There was many of your that were interested in our Mach II setup but also wanted something a little more bolt in, so we created the DDMWorks Bolt in intercooler for all the LNF powered Kappa's.
DDMworks 2.0L LNF Solstice/Sky/Opel GT intercooler
The best intercooler we can design for the LNF Kappa platform. This intercooler uses Extruded Core Technology to help create an intercooler that flows well and cools the incoming charge efficiently. With higher boost levels more heat is created by the turbo and this unit helps to cool that charge back dwon close to ambient to keep the engine running safe and cool.
Working with own of the leaders in cooling technology we have developed the DDMWorks LNF Kappa Intercooler. This massive intercooler uses extruded core technology to help make an inercooler that is very efficient at cooling the air and with 16 tubes gives a low pressure loss across the intercooler. The extruded core technology on this intercooler also help to allow more air to pass through the intercooler than similar size intercoolers of the bar and plate design. Using computed aided design and CFM modeling shows that normal bar and plate designs can lose up to 1/3 of the area of the distance between the plates to air turbulence. The air comes in and hits the flat front of the intercooler and has to roll through the intercooler, creating a loss of surface contact, and a loss of cooling. The extruded core technology on our intercooler has a rounded front which helps to manage the air smoothly through the intercooler, allowing more cooling air to pass through the intercooler at similar pressures. The more cooling air that passes through the intercooler, the more heat that can be taken away from the intake charge, which makes the intercooler more efficient. Also unique to our intercooler is a proprietary fin design on the small folded fins found between the main tubes. This design creates small fins on the fins, creating more area for the incoming cool air to contact and take away heat. These fins are uniquely soldered to the main tubes with a high silver content solder to further aid in the heat transfer between the extruded tubes and the fins. All of this adds up to a great intercooler upgrade able to take the demands of all but the most extreme 750hp+ builds. installation can be done by most owners, as no special tools are required to change the intercooler. Some minor trimming is required for fitment, the DDMworks Intercooler bolts into stock location, using stock brackets.
The intercooler is $950, and is scheduled to be ready for the Maryland Mod Meet 6
