http://www.eatoninside.com/showthread.php?t=1327 Killer Chiller exposed.

 

What you're looking at there is just an oil-to-water oil cooler. They've been around for a while. I just put one on my race car because I didn't have room for a big enough air-to-oil unit which is what most vehicles have. I don't think anyone has patent rights to those units.

I haven't looked that closely at the killer chiller because I basically don't believe in the design. It will heat-up after long runs so it's only good for bursts at best. That's just fine for many folks needs. It also may have very different coolant flow charcteristics than a simpler air-to-water unit. So a direct copy no.

why would it only work for a short burst? if the freon is keeping the plates cool.

 

there's guys that road race with the unit with decent results

 

What has been uncovered is the plate type heat exchanger killerchiller is using. This one you can buy for about $79 (instead the $750 from kincaid, where you buy the idea and some connectors/tubes...).

Here is where you can buy the heat exhanger, and then you can make your own:
