[QUOTE="Shadow Grey 03, post: 11276881, member: 65953"] Here is my worthles 2 pennies on the subject. I put DI water in my intercooler tank, but it 60/40-50/50 with coolant. It's no longer DI at that point. One of our, lab where I work, tests involves using DI water at an elevated temperature to test blister resistance at the surface of our composites. This is obviously not the same scenario exactly, but keep reading. The DI water is used due to it being "the harshest possible conditions". This is due to the lack of ions in the water and once it penetrates the surface of the outer layer it builds osmotic pressure. Basically trying to equalize the concentration gradient. When this builds high enough the material shows what looks like a blister on your skin. So, long story short, the DI water will be an issue with the coatings/metals in your cooling system. DO NOT use straight DI water. Sorry for the bs, but figured that I would reinforce the already known. [/QUOTE]
