yea... hi... how are you. I had an intercooler on the Maxima with the Vortech supercharger. I looked nice, but was way too small for the CFM I was pushing. I have since replaced it with a strait pipe and it works phonenomial. You have to realize, the supercharger doesn't really heat up the air to a level at which it's going to be detrimental to the engine. So all you really have to do is avoid getting the air any hotter. I didn't like how the stock kit (no offense to Stillen, becuase it's a perfect kit when no cutting is necessary) runs right over top of the exhaust manifold and right behind the radiator. That heats the pipe up to the point that I can't even touch it. So what'd I do? Rerouted the piping away from that. Now I have what you could call, a front mount bypass pipe. You can use an intercooler on it, but it's unnecessary. Boost drops a few PSI with my set up, you may want to think about doing a 3.33" pulley. If you DO get an intercooler, make sure you get the right size. A DSM 178 core is a good size one. But the set up I have right now with the piping that's just routed away from the engine bay, works GREAT. If I ever do put an intercooler back in there, it's for show. This is my experience with it, take it for what it's worth

~500cfm should be enough for 10psi @ 6500rpm, a little smaller would be ok also because at 5500rpms you would oply be pushing ~7psi and that needs ~350cfm.
And by the way Cheston, can you please tell me what you know about how to make a 96' ecu work in a 98' so the check engine light dosent come on. I've e-mailed and pm'd you a few times and gotten no response. CAN YOU HOOK ME UP PLEASE!!!
damn jeff you deleted my ECU information..
anyway.. cliff notes Matt..
i am not sure if the 96 ECU works with the 98 ECU..
but a guy named chucky from LI had a 98 ECU reprogrammed by JET .. he had a white supercharged 98 AUTO

Sprint's right, you really have to figure out the right size core to use. Too big, too much pressure drop. Too small, becomes a restriction. I'm planning on using a DSM 178 core used by a lot of guys who flow about 550-600cfm with their turbos. I actually want to lower the boost slightly on my car b/c i'm running lean at the top end. Not to mention, that sucker will look good sitting in the front 
by the way Doug, you're ugly too hehehe, told ya I'd say something stupid.

Yes, she is my girlfriend. Yes, her truck is intercooled. Yes, she does know what the hell she is talking about, too bad some people didn't even give her a chance to help.

It's totally her choice whether or not to contribute. But in the 6-7 posts that she had the opportunity to do so, she choose not to provide anything usefull. I'm glad she knows alot, but it's unfortunate she didn't choose to share before she chose to flame/disrupt the forum.
Questions or problems? PM me.
