so today they were reading 16x and 159. out side temp was 108 here in tx lol but still they never really went down. i got a dual pass and ottp h.e . could there be something wrong on the dual pass they way the hoses were ran? or is it the pump? anyone with any suggestions and help ill apreciate it thanks.

 

If you were cruising around those temps are high, but if you were doing hard pulls those temps are average or low .

The rule of thumb I use is if your cruising around your iat2's should be roughly 20-30 degrees above ambient or iat1. If your doing a hard pull then it varies depending on your mods and car etc.

 

i was cruising so there must be something wrong. i was going 65-70 mph

 

well if we round the numbers up it was 110 outside, which means your iat1's could have been 120 you should have been seeing about 140-150 iat2's while cruising. But considering it was SO hot outside the temps could vary a few im sure.

When it cools down outside to like a 70 or 80 degree night, check your iat2's while cruising then. ALSO just as an fyi if your cruising at -15 or -20 vac your iat2's are going to be higher then if you were driving at 0 vac.

 

ture that . i think it was cuz of the temp outside but still freaked me out lol because the other night i went for a spin at night and they are at 130-140 cruising

 

That does seem high, I am assuming you have no codes? Did you bleed the air out of the system when you installed the heat exchanger?

 

no codes. and yep i did. all i get is full coolant when i open the bleeder.

 

Dude its damn hot here right now, i think you are OK. I got up to mid 140's today on the way home, my freaking IAT1 was 114 I think

 

you sure the pump is running, those are too high

 

not sure how do i find out if the pump is running/working?

 

open the filler neck and see if there is current

How long had you been going ~65mph?

 

k will do that now

 

Rico when i do a pull my iat2 hit over 200 now im pretty sure my intercooller pump is bye bye and crusing is around 150-170 when it used to be always around 140
welcome to the club and no money to fix it

Gotta love this years weather

 

go out and smack the pump with something mine stop working and i did this and i have been good scene then

 

turned the car on and see bit of coolant but if i tilt the filler so the right side of it is a lil bit up in the air all the coolant goes back and nothing goes up or tried to go by. idk if that helps to determine if its flowing or not. doesent the thermostat have to go on at a certain temp for the pump to go on? or does it automatically goes on?

 

should always be on if the engine is running... Sounds like you might have a bum pump...

 

the ic pump should always be on if the car is running

 

if its broken u can use one from a lighting or cobra i beleive its the same pump
just do a little searching

 

how does it look when the coolant level is full or where its suppose to be on the filler neck? or do i just worry about the reserve by the fuse box?

 

im not sure bc i have none at all unless i put some in but i think a few inches from the bottom of the filler neck and be bubbling since its flowing

 

the reserve by the fuses is engine coolant, not intercooler. I would just look for turbulance in the fluid while the car is on. Thinking twice about it, I think that your 160* is high, I got into the mid 140s today and i was in the city stopping at lights, not cruising at 65 or 70...

 

lol 160 is about idle for me

 

okah thx texas ss and just took the car for a spin iat1 was 95 and iat2 were around 147

 

i dont think you have to much to worry about im in louisiana and mine arent quite that high there runnin about 140 or so give or take but the tem here has been 100 to so i think youre fine if youre at 108 just my opionion

 

u talking about iat1?
