Revolution Mini Works Water to Air Laminova cooler

Here is our new water to air intercooler system using Laminova cores. We have been testing this system for over 8 months with many track days. We will be posting data soon from real world driving and from the race course. I will be using BimCom to record the numbers. Having used a scan gauge typical track temps were in the 110F range

The beauty of this system is it only carries 3/4 of a gallon of fluid in the ENTIRE system!

Here are some pictures of the system

this actually cools better and less pressure drop, can't see why you would want a front mount

After seeing in person RMW's set up I was very impressed. It is a work of art machined from billet aluminum. If it was anodized black it would look like it was a factory piece.

Hi,

I thought the "Laminova" type system had a worldwide patent by the company that designed it in Italy. How did you get around that

Cheers

they only save bhp

it all depends upon the outside air temp as when it's really hot out the air to air will lose much more power.

We have seen 20whp gains over the air to airs when hot
