Engine Ice Coolant for blower
Just did a drain, flush, and fill with Engine Ice coolant. Going out in a few to test it. If I didn't have HP Tuners and the ability to turn on the pump it would have been a huge pain in the booty.

In for the data....
|
Let us know!

Maybe 1F to 2F less while cruising. 109F outside and it was running 120F to 122F IAT2. When the sun goes down I will go do some 1st-4th pulls.

Key on, engine off...

Sweet! I was just looking for this, an hour ago.

Got some good data this morning.
78F outside. 90F-92F cruising at 80mph. 100F cruising at 100mph in 5th. 104F-110F cruising at 110-120mph in 5th. Slowed down and let it get to 92F IAT2. Did a pull to the top of 3rd and 4th. 120F IAT2 at the top of 4th. Did it again a couple miles later and saw 122F IAT2. I need to do some pulls when it's 100F outside. |
More data.
91F outside. Cruising at 90mph in 5th 106F IAT2. Slow down to 70mph and do a 3-4 pull to the top of 4th. Run #1 126F IAT2 Slowed down and let it cool down to 108F. The following pulls were done one after the other as soon as it hit 108F IAT2. Run #2 127F IAT2 Run #3 127F IAT2 Run #4 127 IAT2 Run #5 131F IAT2. Finally saw hot heat soak with the fifth run. |

How often does the intercooler pump come on and whats the duration of run time. I've noticed that once I started monitoring my IAT's, my temps on the IAT2 has been in the 128-154 range and that its steady until I see it rapidly drop from time to time while cruising. It's usually pretty humid and temps outside are in the 88-95 range.
What would be a normal IAT2 temp range of a stock LSA with ambient air temp of 93F? I would be very interested in using this for my car. |
Something sounds weird then. My IAT2 is 12-15F above ambient while cruising. I was seeing up to 145F with the stock blower coolant in 105F ambient temps. I would have your blower coolant level checked. It sounds like it might not be full or the pump isn't working right.

What were the comparable numbers before the coolant change?
