electric cooler

do you think someting like this would work?
http://www.tetech.com/Liquid-Coolers/LC-035.html
its an electrical device that cools liquid

add to the heat exchanger make coolant colder i gues i should say put inline to make coolant comming out of he colder. colder coolant = coolder intake temps right.

yeah that part you posted is for computers, do you have the turbo'd ss or the supercharged ss? nvm i take it you have the sc get a cobra h/e, option B, meth/water injecton, or dual pass endplate

what about something like it? this thing ccan cool 40 deg cel thats a sugnif cooling power. maybe something a bit bigger with larger hose ends

Something like it would be the Killer Chiller that already on the market, I think runa around a $1000 and it uses your A/C system to lower temps.

you can use it on your car.
as other people have stated its like a killer chiller.
but this is its own unique system, dunno why everyones ******* it.
the only thing is can it take 180 deg temp and output 40?
if it can thats badass.
i'd say do it, give it a try...and get some data logs and info.
this could be an awesome thing for lsj's.

well the killer chiller uses the ac, this thing that the op
posted doesn't( so it seems)
i would think this would be a great thing to use though. its probably light weight and can provide ultimate cooling.
if it really can cool up to 40 degrees, imagine how much timing you can add, especially with meth because its all so cool.
ands its only 200 bucks.
you wouldn't even need an extra h/e really.
just dual pass, and the stock one. and that would provide good flow and cold temps

http://www.killerchiller.com/ its used mostly on ford i see they use it on the cobra we use the same pump i don't know if 500 is worth it

nah, its not.
it uses the ac as well, and the track won't allow usage of that anyhow.
look at my above post though ^


the way i see it....
is you run dual pass into your h/e.
then after all that you run it into the said, "new cooler" that op posted and then that goes into your manifold.

Yes it you CAN use those on your car, but if youd read the link that was posted youd know why people are "*******" it.

It only uses 3/8" tubing for its cooler, this is a tad too small for our cars, secondly the unit cannnot withstand temps in excess of 158F, nor can it affect a temperature at higher liquid temps, so its just really not well suited to this use at all.

itrs mostly used for track use

well the page i brought up hardly loaded most of the page, dunno why.
thats why i asked in a previous post if it would withstand temps of 180+.
also from the pic i noticed that the tubing is restrictive, but other than the the ultimate concept is great.
there has to be something out there that can surpass those conditions

mount it inside the car? plus you iat dont get that high 110 max for me

hmm well i dont know much about iat2s.
i had a supercharged ls a while back, so i never got to see those.
i just did 2 heat exchangers, dual pass and opt b.
but what i mean by temps isn't necessarily if it can withstand heat on the actual unit i meant the liquid going into it. but if you say it doesn't usually get above 110 then it could still be useful.
the only issue now is the restrictive piping, which again there might be some other option out there that would have bigger piping.
mounting it in the trunk would be fine, it's like mounting that bigass resoivoir someone put in their trunk.
more water doesn't necessarily mean more cooling, but the way they routed the lines from the trunk to the front was neat.
there probably isn't enough room to mount something like this inside the engine bay or anywhere else so it'd have to go in the trunk.
but yea, if it can handle .....even iat2s of 120, and has 3/4" piping it'd be perfect

There is, but the price quickly aproaches and/or exceeds that of the killer chiller, you also run into the issue of the higher end electric coolers wont run on a 14V system like our cars. They usually need AT LEAST 24v.

yea, but the killer chiller runs off ac which can't be used at track anyhow.


hmmm, well there are higher end batteries that couldl supply that power and be mounted in the car and be charged serperately, since this is for "track use". then it could just be powered on/off when you wanted it.
still really the only issue i see here is the restrictive piping.

You cant run A/C at the track? how would they even know?

if youre talking quarter mile then yeah running a 24v battery is an option, you can pick a 5.5lb 24v Lithium-Iron(LiFe) battery pack for about$250-300.

If youre talking a road course I dont see it being beneficial.

The thing is that these less expenssive models just arent designed to remove that much heat, even if the thing could tolerate 160degree coolant it wouldnt do much as far as cooling it.

they know, cause i used to run it to cool my engine down before.
lol. and they made me turn it off, or they said i'd be kicked off.
guess it was dripping on the track.

Ah, wasnt even thinking about that, that would be pretty obvious

But thats easy to overcome, a simple catch can is one option, another would be to to use a scavenging setup and have it actually get dumped in to your exhaust after the cat. This is more involved, but still likely cheaper than everything involved in setting up a high end electrical cooling setup.

mavens entirely right. im not sure, but it looks like this electric cooler is more for liquid cooled PCs than a car application.
