On my truck, I have a Shurflo hotwired pump, gutted engine bay, IC lines through the fender. My engine temps at the end of a run are 166* on a 55* evening, his are 177-180*. I recently had the opportunity to wrok on a friends BONESTOCK SY and he asked me to do a couple runs for him after I fixed his problem. At the end of the run, his IAT's were @144. This is a binestock truck. Mine are @ 140*. Am I doing somethign wrong? Shouldnt I see alot cooler temps? How can I fix this without parts? Is it possible something is wrong with my turbo or motor that would cause such high temps.?

Re: IAT's are high.

my temps were through the roof in my stock truck recently....I found a kinked hose down by the heat exchanger....was very hard to see....since installing alky, I've seen my temps go from 135 f to 50 f in about a quarter mile run at wot....you really need to think about trying alky....good stuff...

Re: IAT's are high.

Alky rules, I really gotta a kit for the Sy. Mike, what condition is your coolant? That could have a lot to do with it. Is the upper CCHE full? Is there a bunch of leaves/other shit in front of the lower one? You sure your IC pump is working?

Re: IAT's are high.

I have clear hoses for whole IC system. I use 50-50 and am positive the pump is working.

Re: IAT's are high.

Maybe I shouldve asked what everyones IATs are stock. I just feel that mine could be lower. Im thinking of getting an AUX heat exchanger while the motor is out. Ive also thought about relocating the IC to the front of the truck to avoid heat soak from the turbo.

Re: IAT's are high.

Mine is considerably lower than that. All I have done is Sureflo pump, heater hose through the fender well, and an aluminum scoop. Do you have a scoop?

An aux heat exchanger couldn't hurt :tup:

Re: IAT's are high.

I dont have a scoop yet but plan on putting one in this winter. What were you IAT's and on what kind of day?

Re: IAT's are high.

Don't remember exactly, but I believe they were around 140's on a 70* day
