New guy, new build

Not real sure on that, but you must have some massive injectors on that thing. 39% duty cycle at 13psi and 5500 rpm.

thats boost control duty not injectors

It does say that doesn't it! Reading is hard!

Ok anyone wanna educate me on water to air intercoolers and maybe show your set up? Where are you guys putting the radiator? What about the tank?

[buguy]

I put my tank up front. Rule brand 1100 gph bilge pump. Small heat exchanger with a small fan up next to the trans right above the driver's side axle. I think the package tray would have been a more convenient location for the tank, but i didn't want it inside.

My tank is under my back seat, opposite of the battery, basically fills that whole cavity.
Intercooler is on my package tray. Keeps the engine compartment a little less cluttered, but required some big holes through the firewall. Only takes me an hour or two to change spark plugs
Heat exchanger is in the same spot as Buguy's.

pump and fan just always on? is it just distilled water or other stuff?

[buguy]

No i have mine come on at like 100 degrees and 1100 rpm or something like that. Running mine at idle affected my idle quality , so i set it where it wasn't on while I'm at a stoplight. I just run distilled water.

[Bruce.m]

Good idea. Pump & fan can draw a fair amount of amps which isn’t ideal, when the alternator is pushing out limited current at low rpm

[buguy]

For sure. I'm lucky if i get 13v to start with, so i need all the help i can get.

[Chip Birks]

Mine didn't start moving fluid until a certain IAT, or once she started making boost. Fan came on at a set water temp if I remember right.

[buguy]

It's usually 80-95 degrees year round here, so mine pretty much needs to be going all the time. Also my intercooler is tiny, as is the radiator and fan, so it doesn't do a ton of work.

[chriswillrise]

Finally feeling pretty good. I’ll just have to deal with high temps without an intercooler I guess! This is with a #4 4gph meth nozzle spraying pre turbo, 16lbs of boost and no pinging

Is your IAT 197.6°F ?
