[QUOTE="Willie, post: 16564876, member: 14133"] As promised: [b][U]My Self-Contained 4.2 KB Liquid Cooler System[/U][/b] The entire system uses 3/8" braided stainless hoses with -06an fittings and 3/8" rubber lines with hose barbs (temporary). Moving from the supercharger outlet, a 90-deg -06an hose fitting >> [ATTACH=full]1685059[/ATTACH] The hose connects to a custom made reservoir >> [ATTACH=full]1685060[/ATTACH] The line then runs through a stainless mesh filter (no pic), then to the pump. It is mounted on the left side frame rail. >> [ATTACH=full]1685061[/ATTACH] From there to a pair of small heat exchangers, the first being an 18-inch long tube and fin frame rail heat exchanger. >> [ATTACH=full]1685062[/ATTACH] Airflow is achieved through a long slotted opening in the factory lower splitter with a scoop. >> [ATTACH=full]1685063[/ATTACH] From here, the coolant is routed to the upper Derale stacked heat exchanger, fitted with a pair of 5.2" Spal puller fans (no pic of fans). >> [ATTACH=full]1685064[/ATTACH] ... and back to the supercharger through a 45-deg -06an hose fitting. The pump and fans are wired to turn on with the intercooler pump (front or rear). Or through a manual test circuit I installed under the hood (pic below). The coolant is monitored by a programmable digital dual temp gauge (center gauge in pic), >> [ATTACH=full]1685065[/ATTACH] ...and by another digital temp gauge on the control panel. >> [ATTACH=full]1685066[/ATTACH] To achieve maximum cooling, the flow rate can be adjusted by varying voltage to the pump. I built and installed a variable voltage regulator. Temps are monitored with the underhood digital gauge (when not driving) and the Hi / Lo switch which controls the temp gauge sending units (I did not have space for two gauges!). Also contained on the panel are switches to test the pump, turn on both fans, and adjust pump voltage (flow). I can report that the temps in this circuit at any given time are very comparable to the IC fluid temps, i.e. within 10 degrees F.
