Jim, if you click on my profile, there is a pretty good pic of the engine. On the right side of the manifold there are 2 very larger hoses. They connect to a cupper/nickel alloy heat exchanger mounted inside the manifold between the blower outlet and the plenum area. At the other end there is an electric pump that flows about 15 gpm of coolant to the manifold and then back up front to a pair of 9"x20" aluminum radiator mounted in front of the front wheels with air flowing in from the extra wide front grill ( I have a GTO spoil, but I made a full width grill instead of mounting driving lights). The engine ECU kicks the pump on when the engine gets to 4500 rpm, 5 psi boost, or above 45C inlet air temp. It seems to work pretty well. On a 90 degree day the inlet air temp will get to about 65C which is hotter than I would have liked....but it is hitting 22 psi too, with the air coming out of the blower at 180C (355F), so I guess it's really doing a pretty good job.
Mark: Many thanks for the info. It looks a neat installation. Did you have any thoughts about maybe rerouting the air filter to a cooler spot? Or is the intake air temp not all that affected by engine-bay heat. Regards, Jim
...yeah, it's on the list. I'm sure it will help...although honestly if I pick up 10 or 20 hp it really doesn't much matter, it's got pretty now.
