I was wondering is there any use in icing the stock aftercooler with some very very cold ice water? I was thinking of doing this at the track, but whats your alls opinion?

 

i don't think thats possible....considering it sits under the sc....

 

not really i icebox would be something to use or another heat exchanger.

 

well then maybe not the aftercooler the part inbetween the ac condensor and the radiator...woudl you consider that an intercooler then?

 

SEARCH!!

"The part between the AC condensor and radiator" is the heat exchanger for our air to liquid after/intercooler, which is located between the supercharger and intake manifold.

What kind of track are you talking about?? Do not put ice on your car at the drag strip and then drag water up to the lanes.

 

no that is the heat exchanger

 

There is a thing called letting it dry, but anyways I didn't know if it would help or not, just a simple question. I guess i'll just get me a bag of ice and put it on the S/C to cool it down.

 

You can severly damage your supercharger and engine by icing when not done right. Not to mention since its under the SC it'd be hard.

 

icing the supercharger with an ice bag isn't going to hurt it though is it?

 

the ls1 guys ice their intake manifold with a bag of ice.

 

I tried putting a bag of ice on top of the S/C last time I went to the track, and threw it away. Reason being, because right after taking off the bag, the S/C immediately went back to it's usual temps. Seems like the gauge of the metal on the S/C is too thick to use this method. Just a hassle unless done right, in my opinion. Just my 2 cents

 

sounds about right. the metal is more heat conductive than a plastic intake maifold.

 

If I have a bag of ice with me, I throw it on the sc while in the staging lanes. It can't really hurt anything, but I doubt it does much.
