Got most of the intercooler setup installed this afternoon. 2toneblown sent the kit with a vortech coolant reservoir instead of the small Magnuson supplied part. I had to alter the mount for the exchanger as well to fit it behind the lower air dam on my SS. I need a little more hose to complete the install. I also plan on mounting some plastic behind the lower opening to direct all air directly at the exchanger.

 

Looking good!

 

Looks good bro, how did you like the way the EVAP tubing runs through there?

 

Evap sucks. Very tight as it sits now. Got more fish to fry before I screw with that stupid thing. Actually, if you look real hard, you'll see I don't have a hose from the bottom of the evap into the intake. I ran out of the small stuff, so its just purging into nothing right now.

 

That just does not bother me.....Man you are ****!

 

How strong is the water pump that comes with the Radix kit? Does it move the coolant through there fast enough? It there a problem if I've mounted my pump at a 45* angle instead of straight up and down?.

 

Mine was pumping like a **** today.

 

You can mount it anyway you want. It is the SAME pump that comes on the Lightning and Cobra YOu dont want to blast the coolant through the H/E and the I/C. It needs to spend some time in there to do its job.

 

Yep, I gotta fix that there tubing, looks like you could cut it off at the fixtures and reroute some other type of tubing.

 

It is important for you to leave the tubing from the factory on there. That is a VERY important part of the CARB number.
