Default Killer Chiller Installed

Ok I thought I would go ahead and post this and soon I will have more data and pics posted soon, but the initial results seem good I see an average of 25* drop at the IAT sensor in the Radix system, I have data logged using HPtuners and normally see a IAT about 20-30 deg over ambient (temp indicated on my mirror) and today I was seeing a IAT 1-2 deg less than the ambient.
Need to keep in mind that it was only 75 deg this morning, so I may not see anything more than 90 deg for a while, so results may be different on a 100 + deg day.
I need to finish insulating my lines and reservoir and adjust (fine tune) the servicing on the A/C system. More results soon.

Interested to hear how it works while under boost, if it keeps temps from rising as fast.

I did a quick 20-110mph run this morning and it seems that you have the same change (around 45-50 deg temp change) it just starts out 25 deg lower and ends up with 25 deg less at the end of run but the temp drops really fast, the other observation I have is that the truck runs like its a cold day more power and better drivability and I also noticed 2 deg more timing advance on the pull from 20-110mph.

It should be about 90deg this afternoon so I will see what that works like.

Guess I missed out on the technology. What the hell is a "killer chiller"?

It uses the trucks A/C system to chill the intercooler fluid to about 50 F .

So you have to have your a/c running to cool temperatures? How bad was the install?

Thanks, I remember seeing that now. Looks like an evaporator immersed in the I/C coolant to super cool it. Does it run in series with the in cab evaporator? Notice any in cab loss of A/C?

From their website:

Will this system effect my in cab temperatures?



You will see about an average of 5-7 degrees increase in the in cab temps under optimum conditions, but you can also adjust the refrigerant level to have more cooling in the cab, and less in the KC, by the same token you can adjust your refrigerant levels to see more cooling in the KC , and less in the cab.
