So is the H/E things that look like air to air intercoolers take the spot of our stock air to water intercooler? Do these have the same function or are they completely different?

I have searched i cant find the answers i need.

 

well what most do is run the aftermarket HE's in-line with the stock HE. they do the same thing our stock ones do, they just add more fluid to the system and allow a bigger area for air to cool off the liquid

 

So its just an add on it doesnt replace it?

 

you can eliminate it but your just removing some fluid from the system. less fluid=quicker heatsoak

 

whats the best brand to get out there?

 

a HE is like a radiator, and all these aftermarket ones are just bigger ones. You can replace the stock one with a bigger one, or just use them both, wich is the more common route.

I don t think you can use a air to air intercooler unless your using a turbo...

You may be able to add one inline (1 air to air and 1 air to water) but you cannot replace your stock one with an air to air.

 

We offer the cx racing h/e and made a kit for it, for a very afforadable price. This has shown very good drops in iat2's of about 15~20*

let me know if we can help you out.

 

Works both ways actually.

More fluid = longer to circulate and cool down which in turn can be overworking the pump.

 

true but i hope no one is ******* their car long enough to get temps super high

 

I wish I knew my temps at the end of 3rd gear. I would do 40-115 and usually let off right when I get it into 4th.

 

with no cooling mods my IAT2 is 142 at the top of 3rd

 

Ouch. I had none either. 2.8" on 42's and literally no fuel after 6500.
