Got home today and i checked my s/c and when i touched the aftercooler it was barley even warm, i looked around and couldnt see any leakage or obvious problems. If anyone has an tips on what to check or other ideas let me know. thanks

That means it's working baby!

 

That means it is working correctly ... it's cooling.

 

Yay for aftercoolers!

 

Thats what i figured but it just seemed much cooler than it usually does.On the vortech cooler theres a cap that allows you to check coolant level, the comptech is a little different. is there any maitience i should do to make sure the aftercooler is full and working well? thanks

this is an afterCOOLER.

your blower gets superhot as it blows compressed air through your throttlebody and into your intake manifold.

if your aftercooler is cold, the air going through gets cooler. if your aftercooler is as hot as your blower, its not really doing its job now is it?

you know that its working when there's a disparity in temperature between the blower and the AC. if both are too hot to touch, then your AC isnt working.

to sum it up: the cooler your AC is = the better

 

and i might add... my aftercooler sometimes feels like its been sitting in the fridge for a day after a drive in mild weather (~15deg C)

 

Unbolt the filler bolt on the CT AC to check for fluid level. The level should be below the threads.

 

cool. thanks guys, yea it was about 65f out last night and its the only time i have EVER touched anything in an engine bay that was cold.

 

ohhh snap, time to give my ac a look, things hot as hell everytime i touch it
