IA2 TEMPS 03 TERMI

[TL Terminator]

Hey everyone, new to the mustang world and picked up my first 03 cobra. It has a long list of mods including head cooling mod, intercooler, KB 2.8h. I'm seeing IA2 temps between 130 and 138 and it's been around 85 degrees outside. I also have a JLB cold are that is outside the engine bay. These temps seem a little higher compared to others. What are your thoughts?

Yeah that's the Teal Terminator. OP is even using the pics from the for sale ad posted back in March.

It’s a KB so it’s going to run hot

 

[TL Terminator]

Yes, it was. Just got it a week ago, it's in ohio now. Yea, yea, no pics yet...
But anyway, you guys think it's normal? Looking into a killer chiller anyone have any feedback on those as well?

I thought iat2 was supposed to be 40° or so over ambient. Sounds like you're in the ballpark.

 

[2000GTSTANG]

Sounds about normal for a Kenne Bell.

What are people with TVS or other blowers seeing for IAT2?

 

[MG0h3]

I don’t think that’s bad. Were you just putting around or is that after ripping on it?

Just cruising made a 3/4 pull in second.
Has anyone flushed their system before? Any products work better than others? Figured a flush and water wetter would help

personally for ****ing around everyone in awhile i don't think its worth it, for someone who races constantly and needs every degree cooler he can get then sure.

I was seeing 135 after about 20 min of mixed driving today, no boost. Mid to high 80's and typical midwest humidity. Sitting in line at the bank with a/c on I was seeing 140's.

You will get better heat transfer running straight water with water wetter. Just remember to add coolant come winter. I store mine in a heated garage so I keep it straight water all the time.

I have been fighting this on and off for awhile, I do road course my car.
the only way to really fight it is to add additional vents to the hood, look up tiger racing. bigger intercooler and boxing it in help but is really minor effect until additional under hood venting is available
