I just got a new ic pump and installed it but my iat2 temps are still running over 100. I've checked all my tubes and everythings connected right . I'm stumped can anyone shed any light on the subject

 

did you bleed the system of air pockets?

 

Brand new pump or a used one? And bleeding the system is key, option b rules

 

After I put the pump on I filled the neck then turned the car on and added more coolant and more it jus kept cycling through so I took it for a ride like 5-10 min to see what the temps are and they were over 100 and right around 114 for cruising what else should I do?

 

brand new pump

 

its going to take alittle to bleed the system. Drive it around a little and check everytime u shut the car off. Add as needed. Im sure there r still some air pockets in the coolant system.

 

Yea that's what I've been doing I'm hoping it gets straightened out

 

Can you get away with straight distilled water this time of year where you are? Might help a bit over antifreeze

 

Why do you think they should be under 100?

 

I'm in pa and right now its 65 and I was told by nick at byt that I shouldn't be doing any pulls when its over 100

 

So whats the best way to bleed air? I changed my pump last week...just want to make sure I did everything right lol

 

Interesting, I've never heard that. Without all the cooling mods I don't see how you could keep it below 100. Even then it wouldn't be easy.

 

I have a zzp s3 h/e dual pass on a 2.9 " pulley

 

100 is not bad temps really

 

it should be around 15 to 25* over ambient temp.

 

It just has to run for a bit to circulate all the coolant. Gravity alone cant quite fill the entire system 100% even with either the option b or the stock crappy t neck filler being the highest points in the system. As the pump runs the level will appear to go down, just add more coolant as necessary

 

My temps been between 102-118 and my intake temp sits around 75 ish

 

is anyone upgrading to a higher flowing IC pump?

 

I just did the replacement oem one from zzp

 

Nope

Before I did all my cooling mods, my iats were around 120 in the winter and 140 in the summer (Seattle, WA). If you are at 100 with only a zzp S3, you are fine

 

your temps are fine if your iat2 gets overf 150 on a hard pull then you have a problem

 

if ur cruising and letting off the gas the iat2 will go up since there's not a lot of air going in and cooling the s/c...Try crusing and keep on the gas and monitor ur iat2's if its not within 15-25 * apart from ur ambient temps, check ur intercooler pump's cables polarity, some cars were wired wrong from factory and the pump wont work properly. My IC pump wiring was revesed + going - and vice versa, I switched the up and problem was solved. You can use a voltage tester on the plug it self. Check those couple of things out and report back.

 

Ok thanks for the help guys

 

Hmmm. 6.25 GPM doesnt seem sufficient compared to the 21 GPM on my STS-V.
