Intercooler

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

Couple questions. Who has a rule you can run intercoolers but no ice??? Is water injection allowed? |

Just a small club in Iowa. Oem coolers or aftermarket without ice. Air to air is ok. |

Can you run a separate tank of water to pump through the cooler? |
Re: Intercooler

Yes. No ice though. |

Pour nearly frozen water in right before you hook. It’ll help a bunch |

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. |

Does it stay cold enough to help at the end of the run where you need it? |

It will warm up but it is still better than water that starts at 90+ water |

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. |
