homemade liquid intercooler routing setup question
I was thinking about my setup which I plan on installing tomorrow.
I was planning on the water route to go like this
resivour->pump->intercooler->heat exchange->return
I was thinking about doing this since my main goal will be to drop the temps at the track with dry ice or co2. If I went like:
resivour->pump->heat exchange->intercooler->return
wouldnt I loose some of the chill in the heat exchange?

Put the pump after the intercooler.
Like this:
resivour->intercooler->pump->heat exchange->return
Keep a barrier between the heat exchanger, and the inter cooler, and create a partial vacuum in the intercooler. That is if you plan on running it pressurized, and bleed the air.

please explain. Are you saying use the pump to create a vaccum? What are the advantages? I was planing on just pushing the water through, but there isnt a reason behind it. It was just the first thing that came to mind.

Re: (Prelude91siT)
well, I cant say that I understand the theory behind pulling vs. pushing....
so I wont say anything about it other than,
I have res>pump>IC>res, but this is a drag car, so I dont need a heat exchanger.
Just remember that if you want to do the pull method, your pump needs to be lower than everything else... most pumps cant pull the fluid/air to get themselves primed...
which is why I would stick with the push layout.
