Well I will soon be a member of the Maggie club, I got a TVS2300 on order. I have just been pondering a couple things and wanted to see what others input is. First off what has everyone found to be the best way to run there water for the intercooler. I have seen some with it going to the water tank then the blower and vise versa. Just wondering what the most effective routing would be. I have one of Trick's 1.5gal Alum tanks that I am going to use as my water tank and my HX is the larger one used on the NNBS trucks. My previous blower was a A2A setup so I am trying to learn the best for a A2W now. Also what is everyone using for Fluid in there intercooler, my truck stays parked over the winter in my heated garage so I dont care to run a bunch of antifreeze in it however I know straight water isnt the best either. Maybe distilled water with a couple bottles of Water Wetter or something?

 

Congrats! you're going to love that blower.

 

I use roughly an 80/20 water/antifreeze mix

 

I run di water with a bottle of wetter plus about 2 cups of dexcool

 

I run mine from the I/C to the res, to the pump, to the H/X, and back to the I/C. Ice the res at the track, fresh ice each run.

Water with water wetter in the summer, one ounce per quart of water, for the racing season, then I switch to Dex/water.

 

That routing is what I was thinking.

 

Wont the ice water then go through the HX first. and if its hot outside help warm the water before it goes into the blower.?

if using ICE, I would think tank / pump / ic / hx / tank, . But could be wrong.
Making sure not to OVER stuff ICE.

 

i tried using frozen 8oz water bottles last track day. they were melted by the end of the pass...thats for sure....and it didnt dilute the mixture i have...just drained some into a bottle...then dropped in a couple frozen bottles.

 

I stuff 5 frozen bottles in mine. More is better. Takes longer before the IAT's begin to rise.

Shorten up your burnouts too.

 

This how I do them. Why heat the ICE water up buy running it though the heat exchanger first?
