Trunk Ice Tank for a Turbo Car? Interchiller? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm looking for some guidance on trunk ice tanks, and interchillers.

I have a twin turbo car. High under hood temps, high IATs, high coolant temps.

I am looking for suggestions on what to do to help with temps.

Trunk ice tank.
I'm guessing this is tied into the intercooler system? Anyone running this on a turbo car? gas station ice isn't from distilled water. Any adverse effects? How bad is the condensation in the trunk?

Interchiller
Anyone running these on a turbo car? I saw the Australian company on here that makes them. Are these crazy expensive? (I like the idea of this. Closed system, no maintenance.)

Ice tank would need air to water. Interchillers can help with iat for a run but that heat is just dumped into the Ac condenser so hat does help with under hood or other temps.

I would start with a fmic swap. If that doesn't solve it all the next options are much more expensive.

Another question is do you want to cut holes in your firewall if you run air to water. It's a smart move and will help but the pros and cons if I were you I would consider switching over to e85 which helps and adding meth injection. I'm not sure if you're putting it in your camaro so unsure what your plans were.

You can mount an air to water up front. Would be a lot of custom work, and have to tuck it up in the bumper.

Doesn't solve the ECT or engine bay temps. Just helps with IATs, which should not be an issue.

Summer is only starting. Only gets hotter from here.

Holes prob wouldn't bother me. I'm already on e85 w/ meth. I have a Hellion top mount turbo system. I'm trying to look into anything I can for heat mitigation.

The shop in Houston had a Vette with a setup similar to that. It was interesting. They're what put me on to looking at the ice tank setup.

And don't remind me about the summer! I know that all to well. But my car is not a DD. It doesn't sit in traffic. Mostly just weekend cruising and an occasional road trip.

Get the carbon fiber hood with vents in it, and run meth. Also can get a bigger radiator.
