VMP Intercooler core upgrade in our 03 Cobra Project redfire terminator Mustang.
We explore before and after coolant flow testing while data logging it into our MS3Pro as well as vlog of the process of swapping it out on a gen 5 3.0 liter whipple supercharger.

Great video and appreciate you taking the time to do a back to back comparison. Looking forward to your next video. I have been waiting to see results like this as I need to make the upgrade. A VMP unit will be one of my future upgrades.
Thanks, I was very curious myself on the results. Definitely a solid piece.
Great content. I've been wanting to upgrade to the VMP unit too. My little 2.2 KB is a freakin toaster
Yeah I bet it is. Those 2.2s are known for their heat. This Whipple spun really hard is no slouch either at making some heat lol. It's a great test for what kind of heat it'll dissipate.
Do u wanna sell the 2.2 kb?
Love the content! I’ll be swapping my 2.9 crusher on this winter so your videos have been an awesome education for me. Looks like I’ll have to really consider this VMP unit while I’m there
It's definitely super impressive. I have a follow up video I'm working on with it on the streets getting hammered and putting it through the paces and testing how it does in real world conditions.
Great work and great video love your attention to detail ! Keep them videos Coming !!
Thanks Jamie, appreciate it.
Great video as always! I had the same issue with the supplied bolts being too long on a kenne bell.
That’s good to know. I wasn’t sure if it was just the blower or what the deal was. Thanks for the confirmation.
Awesome video, please keep testing. Don't change anything about your channel
Thank you. I appreciate the kind feedback. I’ll keep working at it :)
Heck yea. Great to see the improvement over the modded stock. I have the vmp core to go on my kb2.2. Also have a Department Of Boost super single and their powa pump. Should move some serious water.
Agreed the improvement is impressive, surface area and flow. I bet your setup will be awesome.
Love this series
Awesome. Thanks.
I feel like doing this to my eaton car, just because of age and wear and tear. cant hurt! thanks for the great video.
You're welcome and Eatons put out a ton of heat so not a bad way to go at all.
Those are impressive results. I’ve been thinking of getting that for mine. I already have an Afco Pro heat exchanger on it
That would be a good combo. I have a video coming soon of installing a GT500 sized AFCO in these cars and what it takes to make all that happen.
@@MalcolmV8 That’s awesome, wonder how that compares to the Afco Pro
Nice work
Thank you.
Good video bro. Exceptional video to be honest 👏. I have been convicted in to upgrade or not to upgrade. Keep making videos brother. Start a patronage so I can send donations for your contributions.
I appreciate the kind words and glad you're enjoying the content :) I don't have a patronage and likely won't right now as I don't feel right taking donations. However I'm thinking about getting a t-shirt guy to design some cool designs based on the cars on the channel and then guys who want to support what I'm doing and help it grow and get some merch in the process. I'd be a lot more comfortable with something like that.
Great video series you put together. I'm actually in the process of installing the VMP Gen3R along with their I/C and 1" manifold in the Cobra. It took several months to get both the I/C and manifold as both were on backorder. I was wondering if it was actually going to be a significant improvement in flow and you just showed that it is. Great work. I also plan on doing the Gt500 or DoB super single h/e along with the EMP pump and full 1" conversion as well so I'm looking forward to your next video on that. Will you be installing the MAF tubular crash bar as well?
Thanks Tony. Glad the video helped :) and yes the parts delays are very real across all products right now.
This car already has a tubular crash bar in it but I’ll show what’s needed.
Is there a how-to on wiring up the EMP WP32 pump to the Cobras? I am guessing it takes a bit of rewiring to get this to fit since they're not mustang specific, right?
It's certainly a bit of custom wiring yes. They have a heavy current wire that goes to a battery source and then a lower current trigger wire to make it turn on.
I have a 2003 cobra that I want to get a new tune on. I’ve seen you tune a lot of cobras trying to find out how to get a tune from you. Thanks
Hey Kevin, thanks for the inquiry. I'm maxed out on that front and not taking on any new tuning customers at this time. I appreciate the interest though.
Did you ever have to remove the blower & install the support rails for the vmp IC? I know people that are running high boost were having issues with the ic flexing and cracking.
I did, as soon as I heard about them I called VMP and got a set sent out my way. Luckly my IC was not cracked when I pulled the blower.
Would you say the Cobra Engineering manifold would be a better choice to go with the VMP intercooler?
Since I haven’t actually gotten my hands on one yet it’s hard to answer. Hopefully I will in the future and have an answer then.
How do you feel about modded stock cores? Found one for a good price and I’m debating if it would be worth it. Plan on using it with 1” lines and a dc150 pump in the stock location and a dob super single
Well they do flow a little more than a bone stock core so that is some improvement. I tested that many years ago. The VMP core is way better but it's also very expensive. A stock modded core would be a good budget option for sure.
Curious if you were able to get the full 1 inch manifold transfer tubes installed and if there was a noticeable improvement in flow vs the original tapered tubes in the video?
Not yet. I’ve been working on other issues and projects. However I will be coming back to the supercharger cooling system in the future, including those intercooler tubes. I’m more concerned with that current manifold leaking past the orings more than anything else.
@@MalcolmV8 Thanks man. Really enjoy your content. I'm a data guy and love seeing real numbers with all of the variables considered. I'm considering the same version of this IC brick for my 2013 GT500, so really interested in the flow data for 1 inch lines.
@@guevoncito6265 I appreciate the feedback and also really like getting data on everything because all the opinions out there and hype are sometimes so wrong.
I don't expect huge gains swapping out that 3/4" manifold as it's one tiny pinch point in the whole system which was all 1" lines. I find that the cores themselves will only flow so much and you reach a point of where inlets and outlets are not a big issue anymore. If you saw my heat exchanger upgrade video I increased the barbs on it from 3/4" to 1" and gained 1.2 GPM. It's still something but nothing even close to all the hype that surrounded that mod.
@07:05 my 2.3 whipple didn’t have does caps when I received it and put it back together I think that’s why I’m ready 16 1/2 lbs of vacuum at idle instead of 20
It's definitely a small vacuum leak. My idle went rich after plugging those holes and fixing the injector o-rings.
@@MalcolmV8 I think I found the plug online, it’s called the base plate bolt of I’m not mistaken. Was it hard to install? Or just pull the whipple out and hammer the bolt in there? Sorry for the dumb question
@@modlist6129 it's a plug or cap looking item. I purchased directly from Whipple. I actually made a little tech tip video on how to remove and install them that'll be ready for upload in a few days. But yes essentially hammer down with a square and dead blow. It's possible to knock them in too far and then you have a leak all the same and need to drill them out and try again.
@@MalcolmV8 I’ll be waiting for the video! Thanks for the reply. Ima order some from whipple right now since im not done with my tune yet
@@modlist6129 you're welcome.
Hey do you still get on svtp much?
Not much no. Why what's happening there?
Nothing, I just had some questions about disability of the caged pulley
@@uavmech03 I have a FB group called "03-04 Cobra Terminator Tech" where you can ask questions. Lots of smart guys in there and I try and help as much as I can in there too when I get a chance.
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Malcolm or what's the name of his shop?
I’m MalcolmV8 on FB or MalcolmV8Builds on IG. Can always follow me there and message me.
