I would like to know how the water to air intercoolers work. How does the water keep from getting hot and staying that way. What are your IAT sitting at? Cruising and after a WFO runs. Is there a pump or is the water just sitting there? I have no clue.
Two things concern me. 1. Heat soak of the water. 2. Bulk of the setup.
I know a Grand National that runs ice water into the intercooler. It is a nice setup however, it isn't for the street. The intercooler box is bigger than a basketball and there is a box of the water in the truck with a pump.
Any help and info would be great.

 

There is a heat exchanger directly under the supercharger with a inlet coolant hose coming outlet side of the intercooler radiator and a outlet coolant hose hooked to a electric water pump leading to coolant resavoir to the inlet side of the radiator.The IAT is located in the intake manifold downstream from the heat exchanger.You can pack the resavoir with ice but the system never gets hot enough cause a major heat soak problem.

 

I would like one for my ATI setup. How big is the coolant tank? I wanted to know what your intake air temps are sitting at? After driving around for awhile what is the temp of the water? Could you use the windshield washer tank? Sorry for all the questions.

 

The system holds about 1 gallon of coolant I guess the resavoir holds about 2 quarts,the radiator holds about 1 quart and the hoses and heat exchanger hold the rest.I've been tempted to double the size of the resavoir and add a larger opening to better facilatate the use of ice at the track,shades of your buddy's Grand National race setup.

 

I'd be thinking the same thing. Or at least a superchilled water / antifreeze mix.
