Yep, not sure what I will be able to run boost wise. My fuel system is going to be the limiting factor. At this point I will be happy to get it all on and run like 7lb or so, and have low IAT's, with it being summer I spend alot of time jet skiing and pulling the trailers. I have a feeling that 7lb with the intercooler will pull stronger then the current 9lb without. Just looking forward to not worrying about my IAT's on hot days.

 

Amen brother!

 

Are we going to get before and after IATs from you?

 

Yes you are... Before=Hot After=Cool


lol, ya I have many before logs with the outside temp and I will get some after as well. I would like to do a before and after log on the same day however not sure if it will work that way. Before= Cruising:52-58 Above ambient, WO ??? about 100 above. Ill get some exact #'s for ya. Those are just off the top of my head, the WO was a guess.

 

Couple more pics, there are more in my link in sig. Just a quick test fitting of intercooler, I need to get longer bolts for the nylock nuts that I am using.

Looks good Pat. I'm ready to see the final results.

 

Well I got everything on and took it for a drive, DAMN is it loud. And I mean LOUD. I dont even know how to describe the sound, its higher pitched then before. I havent drove it enough to tell how much of a difference it made performance wise but I can say this, it is 77 degrees out and the highest IAT I seen was 91 degrees. I am very rich at initial tip in and Ill post up a log of the IAT's I had one however I forgot to save it. It is somwhat sucking my one elbow closed, not completely but more then I would like.

There are more pics in my photobucket link below.

 

Well got some more logs, I am running very rich all over however this is fine I would rather be rich then lean. I dropped the boost when I installed it just to be safe, right now i am pushing between 5.5lb to 6lb and running rich and it still pulls harder then it did at 9.5 without the intercooler. I be doing some more playing around tom. The comp. is still learning, everytime I fire it up and drive it it seems stronger.

 

I'll give a 7.5 on the visible weld, the half point is for polishing it. I forgot to mention that mine is louder, too, but not loud loud. I hope it is the 3" tubing resonating, and that insulation will quiet it down. I hope that it is not the intercooler, acting like a flat panel loudspeaker.
Congradulations on the IAT.
Is that a 130 amp alternator? Did you upgrade? Is it larger than the 105 amp?
