I use to work for Eaton corp. t the Marshal Proving Grounds and tested the super chargers. The problem with using a condenser or a heater core ,is they are not made to with stand the pressure and the force at the delivery end on the Super charger. What will had is that the cooling fins on the heater core or condenser will start finding there way in to the engine. The harmonics of the super charger and the heat will break down the solder and start to dismantle what ever you use. I worked on the Audi V6 super charger project and we had a problem with the inter coolers that were made buy bear for that charger and it would degrade the inter cooler to the point of sending pieces of the intercooler in to the motor. The test was run on a stand and the Super charge would run at a low end speed of 16000 Rpms and would ramp up to 18000 Rpms and would do this for 1 hour and then would be shut down inspected and put back on the stand and ran at the speeds above . this process would go on till failure of the inter cooler. Which in most cases I would say 92% would fail with in 6 hours. And start leaking coolant start to the engine. These inter coolers were made to such close Standards that each unit would have to have 98% solder coverage. So the point is at most the heater core or condenser are only designed to see at most 25 psi internal of pressure and 0 if any external were a true intercooler is designed to see high temps and very high pressures. So I would say that if a heater core or condenser was used under the Super Charger first boost would destroy it and the motor. If you are trying to super cool your Charge air cooler make one that would incorporate a condenser in front of the CAC to move cooled air in front that would cool it farther. Of course there would be some power losted but if you use a 12volt type compressor that would not put a draw as much draw on power as a compressor connected t the motor. Just a thought.
