Default Vortech aftercooler question

I just recently bought and installed a Vortech, but it didnt come with the aftercooler....does anyone know or has anyone made a aftercooler kit to run on there s/c....I looks like all I need is an oil cooler from advanced auto parts, some type of resevior(I was thinking winshield washer container or small fuel cell) and a water pump, I m going to attempt this later on this week so I need as much input as possible, also I see on all the install pics that theres only one line running to the power cooler, but on mine I have two open fittings...any help is greatly appreciated...thanks

you need a cooling chamber, i know PWR makes them in all various shapes and sizes, but i know that the piping route from the blower to the throttle body is so short i dont know if anything else will fit in there except the the vortech unit, but who know, give it a shot.

you will need something along the lines of a 3 gallon resevoir to be somewhat efficient, and i heard it has to be some kind of certain pump because of how long they run and pump.


i wonder if you could use a fuel pump?

Clock the housing of the SC and use an intercooler. No reason not to.

oil coolers suck, they barely cool the water

Go browse the Ford forums (modularfords.com, svtperformance.com) and find a used 03 Cobra heat exchanger. When they start making over 600-650 RWHP they are a touch on the small side, but nice and big for a honda.
