Re: Building A Water To Air Intercooler
What about some kind of coating? Like a ceramic or heat insulating type?panel wrote:Also don't forget to insulate it...........viewtopic.php?f=3&t=139988

Re: Building A Water To Air Intercooler
Intercooler is done! Now I just need to pressure test it again and make sure there are no leaks.
Ended up cutting the end piece in two, then welding each one to it's respective end tank.
My welds aren't the prettiest but they get the job done.

Re: Building A Water To Air Intercooler
Well.. Almost done. I need to add some bungs for temp sensors so I can measure delta T.
I think I'm just gonna paint it black, then engine turn the front panel to match my firewall.

Post a pic of your throttle cable and linkage (cable through shroud still?).
Is that a Ford throttle body?

I will post up a pic once it is all back together. Unfortunately, I didn't have room to run the cable through the shroud like I wanted to. The intake is just too wide right there.Steve Arndt wrote:Post a pic of your throttle cable and linkage (cable through shroud still?).

Yes, Ford throttle body off a V8.. around 65mm throttle plate.

Re: Building A Water To Air Intercooler
Still working on getting the engine put back together, but I did get the engine turned finish put on the intercooler.
I plan on painting the end tanks and piping black, then clearing over the engine turned portion.

Re: Building A Water To Air Intercooler
Intercooler is installed and working well, no leaks! Took it for a drive and did some logging so I could figure out the efficiency. After it was completely warmed up, I took it out on the freeway and flogged it some.
Temp on the intercooler inlet side spiked to 245*F when on boost.
Temp on the outlet side was rock steady at 115*F, would spike to 125*F when on boost.
Ambient air temp was 80*F
So, correct my math if I'm wrong, but:
245-125 / 245-80 = 73% efficient

Re: Building A Water To Air Intercooler
Great job! Other details of the setup...are you using a heat exchanger? What size water tank?

Re: Building A Water To Air Intercooler
Tank is a small 2 gallon aluminum located in the package tray. Heat exchanger is mounted underneath, next to the transaxle.. it's just a radiator off a ninja motorcycle, with an aftermarket 10" elec fan and homemade shroud. I need to take some pictures of everything and post up. I chose that radiator because it fit in the area, plus it had 3/4" inlet/outlet that matched everything else. Pump is a Bosch part # 0 392 022 002Stripped66 wrote:Great job! Other details of the setup...are you using a heat exchanger? What size water tank?
Everything worked out great, although I don't like the idea of a tank full of hot water in the cab.. I may move it up front under the hood eventually.

Re: Building A Water To Air Intercooler
My next project is gutting my gas heater, and putting a heater core inside so I can use this hot water in the winter for heat
Something like one of these..
