Re: Still get overtemp no SC with Code 3 pulley and new johnson pump
Well we disagree Brian. The SC is running all the time, I wanted to pull the camera out of the back to show you and I even painted my pulley with you in mind. The camera was monitoring the intercooler temperature meters and the intake air pressure and I needed to capture that data.
The supercharger does not cause overheating as it only increases the intake charge temperature due to compression and frictional losses. The intercooler should always handle that as your high speed runs indicate its capacity.
1. I would not add any additional H/E's in series with the stock he as it is sooo restrictive to flow. My measurments were stocker flowed 1.5 GPM with the Johnson pump, 3.1GPM with my big intercooler, 3.7 GPM with the LET style HE and my Super cooler design got 4.0GPM due to lower internal restriction.
2. If your heating problem is not going away you may be noticing it due to the higher heat load discussed above. Your intercooler and H/E may be flowing too little water to reject the heat present.
I would recommend that you get a really clean catch can and flush the radiator system with a good (Pestone) radiator cleaner. Then drain the fluid and observe it to see if you find any crud like I did at 12,000 miles with a former chrysler dealer car.
Rinse and refill as recommended to see if that makes a big difference for you. IT DID FOR ME IN MY CAR.
3. If I can figure out how to place my dvd camera under the hood while driving to document this S/C controversy and prove it to everyone, I will. I did one video and drove really slowly to prove it but more information is apparently needed. THE CLUTCH IS TOO SMALL TO ALLOW ENGAGEMENT ABOVE A VERY LOW SPEED - mine kicks in above about 1300 rpm but I will continue to try illuminate the operation of this clutch.
