For an intercooler that's not currently on the market this is a winning deal...

fyi they took them off the market because they found out the gen 3 intercooler works just fine with a gen 5 blower lim setup, but I would be interested somewhat, give me a call I left you a message on sunday I was wondering if you could scan my car.




Thanks,
Brett

I think you heard wrong Brett. You can't move the outlet over on the Gen III IC without exposing the end tank and if you leave it how it is you're blocking the part of the outlet that makes a Gen V a Gen V. There were a couple people on Club GP talking about being able to do this but they were not correct.

If running a full size Probe based core intercooler you will need a Gen V specific housing.

zoomer himself told me you could do this and it would work just fine, I will see if I still have the email

From what I read in your r&d note on your main page, I can use a gen 3 intercooler core instead of a gen 5 with my 05 gtp, and have no problems with reliability and performance

i cant believe they would say that....
like mike said, without modifying it (which is near impossbile) it just doesnt make any sense to have the gen v....hmmm

found your problem right there.

that was a copy and paste of my email I received back from zzp. this is part of the article I was refering to this was not modifyed in anyway you can go to there web sight and read for your self its under zzp working hard on r & d on the main paige third down in the latest news section


The aluminum heads have been put through their paces with dozens of dyno pulls. We used Scott's SS M90 GT to test them. We shaved them for more compression and went for some A/B comparisons. We ended up with a max of 425 STD WHP giving us an M90 record. We also tested a stock blower, our ported blower and a gen 5 blower all using the same Gen 3, stage 2 ZZP IC. If your wondering if it works to use a Gen 5 on a Gen 3 IC, it does! We tested for HP loss by locking the converter on our build because the 3500 stall converter seemed to be robbing some power. We dyno'd 452WHP showing that gains could be had with a tighter converter.

Yes it works but it takes away a lot of the efficiency of the blower. There's no doubt it would physically work but you're negating having the Gen V in the first place and when someone is paying $900 to adapt a Gen V to their car for a whopping ~20hp I'd think they'd want all the efficiency they could get.
