Re: Melting Intercoolers
The way I have been plumbing my intercoolers was
force fed. Meaning no flow at idle and I never had a problem. I am wondering if when you dedicate a stage to the intercooler then feed it water at idle. Perhaps this causes the fuel to puddle and then ignites. Presto how do ya want ya steaks done! |

I have seen and used some setups that were force feed but also with a small -6 coming off of the belhousing coolers for a little water at idle.:D |
Re: Melting Intercoolers
So who would you say makes a better intercooler for a roots blower that is carbureted? KE? SuperChiller? TheBlowerShop? Who?

I would run the cupranickel cores KE's and whipples got them. The baddest Intercooler is the Whipple MOAC. It stands for Mother of All Coolers:evilb: Real Wide in the hips:eek: |

That is what I was told. Supposedly the EFI do fine with pressure but the Carbs don't do as well and like to be force feed or only minimal h2o at idle.

I have had excellent results with the non "force feed method" But Most of the Big engine guys are now running a stage just for the chiller. |
Re: Melting Intercoolers
Knot-right, KE did some comparitive tests on his dyno a while back. You might give him a call and see if he would share with you the differences he saw. I think his package may be hard to beat.

Actualy I have had several conversations with KE over the last few days in regards to the intercooling plumbing. I was told he dedicates a single stage of the water pump to the intercooler to run at all times. I stand with the whipple. |

Re: Melting Intercoolers
Knot-rite I was actually refering to the hp generation and efficiency of his core vs the competition. I have KE coolers and they are pressure fed. How you supply it with water is decision. I know KE likes to use a single stage but I am like you and prefer to restrict flow at idle.

at 18% with the Lee intercoolers and cupra cores. Force fed Intercooler. Ran flawless So why Screw with it? Because of some of the horror storys of PSI,s Eating Intercoolers. I,m thinking the PSI,s need the xtra cooling at low engine speeds (high vacuum). Thats why whipple added the Blower bleed ports. (screw charger) I have been instructed by Roger at PSI to start anywhere from 35 to 45 percent over to achieve what the mooneys were running. (12LBS). Roger stated that the melting of the intercooler is directly related to Sucking the carb bowls dry. After diassembly I noticed the intercooler was showing discoloration towards the rear. This was with the Monneys. Here is a picture with the new PSI adapter plate. I know quit my whining and bolt it on and Just get Ratman to throttle it!:evilb: |
