Default air to water/aftercooler/intercooler

what does the cobra have and what is it actually called?

also, i know that it has its own antifreeze or whatever system seperate from the engine to cool the heated pressurized air.
but my question is where does that flowing water go to?
does the super charger have a radiator lookin thing under the supercharger?
or does the supercharger just have water ports machined it to it?(similar to an cylinder head)

im just curious on how that works.

The air goes through the heat exchanger which cools the air before hitting the blower.. once it hits the blower it has an intercooler mounted underneath the blower, which cools the air after it hits the blower - which goes directly into the motor.

not saying you are wrong kazp but in other words
the s/c has its own cooling system. water circulates past the hx mounted in front of the radiator, where incoming air cools the water, that cooled water then passes through another hx mounted under the blower where that cooled water cools the compressed air coming out the discharge of the blower. that in turn heats the water which is then sent back to the hx in the front of the car.

thank you pcs that is exactly what i wanted to know.

now in further question im going to ask, do you have your stock heat exchanger on your car, or an aftermarket? is there really a reason for a bigger one?

bigger the heat exchanger the bigger the capacity.. I would recommend a Dual Pass Heat Exchanger... when you put them side to side the difference is noticable.. as it is at the track or while running it a lot.
