Tranny cooler + Ice water in front of air filter = 40 degree drop in temp!!!

speedytang · 11-05-2001, 08:00 AM

I have seen this setup on turbo 4 engines, locally we have a guy with a coleman cooler in the trunk running a marine pump with a custom made aluminum box with a heater core in it. This guy runs 11.90 in the qtr with 23lbs of boost on a mild built 2300 turbo in his 84 GT. No detonation and works like the Vortec after cooler.If you have the new MMFF his car is in the photo section for True Street Norwalk. It might be hard to believe but a heater core is not restrictive that is why a simple blower gives you so much heat in the winter. This idea will work even better if you use a 5 gallon Jaz fuel cell and your old fuel pump you removed for a bigger one in your tank. Mount the pump in the cell then run what they call 3 core hose which is insulated and used in the trucking industry for cooler"fridge" trailers. I should have mine done in a couple of weeks with full photos. This system will also pass NHRA tech as a safe rear ballast.
