Are Intercoolers worth it if ice is not allowed. Will a frozen boost cooler work with coolant and be worth it

Re: Intercooler March 05, 2022 07:30AM
Couple questions. Who has a rule you can run intercoolers but no ice??? Is water injection allowed?

Re: Intercooler March 05, 2022 07:50AM
Just a small club in Iowa. Oem coolers or aftermarket without ice. Air to air is ok.

Re: Intercooler March 05, 2022 09:09AM
Can you run a separate tank of water to pump through the cooler?

Re: Intercooler March 05, 2022 10:55AM
Yes. No ice though.

Re: Intercooler March 05, 2022 01:24PM
Pour nearly frozen water in right before you hook. It’ll help a bunch

Re: Intercooler March 05, 2022 04:59PM
We used to carry a cooler full of ice water and put it in the tank just before we pulled. No ice in the tank but the water was ice cold.

Re: Intercooler March 07, 2022 11:32AM
Does it stay cold enough to help at the end of the run where you need it?

Re: Intercooler March 07, 2022 11:50AM
It will warm up but it is still better than water that starts at 90+ water

Re: Intercooler March 07, 2022 02:34AM
Super cool antifreeze and run that through.

Re: Intercooler March 07, 2022 02:44AM
^^^ This. Can get it colder than water without it freezing.

Will it stay cold enough to help through the entire run?

Re: Intercooler March 07, 2022 03:16PM
Anything is better than nothing and it will maintain an ability to chill intake temps beyond what an air to air would do when heat soaked.

A run is 10-15 seconds with high temps for less than 10 sec. You can cool antifreeze/water mixture to -40* You will be fine.

There are multiple heat displacement calculators online that you can use to get very precision with using air temp, fluid volume, fluid temp...etc.
