FYI, Oddly enough I just ran across this article today and it kind of explains why I have been going to such extreme measures for the intercooler modifications and also mentioned to the members who are developing CAI's to locate it at the base of the windshield instead of running it to the front grille... It's quite ingenius how these guys are running dual charge air coolant pumps with a 10 litre swirl tank and made custom IC's that sit on top of the engine instead of in the V where all the heat is radiated... The tank I designed is 2.2 gallons but leaves room for the frozen inserts to hopefully maintain the coolant temps substiantially below ambient... And my custom "fin tubes" and Bell heat exchanger that will be circulating the coolant will help reduce the heat as well.

PS. here's some shots of the final assembly of the SC / IC / TB before they went back on the engine... I applied 2 layers of ThermoTec insulation to the outside of the IC and have lined the "V" of the engine block with the same. Also, wrapped the OEM Charge Cooler tubes with the same and sheathed them in tin plated sleeving with an air gap between the ThermoTec and sleeve. This is where the most heat is absorbed during the IC coolant cycle. Also installed the Phenolic spacers on the intakes. If they work as advertised, they should also reduce the temps of the charge air substantially...

I'm still working on the Chiller Tank, should be done soon... I might consider that second Johnson Pump just to keep the coolant pressure / speed up. The faster I can get that liquid out of the heated engine V and back into the cooler fin tubes and chiller tank, the less heat will have to be dispersed by the Bell heat exchanger...

Enjoy the photos and the article...
