Intake cooling?

All turbo All the time
I havent decided if im going to dump money into my Sy and make it crazy yet, considering i have 4 other projects. I plan to run it just to see what it does, was wondering about keeping the water portion of the air to water ic cold. I noticed the reservoir is pretty flat on top on mine other than for the filler. If i were to make a tray that can sit atop it and put dry ice or a good amount of ic in it, do you think it would keep that any colder maybe just for a run and change it between if i ran more? havent checked to see if the pump is working, its full, dont know how it would be if it wasnt working or how to check it or where to get a new one if it wasnt. Im just looking for ideas to keep the intake temp down a little in case i race it for added assurance. its truck has 81K and is bone stock

Being a 16 + year old truck, I really doubt your pump works.

Some things you can do that will cost only a couple of buck and bring your temps down.

1) hotwire the IC pump and buy a 4 dollar on/off switch
2) http://www.sytyarchives.com/howto/viewarticle.php?article_name=diy_ic_scoop.php&dir=engine
3) 50/50 mix of distilled water and antifreeze
4) new pump.

Otherwise save some cash and put in an A/A!

Re: Intake cooling?

i knew about the intercooler scoop, but i figured if the pump wasnt functioning then it might not make a difference if it wasnt circulating, but im only really familiar with air to air set ups, never had a air to water

Re: Intake cooling?

You have to get your pump working or replaced then hotwired to start with.. also a few people here have welded a tracy on top and ran dry ice with good results
