really, it will build 15 psi? at what temp is the water at that point?

 

After i got all the air bled out of my old system without even boosting it i would get about a half a shot glass of water out just bringing it up to operating temps. I ran a little overflow bottle to keep air out of the system.

 

It could be that you were pushing the system for its size and it wasn't able to keep up. My system has been beat to hell at the track and on the street and it is working so efficiently the water temp only gets warm to the touch, and only on the hose going down to the heat exchanger from the intercooler, the other one coming up from the heat exchanger is at ambient temperature. And if you think about it, the water should only be slightly above ambient temp or the system is not doing its job like a FMIC does bringing the air close to ambient temps. The water is what cools the pressurized air so if its hot, your system is not working properly.

Mine has never built pressure, not even once, even after beating on it repeatedly. Then again, it was built for a little more than I am pushing through it. Just like Viking War Hammer's setup which has the same core (4.5" thick) and heat exchanger(big), which is sold as their 600-1200hp kit.

I did my water to air back in 1999,, 10yrs noprobs. 14+14 + 4" core, bilge pump , and radiator 1975 Cadillac evap core with welded fittings.
will start to get hot on short ,tight autocross, or 3-4 street drag runs, but a 5min light cruise it comes back down, 10-20* above ambient, in Texas.

one thing i did find out about it was on long cruises, at no boost ,65-70, gets better MPG with pump shut off, GO figure!! course you gotta remember to turn on if someone wants to play!

 

 

MAN!!! some of you people post some pics of your setup. were a community here

 

Wow VWH, nice setup. I'm in the process of making the mounting hardware. Hopefully I will be done in a couple of weeks.

 

If anyone needs a heat exchanger, I have a extra one (brand new) one for sale. $120

12x12x2 with a fill cap

 

^
For fuc?'s sake that is going to be nasty!

 

Found some of this stuff here. It's Unicoil. They only have it up to 1" sizes though.

I found the 3/4" hose coil for making tight bends at PepBoys.

 

Finished.

 

what heat exchanger is it?

That one

 

still have mine for sale,100 shipped, its crampin my style

brand new in box

 

Anyone needs a brand new heat exchanger for $75 shipped. PM me, need this out of my house.

 

Did the AIT dropped with the H2O intercooler?

 

What exchanger are you running on your car right now? i though tit was this 12x12x2 but i looke at it and it looks like a 12x20somehtingx2

 

I'm running the long skinny one...

 

+1!

2 people have finished their kits and i still don't know what the results are.

 

ait???????

 

ait ,, air intake temp, or, iat, intake air temp, could be the same, somethin to do with the English language..

 

Yup, thinking in spanish, and writing in english

 

why not use methanol inj? problem solved....

 

most racing bodies won't allow straight meth as an auxillary injectant
