Lots of Header pics

and datalogging has actually shown that the ice doesnt make a difference. i know a very respected forum member on the sr6 forum (has the c32 motor) has shown this and mike has discovered this as well.

very clean product demo so far..
I think my next mod will be a shorty header or HEM's... due to ease of install.
But these look very nice.
can't wait to see dyno.
If you can please dyno a stock car without tuning and one with ECU tuning.

mike's cooling system is simply amazing. an independent intercooler system with reservoir, two heat exchangers and a really loud Jabsco pump. the pump and supercharger wired up on a the same fuse. also only running lowish boost.

although, i do have proof many times over, in the form of timeslips, when it comes to icing my reservoir showing a difference.

^mike,
if i remember correctly, mike tapped his manifolds. moved the gauge that monitors outside temps and actually placed it in there.
Hooley, correct me if i'm wrong

I have my temps monitored from just after the intercooler. I will go outside now and take a pic today of my IAT temps. I will know 100% for sure whats going on when i get the Davtron temp gauge installed.
Trust me I find it hard to belive too. so that why I'm getting a new super-dooper gauge.

Now, what could be possible is taking the car "cold" out of a 80* garage, or shop, and datalogging in 110* ambient temps outside - presto, the fluid in the tank and IC system would be at 80* for a little while (heating rapidly, though), so it'd be possible to get a post-IC reading of IAT below ambient... but it'd be extremely temporary - i.e. not sustainable, once the car's fully up to temp.
In reality, with a car that's up to temp and in normal driving conditions, even getting IATs within about +10* of ambient is a very good showing, because you have to consider engine-bay heat, solar heat absorbed by the paint, etc. and their inevitable transfer to the intake system. The IC system fluid can only radiate excess heat to the passing ambient air - so it'll never reach ambient once the car's running and up to temp (without adding something colder than ambient to it).
Second - ice should absolutely lower IATs, by artificially (and temporarily) driving down the IC fluid temp below whatever the temp is normally.
i realize we're talking about two different platforms here so the comparisons are not direct. however, i gotta agree with c32amg...it's kinda hard to believe he can get cooling below ambient unless he's measuring iat's BEFORE the s/c. either way, something is wrong with his data or datalogger if he's not measuring any difference with ice in his reservoir (unless his reservoir is so small that he can't fit enough in there). just my opinion anyways...
although, i do have proof many times over, in the form of timeslips, when it comes to icing my reservoir showing a difference.

As usual, MBH takes the best approach to figure out this strange discrepancy... gather more (and better) data.
