Heat exchanger for blower motor 1K hp
 
Hi, We are building a 532 inch long rod blower engine for racing, I need a heat exchanger for closed water cooling, Has anyone got a good one or can recommend which product to use and what size we would need....Just cant bring myself to flow sea water through the engine
I have an EGR cooler from a Detroit DD15 but its a little big i think, although would certainly do the job and built very well..but a bit ungainly...

Thanks
Jas

Thanks guys, But we are going to use an egr cooler from a DD15, good size and really well built. I will post some pictures if it done tomorrow

Anyone have some pictures of a "off engine" set up. ? that could get the bilge kinda bulky with hoses ? , especially for a full FWC system .

Are you running a inner cooler also? If yes will it be raw or closed? I assume if closed some type of electric pump to run the water through?

I just can't bring myself to pump sea water across the intake manifold in an offshore boat so we are going to run water injection with a little methonal added, we only need 6 pounds of boost to make the power we need so the water will keep the intake temps nice and low.. Jas

The "intercooler" is separate from the intake manifold. The "intercooler" cools the pressurized intake air before it enters the "intake manifold" then into the engine. You need to run water through it typically driven by the seawater pump, which has a belt driven pulley. The Whipple coolers are made from Cupronickel and do not corrode, so you can run salt water through it no problem. https://whipplesuperchargers.com/ind...product_id=110. The closed cooling system needs a circulation pump, also with a pulley and belt driven by the engine.
