New guy with a chiller question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

NobodyCrossesChuckNorris · 06-30-2013, 03:48 PM

I've got about 2800 miles on my ZL1 and the car is incredible. The only issue I have is the loss of power in the heat of the day. I would like to get a feel for how many of you have a chiller. I would like to do a pully upgrade but I think it would be best to address the heat exchanger or add a superchiller. Any input on either is appreciated.

The RX super chiller is proven to lower temps and decrease ETs.

It would be "decrease" ET's.

And I don't think anyone has actually proved that point yet. It's been asked but no back to back runs have been made. I say "think" bc I don't remember reading about it.

I knew what you meant but I couldn't let you getaway without getting your balls busted.

ive made back to back runs with mine and its the cars engine coolant that gets too hot before the supercharger coolant does. I also showed 20 h.p gain on the dyno. very happy with my rx/chiller!

NobodyCrossesChuckNorris · 06-30-2013, 09:24 PM

Correct me if I am wrong but I think he meant back to back runs with and without the chiller to verify a difference in e. t.

I base most of my mods of the reviews of the people who have already installed/used the products. I would prefer to add a chiller as opposed to upgrading the heat exchanger but it seems only a select few people have done the chiller and I don't know if I am missing something. Are there issues with the chillers?

Ok. So share the time slips.

Slip 1. Pass with the chiller off.

Slip 2. Pass with the chiller on.

Before run 1 I'm hoping that you got the ect to the operating level. Then the comparison would be good.

Posting what you did is meaningless. Please, just the facts ma'am.

NobodyCrossesChuckNorris · 07-05-2013, 08:33 PM

Yes that would be great. I have not seen anything that proves an increase in hp at temp or any faster times with the same weather conditions.

...detriment with the ZL1. Heat soak. Get it up to operating temp with the computer awake and onboard with what your plan of action is. A couple passes does the trick. Then, get it in....but it won't be a hard charger on the strip for too long in stock form unless you cool the charge with mods.

While a Super Chiller may not be the answer for everyone look at any of my threads, pictures and reviews from customers. The AI Super Chiller is non invasive to car, completely reversible, holds Freon and best of all it works!

Not to be confused with the copy RX was making.

Here are some pics of our new Xtreme Chiller on Turbo99 2010 SS 680hp Maggie

I don't know if anyone can verify this but I have been told that anytime the throttle is beyond 85% the electronics turn the a/c compressor off. I'm not certain this is true but suspect it is because I tried to run the a/c on the road coarse when temps were over 100 degrees and it did not work well at all. If that is in fact true, then anytime the throttle is over 85% then the chiller cannot do anything because the a/c compressor will be off.

I have the SuperChiller & you are right a/c compressor will be off but on the 1/4 mile track it really does great job in staging lanes by cooling the IAT while waiting for your run .
