I see you guys incorporate the IC right below the Supercharger itself, will this design be a W2A setup? Can't imagine how else it would work otherwise. And if so, having a hard time accepting it'll cope given how bloody hot these VQ37's run. And if a W2A setup, how big will the Heat Exchanger be?
How much heat do these type of Superchargers generate into the charged air, a lot or little? ...relatively to say a Centrifigual SC or Turbo I guess. Also will you provide any way to be able to meter boost and IATs after IC?
Sorry for all the questions... just very curious and trying to wrap my brain around it all.

Wow lots of questions here. I think some of these have already been answered in the thread. But I will try to answer them as best I can:
1. This is a water to air setup.
2. The intercooler itself is designed and capable of cooling a whipple 2.9L safely beyond 1000whp. The RJ MFG guys have been in talks with bell for a while on this.
3.the heat exchanger will be appropriately sized I am guessing to support the higher hp numbers. They have talked about double and even triple pass systems along with using a high pressure pump. All good signs that the system will get plenty of cold water.
4. I do know one of the reasons for going with the whipple unit is because of its efficiency and cooler operating temperatures. Runs cooler than centrifugal superchargers and turbos as well as more efficient. They looked at multiple brands but the whipple unit kept being the desired unit.
5. As with any twin screw setup there will be ports for measuring IAT. The renders they have shared do not show the whole kit in its finalized form. I can see several items they have left out and I know they are working on.
