its one bottle of water wetter to the rest water and it should contain lubricants because thats what we use at the track in our cars since we cant use coolant

 

[QUOTE=SC-S2000,Jan 25 2006, 08:11 PM] this is straight from comptech

"Fill the aftercooler with bottled water and Redline Water Wetter (620-028

 

I'm not sure about the other guy, but I wasn't vying for "points". My only purpose is to ensure the best information gets out there.

 

My summary:

When using water, use deionized or distilled water to avoid mineral build up.

Don't use plain water due to corrosion.

Water wetter added to water or antifreeze mix will increase heat transfer.

Water pump lubrication is not an issue with aftercooler pumps.

Cold climates require protection against freezing usually with a glycol antifreeze.

Water wetter being a surface active agent will allow coolant to leak easier from loose or inadequately sealed fittings.

Water wetter, antifreeze and water are all compatable.

Dilution recommendations (glycols and water wetter) are printed on the container labels. Water wetter is recommended at one ounce per quart of water.

 

i'm still observing the coolant every time i drive the car. so i'm not sure if it is or isn't a leak. is it normal though for coolant to evaporate>?

 

There should be no evaporation. The system is closed. Keep adding and look for leaks.

 

the coolant looks good so far. it might of just taken awhile to get all the air bubbles out of the aftercooler.

 

Is this where the coolant is supposed to go for the after cooler?





a 50/50 mixture is the prefered to use for what i understand?
I just checked and it is bone dry, wonder if the previous owner ever checked it

how full should this be filled?

 

YES

 

thanks
