work pretty much the same way.

Also I plan on building a scoop for it too.

Ducting is really the way to go. I had a much larger IC turned like yours on my turbo coupe when I had it, and truth be told, I think I would have been better off with the stocker.

You're close...

the front of the car will see higher pressure, due to the stream tube captured at speed, this is what feeds the radiator. Under the car will be a bit LOWER pressure, this is because of the air dam, and the acceleration of the air as it speeds into the slot under the car, this is why air goes thru the radiator and then under the car... So long as the opening on the bottom of the nose where the IC is, is shaped to the core of the IC and ducted TO the IC, the low pressure under the car will suck air thru it from the fascia in front, and it wont hinder flow into the radiator. Now, put a small L shaped bracket in front of the leading edge of the IC core under the nose, have it drop 1-1.5 inches and you'll never overheat or heat soak that IC ;)
