Here is a picture of the heat exchanger/cooler that mounts behind the bumper cover:
This is where the heat is removed from the intercooler fluid. Last edited by SC2150; 09-05-2010 at 04:34 PM. |

So this isn't an auxiliary cooler, it completely replaces the current system's intercooler?

Neat idea, so you will be able to turn the "super chiller" part on or off right?

Okay - let me see if I can understand this:
You are interrupting the flow of the SC intercooler coolant by running it through this chiller. You are tapping into the A/C line to run refrigerent through the chiller to cool the coolant. So, the individual will use the chiller in addition to the SC intercooler's heat exchanger? A person can also control the chiller circuit independently of the passgenger compartment climate control and either split the refrigerent between the two or solely run all the refrigerent through the chiller? I see three ports of what looks to be about the same size on the chiller and one smaller one. Is the smaller one for the refrigerent line and the two others for the coolant? I don't quite understand what the forth port is for... Also - is there a return line for the refrigerent, too?

Absolutely. These are the question I want to see in this discussion. There has been a ton of R&D put into this and the working units are doing great after app 6 months in use on a few test LS powered cars. |

How long will the cooler temperatures last at WOT after the compressor disengages?

I would assume that when you turn it off it wouldn't last very long, just like your a/c does. I bet your wondering if it will last long enough for a run without the drag of the a/c compressor, right?

As for a road-racer, the question would be "will the drag on the engine from the AC compressor wired to be engaged at WOT as well outweigh the benifits of the cooler air charge temps?" Thats an unknown at this time, but the GTO running this for the past 6 months or so is street & dragstrip driven with excellent results. Good question though! |

I am very currious to see how your chiller performs, I like the idea of the shut off to the evap and just freon to the chiller. The only negative I see is that the unit is not insulated like the KC is, do you plan to insulate it? |
