Reducing iat ... aftermarket he?

I've been reading up about aftermarket he and have noticed most would agree that they do not increase power. Is it safe to assume then that they do not in fact decrease iats? I understand that they reduce recovery time.

I'm wanting to reduce iats for day to day driving and short of meth injection or a chiller killer... What ways do we have to reduce iats on a modded c32?

It decreases heat soak and speeds recovery after WOT. My opinion is that the intercooler under the supercharger is the limiting factor. Intercooler isolation will help decrease the IATs.

Separate the cooling and get an additional reservoir installed.

Yeah already seperated the cooling circuits might separate the reservoir next. I don't go wot day to day so recovery is not my concern, and in stop start trafficni don't need the power so I don't care about heatsoat.

What I really want to get is that cold morning feel all day long, car pulling like a train. On a 30 Celsius day she feels sluggish with iats sitting just under 50 while cruising. On a cold morning with iats at 10 she feels heaps more responsive.

Get used to it. With an extral reservoir when ambient temp is at 30C, your IATs will at best will be 47-48C. Killer Chiller is not for a daily driver in your part of the world. And good meth is expensive.

Dammit i was hoping you wouldn't say that. Hmmm, good meth might be the go then
