CSF All Aluminum Performance Radiator For our trucks FINALLY!!!

Very true. Most of my packages come in 1 day

 

I tried calling again today but only got voicemail. He maybe on vacation or a business trip?
I just want to get some kind of status to relay to you guys!

 

Ask about the upgraded intercooler and tell him there is interest

 

Are you talking about the one in front of the truck or in the sc?

 

In front?

 

Ken emailed me today and once I reiterated I was talking about the trd/magnusom supercharger intercooler it doesn’t sound like it’s a very high priority for them. To be exact he said:

“Your input is greatly appreciated. I will let you know if that’s a project
that we will consider looking into. I’m sure you’ll see in the forums if
we do.”

Kind of bummed about that, but maybe the one gadget is having made will work with our setup too? Time will tell I guess.

 

They will sell. Just need a motivated manufacture entity.

 

Yup. I bet Ron Davis would do it, but probably would be a little too expensive for most people to justify.

 

What do you think would be most benificial? The heat exchanger inside s/c or out front y'all?

 

The way it’s setup, we cannot really do anything with the heat exchanger inside the supercharger. Just is not enough room. With an exterior one, more volume would be good so the coolant stays cooler longer, which if paired with a faster pump will help keep the temps down a lot.

 

Ahh. At one time i found a better pump on here. Just forget where. Mercedes part i think.

Thank you.

 

Why do you guys think we need a bigger fmic? Mine has never been been more than slightly warm after running. Agreed larger coolant capacity from a larger fmic would help keep temps in check if you are having problems with the coolant temp not cooling off sufficiently at fmic outlet but I haven't had a problem.
If you are running in the dunes I could see a problem due to being in boost a lot and low speeds so low airflow through the fmic, but for normal duty I don't see a need for it.

 

The more boost you run the hotter your intake temps as you know, but after a few hard runs back to back its going to be pulling heaps of timing. This is what ovtune told me when he dyno’d my truck. On the 3rd or 4th pull on the dyno the truck was getting lazy because the intercooler could not keep up.

 

I over think things i guess. Problem solve all day at work. Same mindset with my truck. I forget toyota pays guys 6 figures a year to engineer these things.

 

I remember seeing that in his thread and he did say that he had fans running for cooling, I just haven't seen any hard data that would justify the need. Someone needs to put a thermostat on the fmic outlet to monitor temps. I do have intercooler inlet and outlet temp probes.

 

Do you notice much difference after doing some long wide open throttle pulls? 20 degrees? More maybe?

Edit: whats the hottest you’ve seen on the before intercooler side?

 

Normally cruising on the freeway outlet is 20ish below inlet. On a wot run I have seen 45+ temp differential.
I don't remember off hand the highest I've seen on the inlet side. 175 maybe? Remind me in the heat of summer and I'll check.

 

I will try to remember, it’s hard since in my neck of the woods it’s already getting hot out again. If it’s hitting 175 and cooling it to 130 then that is good news. I believe you want the air going into the motor to not be over 135 or the computer starts pulling timing. Atleast on other cars that’s how it works. I’m not sure how it works on our trucks sincd I think the only intake temp sensor is the crappy one that is built info tbe maf sensor.
