Awesome write up. Why didnt that make a sticky? I think I will end up going to the junt yard and getting a radiator, and maybe build a 3/4" copper tube coil can to drop ice in. With 12ft of tube wrapped in ice I bet the temps will drop nice for the track. Since mine weighs 6k anyway, who cares about alittle extra weight.

 

From what I understand the intercooler in the blower is the limiting factor, not the heat exchanger. Most people with larger heat exchangers didnt see much of a change in IAT. I know on mine heat soak is an iat killer.

 

With the intercooler in the manifold you will suffer some adiabatic efficiency issues. The manifold intercooler will reach a temp and hold it until the vehicle cools down. With a thicker (deeper) intercooler the adiabatic will be less, but still apparent. The bigger heat exchanger will help, but only a small amount.

 

This is what i did, I will have the install done on Saturday. I will have some numbers to compare then.
