Intercooler question

[TurboJunk]

I went to the track friday night. the best time i could get was 14.20 @ 99 mph with a 2.39" 60ft. My truck is a 2wd jimmy with a 93 ty motor. The only thing i didnt put was the lower intercooler piece( the radiator) so theres no water running thur the upper piece by the throttle body.

I was really disappointed with the way the truck ran. I have the TY rear end wit 235/55/16 goodyears.i had 20psi in them. borla catback3" with no cat, external wastegate ( to solve overboost problem) i have a stock converter with a good tranny. the most i could leave with was 2pounds of boost.

Can anyone see why the truck isnt even as fast as a stock ty. im 500lbs lighter. could it be the intercooler or am i missing something

Re: Intercooler question

2WD. Yes you need the lower IC, thats the whole point of the W2A. It has to circulate in order to keep it cool. Youll knock your IAT's down a shitload if you put the lower piece with pump on it. But I would say the 2WD drive is gonna keep you having slow launches. I launch with 12-14 lbs with no creep and just a chirp from the tires. However, your MPH is way better than mine, Im usually runnning 14.1 @ 95ish. Im also at higher altitude, Ild like to think Ild be 13.9ish at sea level. I use 255/50/16's though. Not sure how much a difference the tires make. What year is the Jimmy?

Re: Intercooler question

add the lower IC then bring a cooler with a couple bags of ice next time, place a bag on top of the upper IC between races and circulate the pump every 5 mins or so. It'll bring your IC temps down bigtime!!

Re: Intercooler question

Would think aside from your ic issues... you would be having tons of traction issues.. I'd invest in some sticky tires for track use and maybe some caltraks or something like that to help with the traction.. because with 2wd vehicles traction can be tuff on el cheapo tires.
BTW why not just go air2air for ease of installation and so you don't have to screw around with plumbing the water2air setup in.

Re: Intercooler question

Some its because your 2wd, but to get the most out of your set up, you need a functioning IC and a scan tool to see what your engine is doing. I would expect more MPH out of your set up.

Re: Intercooler question

My trucks a 92.
DgoodHue... scan tool? like datamaster? ive been looking for something like that but i thought it was really expensive. which one do you use?
Boostedpimp ive been lookin into caltracs but i think im goin to do the intercooler first, Air-2-Air sounds alot better then having the stock water-2-air.
where in jersey are you?

tunerpro is like $30 to reg. Saw the syty aldl file is on the site now also.

includes chip software for that price also, and perfect integration with autoprom from moates.net

for $400 you can have real time chipping, datalogging, burning, etc...

how can you beat that....

isn't turbolink ~200

datamaster ~100 or something?

and all it does is record aldl?

Re: Intercooler question

I have both updated aldl and bin def. files for us and tunerpro.

You can get going for as little as $250 now, with real time emulation.

Ostrich $175
Tunerpro Reg. $30
PPI Cable $50
G1 Adaptor ~$15

This setup works GREAT. Easy to use, setup and with the new def. files I have to release tuning is much easier to understand. In fact I have a lot of tuning notes built into the tables.

You need to get those IC temp down too.Might wanna check out alkycontrol.com I've seen my IAT's drop 40 degrees with it during WOT :shocked!:

Re: Intercooler question

Knowone seems to mentin your 60's...your mph is that of a stock ty and your lighter you say...difference is that a stock ty will pull 1.7's -1.9's all day long...2.3 60's would be considered aweful...that is where a ty dips into the 13.8 times vs. your jimmy.

Not to derail the thread but I have the exact same setup I picked up a few months back and it works great EXCEPT the datalogging which I cannot get to work. Do you have a special build or did you have to do any tweaks to get it working?

You're having problems with the cable??

By any chance are you using a USB adapter??

If it's non-operational, I'll switch it out for no charge.

when you connect, sometimes you need to send the silence ecm command a bunch of times. Mark is working on that issue. Not a big deal really.
