Im interested in know what your iat's are with your a2w setup. If you know can you post what you are using for a pump / resivour and the temp?

thanks

 

i'd also like to know how these setups can work in a street car...

anybody have experience?

i'm considering switching to one instead of a big FMIC..

 

i belive my car was hitting around 145 on joes dyno. with tap water we were running all day,. no ice. this was making 800 whp.

jabsco pump, 3gal fuel cell for the water,

 

i was around 140-150 on normal days w/ ambient about 80-90's

jabso pump...huge cooler 5 gals + & about 10' of 3/4" piping was my capacity...w/ a motorcycle radiator as a heat exchanger

using a denso core custom a/w intercooler...

for a street car...air to air is much better....but i wanted an ultimate sleeper...that hell even my turbo buddies couldnt tell it was boosted from the outside heh

 

Go put your motor together and I will give you a hand throwing it in!

145??? wow i didnt think yalls temps got up that high with A2W set ups


mine at a little over 700hp was right around 90 degrees and i am using a front mount with the Carbon AIR/Endyne intake manifold

i have had it drop into the low 70s on the dyno and into the 40s with ambient pretty close to the same temps

 

fwiw, we used the same water all day long, and it was blazing hot that day. i havent gotten to run the car enough to play with cold water or ice.

if you saw my I/c you'd understand...it was a tiny 4X6" core w/ minimal fins...and it would start out alright....90-105's...but the more i drove...the worst it got...great for the track and when i had ice in it i would see low 60-70's....but aside from that...once it got hot the car ran mediocre...and was a pita to tune my iat correction tables...it would run perfect around 120's...but around 130+ it wouldnt idle right etc...

but then again i barely drove my car more than 30 min at a time...so it really didnt matter to me and worked for what i wanted...sleeper...and any time i was going out for a rip or two i was always makin a stop at 7-11 and dumpin in 2-3 bags of ice...which would last around 15-20 min of good boostin

if i went back and did it all over again...i would be running a better core...or even at that and a/a unit...but like they say hindsight is 20/20...and i was a newb when i first started piecing mysetup together

oh ok, now i see. I was actually considering going A2W and want to really weigh out the pros and cons, so more info on this would be great, plus i can still keep my carbon manifold

 

My MAT temps are a very consistent 20-25*F over ambient, whether street dirven or at track (road course) days; at idle or wot. I run a 2 gallon resevoir with coolant and water-wetter. The coolant is pumped via an 80gph bilge pump to a 6" X 10" heat exchanger mounted in front of the main radiator.

A2W is more efficient that A2A but it is also more complex; having more components. A2W is also more compact which in my installation was the determining factor.
