Intercoolin...

What you guys think would be the best koolin system? Alki/H20 or that plus NOS on rhe intercoolers plus jet fuel and some 20 lbs or the usual way? Or the usaual way here, u know the chip, turbo. injectors, gas pump and all that stuff.

ok, is it me or when I read this does it not make any sense at all.

1. air to water is good but it tends to get heat soaked for around town driving for extended periods.

2. air to air is the way to go if you street race on a regualr basis, there is little to no heat soak.

3. spraying alky/water/meth will drastically reduce your inlet air temps, and works great WITH either one of the intercooling systems mentioned. but you need to tune it more cause of adding extra fuel in the spray.

4.

I am assuming you mean spraying nitrous directly on the intercooler while running c-16 or 110 octane and running 20 lbs of boost? If so then spraying nitrous does a good job of cooling the air, but I don't think I would use it one air to water, might end up freezing some of the water and restricting flow. as far as running high octane all the time and lots of boost, sure it will work but will get very expensive.

5. the usual way on a SyTy is with the stock air to water intercooler, and some very impressive numbers have been put down usint it. Just do a search on TookyCat's truck. It might help explain the alky injection as well.

hope this clears some up for you.

It did Don, thanks a lot for the advise on the sparayin NOS on a wet intercoolin system tip.

I'd spray it after the intercooler personally, if it's like an air to air the hotter your air is the more efficient your intercooling is, so you may as well maximise the results. I've heard of people running a secondary exchanger in the back of syclones before with a cooler, filling the thing with ice and partying on that way. Have any of you ever put meter on your vehicles to monitor your air intake temp sensor at all? Not really something that's necessary I know, but still a thought to toy with. Another thought is wrigging it to where your timing was at least partially controlled by your AIT sensor, if it's not already, as it'd allow more advance at cooler temps and retard at high temps as a saftey measure. Then again to add this kind of functionality would probably be near impossible on a stocker ECM if it's not there already quite frankly.

It is there already. You can add timimg as temps drop such as when the alky starts spraying.


Word of the day "wrigging"

seems to work well for a race truck or track situation, but would be a bitch to run on the street. Cause ideally you would have your tune set for the really low IAT's but running around going to the grocery store(when most street races happen) you are probably not going to fill up the "ice tank". then you are running a cold air tune off normal air temps.

I personally think the most ideal setup for our trucks would be....... a nice air to air to knock off most the heat and not get heat soaked, and then a nice fogger NOS system, just a small shot, like 50 or 75 hp, with a very good engine managment system. You would get the maximum cooling from the nitrous without having to tamper to much with the fuel tables, as well as a free flowing intercooler like the air to air. IMO the smaller the shot of nitrous the better, using it mainly like spraying alky, to run higher boost and cooling, except you would get better distribution with a fogger setup.

nitrous sucks

nitrous sucks

go with a alcohol or methanol injection setup , youll be very pleased once you get your tuning on point .Nitrous kits run as much as these and if you check the group purchase area you'll find a real nice kit with nice reviews so far .
