today i hopped in my car and got out on the highway and did a second and third gear pull to about 115mph. when i let out of it i immediately looked at my interceptor (been keeping a close eye on my IAT2's) and my IAT2 read 180*F. Outside temp was about 45*F. after i let out of it and was normally cruising about 60mph the temp went down to 135*F (where it usually is..) ..

so, is it safe to say i need a new one?

 

even 135 in 45* weather is far to hot. yea your ic pump is toast. crawl under the car and hit it with a hammer (not hard, just tap it) and see if it helps. right now i do that about once a week and the pump wakes up again. i have a replacment i just need time to put it on.

 

ill try that tomorrow. thanks man.

 

hammer that bitch

 

What should you IATs usually been on a consistent day to day basis?? Like stage 1,2,3 ?

 

there are a lot of variables. usualy im around 40*f above ambient cruising.

 

you can also just pop the reservoir cap on the filler neck, and see if its moving. hats a sure fire way to check

 

how will i know my pump is going?Like what IATs should i start worrying??

 

do you have a scan gauge? most of these pumps start messing up around 20,000 to 25,000 miles

 

Yeah dual Interceptors, but im just trying to figure out what to look for because im kinda new to the whole IATs and all that stuff...

 

just use logic. 30-50* over IAT1 is okay...it will likely be more than that if your using a very small pulley, but otherwise, i'd check the pump

 

30-50 over??? what do u mean..what about IAT2

 

iat1 is your intake air before the supercharger, basicly ambient air temps. iat2 is after the blower, thats what we are concerned with. iat2 shouldnt really be more than 30-50*f above iat1 or your outside air temp.

 

cool, thanks for the help man i appeciate it
