The lid is designed as a direct-fit assembly for compatible LSA- and LS9-style applications while retaining the factory sensor locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDual-brick intercooler design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gen 3 lid places two single-pass intercooler bricks side by side in an LS9-inspired layout. Kong states that each brick is approximately 83 percent larger than an OEM LS9 intercooler brick. The custom cores use an integrated O-ring sealing strategy intended to reduce hot-air bypass around the intercoolers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEliminating conventional float-tube packaging allowed Kong to extend the usable core length. The goal is lower charge-air temperature, reduced pressure drop, and greater air density at the cylinders in high-output combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC-machined billet-aluminum lid construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual enlarged single-pass intercooler bricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated O-ring intercooler sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory sensor-location compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch NPT ports positioned above each cylinder for direct-port methanol or nitrous plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless-steel plugs and installation bolts included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoticeably increased supercharger whine compared with an OEM cast LSA\/LS9-style lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitting options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e-12AN male:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kong’s recommended fitting size for most combinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e-16AN male:\u003c\/strong\u003e available for cooling systems designed around larger hose and fitting requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM LSA TVS1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKONG LSA TVS2650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM LS9 TVS2300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKONG LS9 TVS2650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eC6 ZR1 clearance note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHood and hood-window clearance can vary on the C6 ZR1.
