well let me start by telling you its 90 degrees plus up in ct. right now. I have already rerouted my ic lines into the fender well , new jabisco ic pump, and hot wired ic pump. My ic feels kind of hot. Just wanted to know if there were other things I could do to lower intake temps. I heard of draining coolant from ic and replacing it with distilled water and a couple of bottles of redlines water wetter. How does this work and also about using some type of insulating material on the ic. What is it that I exactly need and where can I buy this stuff. John

Hot intakes...A2A
Hot intakes...A2A
I did the same thing on my Typhoon. Re-routed the lines all over the place...the "supply" line goes through the passenger's fender. It's been 98 degrees in Central Illinois this week, and boy that intercooler gets hot. I think it's just too close to the exhaust to be too cool. I will try some reflective heat shields next...but my ultimate solution is an A2A from Mike Lee.
Here's an idea that seemed to pique my interest a little...I noticed that lots of people put "blade of death" scoops on the bottom of their lower IC. I just took and put some spacers under one end of the IC, which angled it downwards a bit more. Maybe it would help a little to get it down into the airstream instead of behind the bumper...?

Do U still have the stock lower IC brackets on? U know, the ones that conn. to the exst. manifold? & transfer all that 800deg heat into the IC.
& then there's the fact that there's no insulation on the IC , especially the bottom, were the air is like 200+.
Alot of guys install fans on the back of the CACR, for when your not moving much.
Of course U could get one of my IC chillers too & enjoy continuous IC temps below 80deg.
