intercooled ATT?

[buddy]

I considered a water cooling intercooler but if going to have the water pump might as well just have WMI.

So the water in the upper intake area gets pumped into a seperate radiator right? If so where is the radiator located?

Double WOW now, nice setup, are you running some type of antifreeze in the coolant? Gets cold in Finland doesn't it ?

 

[kojo]

Yes, i use 50% water and 50% antifreeze mix in that, really needed, coldest weather this winter at my house was -34 degrees Celsius = -29.2 degrees Fahrenheit
That is wintercooling

Is that picture before complete install? how did you end up running the piping into the manifold? *I thought that was your intake manifold but now see that it is a water to air intercooler*

No bueno for me. Cooler meet corn stalk! lol I lost a filter on my amsoil kit last year that way, luckily it was the factory sized one.

It is my intake, hole behind that blue cap is welded shut and as you can see there is plate welded to that IC which is bolted to lower manifold, sorry for bad picture

I like the water to air intercooler, good setup IMO.

Kojo, do you have a way of measuring the WTA coolant mix temp?

I know of another 6.5're with a WTA IC setup. He mounted the heat shedding radiator behind the bumper using most all the space btwn the frame rails. Not sure how the overall heat shedding surface area would compare to yours. I've only seen his early data, but it showed the IC working very well most of the time. Believe his system's limitation was in its ability to get rid of heat from the coolant mix. But it took a fair bit of time/heat taken out of the intake air charge before the heat soak happened.

I like the engineering and thought in that. Reminds me of the Toyota and Isuzu diesels I saw in Thailand.
