Unholy707’s build

I talk to people with real world experience, not shops trying to sell parts

It’s a fairly easy experiment to perform at home.

Fairly expensive experiment

You can do the test by modifying the voltage to the pump, to speed it up or slow it down. Don’t need a new pump to increase/decrease flow for the test.

Historically, this answer has evaded the masses because of the variables at play. Some people want consistently cool temps, for a long period of time. Some people want low temps for a few seconds at a time. Having a cold source (your reservoir) quickly rushing over the intercooler will cool the intercooler quickly, but the “loop” will come up to temp quickly as well. So at the end of the trip it’ll all be hot. A slower loop will not reduce the temp as quickly but will reduce the temp over time until the loop has equalized. And ice box with high flow is good for racing, and the flow doesn’t need time in the cooler, the colder the water introduced to the radiator the more heat it can remove.
But I’m not a biologist, so your results may vary.

My setup works great, chills the fluid and it stays there

For a street car, it needs to stay constant

Got rid of tank, had a small pinhole in it on the weld. Redid the lines, took care of some additional leaks from AN fittings.
chilly 🥶 this is driving around with car up to temp, not just sitting still idling

My advice to everyone. Don’t use AN fittings. Use NPT swivel to 3/4” barb fittings for adjustability. I had brand new vibrant fittings tight and they still leaked.
