Intercooled Magnuson - Quick update
The release date for this system is still around January 1st and pricing should be available in the next week or two. It is expected to be about $1500.-$1800. more than the current system. It will make about 50 horsepower more than the non-intercooled kit and produce 7# of boost. This one will come with an in-tank fuel pump and the air temp sensor has been moved to a location that will provide better readings. The intercooler will make a big difference in the air temps. They should be reduced from 200+ degrees to about 110.
As always, more info will be posted as I receive it.

In pics I've seen-it uses a water to air unit that is small enough to fit on tip of the battery area, the way the hoses appear to run it looks more like an after cooler where the air is cooled just prior to entering the heads through the intake manifold as opposed to cooling prior to the maf. the hood currently used should not be affected at all---

Re: Intercooled Magnuson - Quick update (NEPTUNEBILL)
Hi Guys -
check the pictures at Magnacharger.com. Posts from Andy and others around the forum indicate it is no taller than the nonintercoolered version, as the IC is now built in to the intake manifold.
what you're seeing is the water reservoir for the intercooler, which sits right under the outlet of the blower. Somebody posted that there is a small radiator mounted in the front of the car that will cool the water, so there must be a pump somewhere to circulate the water.

Re: Intercooled Magnuson - Quick update (Ryan Bell)
The intercooled version will either sit at the same height or possibly a little lower than the non-intercooled kit.

Re: Intercooled Magnuson - Quick update (tbyrne)
How much boost do you think that the 3.0 pulley will produce? At 18,000 RPM what would you anticipate the boost level to be? How much does the 200 degree reduction in temp produce in HP at the same boost level? How much does the intake temp rise per lb of boost? Currently with the 3.2 in pully no cats max boost is 8.2-8.3 but requires min 100 octane to avoid detonation.
:steering: You also mention that at 6200 the blower would be at 15,500 but the red line is 6700 so how does that additional RPM equate to blower speed

Re: Intercooled Magnuson - Quick update (SuperZ)
I'm not in the office this week so I don't have all of the numbers. The intake temps will be going from over 200 degrees to just over 100. This will allow the motor to make more power and safely be able to handle more boost. Blower speed will increase with the engine's RPMs. Looks like you are seeing less bost with the mods that you have. A 3" pulley should get you into the 10# range.

If the new unit is slightly lower than the current model, does this mean we could use the stock hood or would you still recommend an aftermarket hood that provides more clearance?

" The intercooler will make a big difference in the air temps. They should be reduced from 200+ degrees to about 110. "
That would be great. I am glad to see others are seeing those high temps, not just in IL. I'll bet on a 50 degree day, you might see only 70-80 degrees coming in! That alone, will net more than 50 rwhp for sure.
While we're on the subject does anyone know if other performance shops add their own intercooler design to put out more power? :confused:

Re: Intercooled Magnuson - Quick update (DDSLT5)
I want to upgrade to the intercooled version. Do I send my current mag back to Magnasun for the upgrade? How much is the upgrade? Who do I purchase the upgrade from? How soon can I send off my current magnacharger for the upgraded conversion?

Re: Intercooled Magnuson - Quick update (vettewreck)
The upgrade will be available directly from Magnuson (no discount for dealers on this product). They can be reached at 1-805-642-8833. The upgrade should be in the $1550. - $1750. range. This should be ready right around the 1st of the year. The complete kit should also be ready to go then.
Hope this helps,
Tom
