I'm using a magnuson heatexchanger setup, w/custom intercooler. I would like to try and get my IAT's down just a tad bit more. I was thinking maybe the water could be flowing to fast. I was thinking of trying to slow the water flow down. Has anyone tried this? Or maybe just add another heatexchanger.

I did try the larger storage tank but it didn't make a difference. So I put the magnacharger back on. Leaving a larger tank of water that did nothing seemed senseless. Packing ice in it worked great but I want something that works all the time.

about halfway down the page in the article they talk about slowing down the pump, they added a small 1ohm resistor to make it run at 12 volts instead of the 14 it was seeing and timed the amount of time it took to reduce the intake air temp.

 

Seems like I ought to try this. No real cost to it but time and testing. I'm just looking for that little bit extra without reinventing the system. Thanks.

 

you might be able to accomplish the same idea with a simple restriction in the line, like a smaller piece of tubing before or after the pump.

 

I have a valve that I can try....install it before the pump. Thats an easy try.
Thanks.

 

Any kind of restriction in the line will actually speed up the flow. The only way to do it is to slow the pump speed down.

 

Do you know of a source that I can just purchased something that has 14v input and has 12v output? or even something that is adjustable from 14v-8v etc.....that can handle the amp load.

 

Do the heater hose swap. Route your water throu your heater core run AC max turn temp to hot This will force your heater core to become a chiller source for your water. Then when your racing and you want it really cold add ice at that time.

 

Is this for real? or you messing around with the new guy.

 

naw its been done, My truck we did a chiller box using the ac lines. Do a quick search I can not remember the member that did it. We are going to try on our next build. Pretty simple to try it out takes probably 30min or less to pull the heater hoses from core and connect toghether, then just route your IC line through the core.
