Ohhhhhh! that's nice to know.
So, how do you use this? Put some regular anti-freeze (winter) and put a bottle of this solution?
How about summertime?
Can I use destilled water and put a bottle of this?

You just cut it with distilled water (summer), but can also use anti-freeze (winter) with this as an additive.I've been using the product for 2 years in my water-air S2000 and noticed a difference when I upgraded.

go to any supermarket, they sell gallon jugs for 1 dollar! Do not put washerfluid in it! Even a small amount of anti-freeze should do the job of it not freezing. In the winter i would just do that and call it a day. You have probably greatly decreased the efficiency of your intercooler. I would recommend you wash it out a few times before you set it up.
In race motors for off-road machines we commoly use "water-wetter" as an additive to lower surface tension.
WATER IS THE BEST FORM OF COOLANT. ANTI-FREEZE IS EXACTLY WHAT THE NAME SUGGESTS, a way to keep your WATER from freezing, so add a little like Soul Coughing said. I use 75/25 water/anti-freeze up in places like Seattle that get cold.
I have yet to experiement with the product called "Engine Ice" its a purple color and my friend's have had great luck w/ it. I would ASSUME it is fully compatible w/ your setup, I know it SHOULD NOT be mixed with any other products though as it is pre-mixed.
YOU NEED TO CLEAN OUT THAT JUNK!!! It'll ruin the heat disapation characteristics of the cooler a LOT!!! Vinegar does a decent job, but it's not perfect. When you put it in there, try to agitate it around every hour or more to help break that gunk up.

(and please use distilled water from your local grocery store. AND DO NOT use washer fluid....idk who told you that was a good plan)

DEI makes a product called Chill Charger for water-air intercoolers: http://www.designengineering.com/pro...sp?m=sp&pid=62
I use it and works great.
