Avg Iat?

[Vaders Sy]

I rerouted the intercooler lines on thursday. Drove the Sy around most of the day and at cruising speeds it was around 99-105 degrees (IAT). Under WOT it would lbe around the 150's. After I drove the Sy, the intercooler could use more coolant. Wanted to know if I'm in the ballpark about where they should be in 45 degree weather. Seems kinda of high to me.

Those are high, in cold weather I would expect IAT of just over 100 for WOT, Driving around they should be 80 maybe less.

Sounds like your still have some air in the system. Also make sure you didn't kink the outlet hose on the pump.

In about 60 degree weather I'm running around 65-70 degrees while driving, I will be [o]just[/i] over 100 if I get on it alot around town.

I found out this morning that the Sy is low on coolant. I added more but haven't driven it yet with the labtop. As for the air in the system, I let the IC pump run for several minutes, but it did not change the fluid level in the intercooler.

Besides, the kink in a hose, what else can I do to make sure no air is in the system? All good points about kinks. I have double checked everything, nothing is leaking. Just confused with the high IAT.
