818S Intercooler Plenum

[autostang]

This is a pretty old thread, but I did a little bit different test today. Stuffed an old shirt in the side scoop feed to the intercooler and blocked off the two upper vents. Post intercooler temps climbed up to ~120F with intake temp of about 80F. I pulled the shirt out (able to reach back and grab it while driving) and the post intercooler temperatures almost immediately dropped back down to ~85F. It may not be quite as efficient as an air to water intercooler, but it definitely shows that the system is doing some cooling.

I have been noticing similar. I actually put a fine water mist system on mine. Just an aftermarket windshield washer fluid pump and reservoir. I use distilled water to prevent buildup. Drops temps even faster and stays cooler for a long time.
