Killer chiller installed water temp 38° iat 52°

This killer chiller was installed by Jerry Bridwell,he owns Pro auto, in Davie Florida

before you look at the two videos let me explain a few things. The killer chiller is installed under the front bumper. It is installed in parallel with the air-conditioning system, it's like a van with two air conditioners with one in the front one in the rear, mine has the factory air conditioner still in its original location and then the second condenser set up is under the front bumper, it's called killer chiller.,there are no heat exchangers at all on the car. Here the videos one is 10 min. and is worth the entire 10 min. to watch it you'll see the water in the tank dropped to 38°, and the IAT's reading in the manifold 52° , jim

I probably didn't need to post both because you can use arrows and see both of them

I think you have the same video posted twice Jim. The link shows 0 and 1 at the end but if I click on them the same video plays. Not sure why that is happening.

Cool little video but I think that what people really want to see is something that is never posted. There are several people out there with videos just like yours, sitting at idle rpm viewing the intake temps or even putting along down the road and viewing them.

What I personally want to see and what I am sure everyone else out there is how the intake temps react on a burst through the gears, like simulating a run against another car down the highway or a run down the 1/4 mile. A run with no killer chiller making the water cold which I assume would mean you running no a/c now that you have one installed, only little problem is you will also have no cooling to the water with no heat exchanger so it may alter the results some. And show the temps at their starting point and ending poing from say 40-120mph blast and then a run from that same span with the killer chiller operating so your starting intake air temp is below ambient and what it makes it up to as a max temp. And then finally show how long it takes for the Killer Chiller to return the IATs back to the starting temp from their max temp after a multi gear burst.

In my opinion that is the most important things to show with this system and I have found nobody out there showing it on videos.

I realize the IAT will rise with and without killer chiller, but are they symmetrical to one another just with a different start and end point? Say they both increase 70 degrees or does the killer chiller IAT increase less from the water being colder and not as willing to increase as water already warm from a no killer chiller run?

So to put it in an example is it like this?

Ambient temp= 80 START IAT END IAT Temp Increase
Killer chiller -------- 50 --------- 120 ------------ 70
No chiller ---------- 90 --------- 160 ----------- 70

Or is it?

KC ----------------- 50 ---------- 100--------- 50
NO KC ------------- 90 ---------- 160---------- 70

assoon as I get my car up and running again, Eroucharged tcm did not work on the track, so now I have no tcm for the rear that is in the car,, i have to install a tcm that will Work with the differential ratio that I have. I will make that video either on the track or like you said 40 to 120+ i can only do it with the KC on being i have no Heat exchangers jim
