If more water = more better.
Then wetter water = better water?

I suggest always running at least a bit of coolant or water wetter to prevent corrosion and it acts as a slight lubricant to the pump depending on what pump you run.

I spoke to customer service at SCOL and they stated they are in the process of creating a larger intercooler for the TVS blowers. They said they are expecting it to be ready late Summer

that would be a nice addition. Just need a larger (thicker) core and a spacer between the upper and lower tub. It would help a lot on setups that are leaning on it.

Mine gets stupid hot, but its not a typical setup either


Top section, yellow line is pre-blower boost from the turbos (both are intercooled), and purple is total boost after the blower.
Bottom section, white line is air temp in lower manifold.




New intercooler setup im working on removes the 2 tanks from the engine bay and moves to one big one in the bed, also does away with the front heat exchanger. Hopefully itll IATs start at something less than 130F. This is with 2x 14gph meth nozzles spraying pre blower also. IAT sensor is in lower manifold.

Looks like
you could raise your blower at least an inch.
Is there an intercooler(s) between the turbos and the blower?

Have you built a blower intercooler in the past?

Yes, and still do. The Maggie 112 or 122 back years ago. We build a larger core. Was posted here on PT I believe we went to more rows. Its been a few nights back.
And still to this day, we build the largest and best cooler for the Ford Lightings.
We use a bar and plate design. Depending on air temps, POST IC it may not be worth it for most. 140 and below I would not worry about it.
After 140 I would say need to be look in to. If you are going for max effort power potential.

Also just increasing the inter cooler size is not the end all as it will help some but?
It is a complete package you have to look into.
street/race pulling. Increase in water volume will add time to how soon the water gets hot, but if that is all a person changes, and he makes long drives, that water will still get hot.
Larger HX will help cool what ever water you are using, but will not get the water below ambient.
Pump volume, is a trade off. Inter coolers need the most water turn over as possible. Higher flow pump is needed.
HX do not. they like a slower water flow.

So its back to the package deal and what the system is being used for.

If someone needs a larger inter cooler it is doable.
