It all depends on the depth of the pickup and the height of both the strainer and the intercooler itself.
I'm just like you in that I did not want to rob water from the engine. I run my engines ice cold and want as much water as I can get. Also, like I said before, they just don't need it at idle. With the efi engines, puddling could be a problem. Since I'm using high impedence injectors, I can only get 65lb injectors. I have to run 10 injectors to get enough fuel on the top end. It makes it very touchy to control at idle. I have never run water through the intercooler at idle, but I think it would cause a problem with puddling. I'm sure I could tune it out, but why bother. You may not have that problem with the carbs., but I would still force feed it. Eddie lookin at Teagues plumbing diagram they have 2 dumps, 1 inlet,1 pressure we have 1 in and 1 out and will put the pressure valve on the strainer to help with the spikes :ernaehrung004: :ernaehrung004: |
Shouldn't you run the water through the intercooler strainer first before the intercooler?
That was the only thing I got confused on, or am I just reading you wrong? |
Put either your pressure relief or the dump on the side instead of the transom and you may be able to see it to be sure it is flowing water.
Otherwise, you got the plumbing right. |

That is the way I plumb all of them. I never run water through the intercooler at idle, only while the boat is on plane. There is no need to run water through the intercooler if the engine isn't running hard. Force feeding it works great.
Eddie Also Mr Running Hot you can run a blower without a intercooler to 6-8 #s of boost just depends on your intake ait temp and EGTS.So idling wont hurt jack,,, Stop typing and get that bad boy running!!! and order some props :D Wazzz up Calmation bro ya going to miami?? That Skater came out awsome!!!! |

$hit i won't make it to the races ,,,need to sell the baby now !!:grinser010: |
Also 12 years of force feeding my intercooler with no strainer and no pressure relief.No problems seems to me trash only happens around the dock when your idling so no trash or sand with force feed.Cant hurt to install a strainer and a relief but I always flush mine backwards after I flush the engines..

Thanks Keith. Can't make Miami.....too busy. I would love to go but I just can't get away long enough. These engines aren't gonna put themselves together. You going? |
