Cooling problem with intercooler
Guys, i mounted my intercooler on my NA engine and drove it arround mounted.
Its a precision 350whp fmic.
My engine temps go about 3/4way... when i drive it hard with my ac on.
removed the intercooler and problem goes away.
What can i do about my problem for when im turbo?
Stock 2 core radiator.
Stock Fan.

Re: Cooling problem with intercooler (SPOOLINmatt)
I've had the same problem, and a few other people on here. Some cars handle it well, and some do not, it's hit and miss when it comes to increased coolant temps. Get a aftermarket aluminum radiator and high CFM fan to go along with it. Run some water wetter too, and you should be good to go. A lot factors come into play, everything to the density of the intercooler, to even your manifold design...heat soak and etc..
