Ah ok, you ever thought about using ice or dry ice?

 

I do use ice on some runs. And on some runs I just use tap water if I am not going to push the motor. So thats why the temperature swing varies...depending on what temp of water i put into the box.

 

Pressure tested to 22psi, No leaks.

 

Like it!

I'm going to weld a boss on. Mines going to be slightly closer to the tb and at the side.

Let us know the difference in temperatures you see.

 

Is this the new location for the IAT?

 

So I did Cadwell park (UK) on Thursday. Car ran faultless but my AIT temps shite when on boost.

Outside air temp was 28'c and as soon as I started WOT pull's the AIT's went incrementally from 45'c all the way to 65'c @ 9200 rpm.

I have come to the conclusion that the CT aftercooler isn't big enough for a Novi 1200. I have an upgraded pump and large heat exchanger so this can be the only cause.... very frustrating as the only option I can see is a bigger aftercooler (no room) or water/meth wont

Oh and I am yet to relocate the sensor but that won't make a difference to this problem.

 

Depending on the market, you could sell your sc kit and but a new sos sc kit for a little more money out of pocket. This is comparing it to buying or building an sos sized aftercooler for your curgent kit.

Sos has a better tensioner for the pulley belt, too.

 

I like your your idea. Is this the best place to locate the temp sensor? What size grommet did you use?

 

I do not recall teh size of grommet, you are better off measuring your sensor and finding our own grommet.

 

This is what I did with my Vortech aftercooler, but I used some black adhesive to keep the grommet from popping out, just in case.

What temps are you seeing now? I've seen it no cooler than 6* above ambient and no hotter than 15* above ambient. Cold ambient temp was low 60's and hot ambient temp was 100*
