Water to air intercooler......... Closed loop

How thick is your cooler running down the middle?

pump
The billet pump is only 2" thick so you should be just fine.

Were just talking about clearing a 3'' paddle track with cooler above

The cooler itself is quite thin probably less than .5 inch. The tubes that run the coolant to the cooler are .5 inch aluminum square tubing that run inside the right side of the tunnel. If I was going to have an issue it would be here and I could notch the lugs on that side.
Not much snow yet so decided to make exchanger over the past few days. Front section by bulkhead looks like one piece but it is not, there is a cap brazed in the middle so that exchanger makes a loop. Made as one piece up front for strength. Ended up with about 75' of 3/8 O.D. under tunnel total.
I have about a 1/2" gap between 3" ce and exchanger entire length of tunnel with kmod in both upper suspension holes. Feed and return come up just in front of gas tank near bulk head.

I tried this in the system i built for my truck, The alcohol corrodes everything and lowers the coolers ability to transfer heat, it also took the seals out on my pump...
Is there enough power to run the bosch pump without any problems?
I was thinking of unplugging my headlights when in use.

I bench test one last year and it was drawing less than 1 amp, there was not much of a resticton on it though, so no worries ken
Got testing my systen a bit more..............................
I will tell you guys one thing the water to air system I built for the m1000 blows goats! It is hard to tune, when you hit the boost the air fuel is lean and than in 4 seconds its pig rich :flock: (12.7 to 11.8) It seams worse in cold weather
I do not have enough heat exchanger, I am just running a 4x16 in the front of the bulkhead, it is a good place to have it, just not enough of it. :scared: I am going to try restricting the flow of coolant though, hopefully it will heat up faster but stay cooler. :flame:
Any one got Suggestions that are not to involving I still have a bunch of crap to fab up for other builds :help:

That seams a bit odd. You would think that the volume of your system would gain heat to a certain point and then roughly maintain a constant coolant temp. Are you shutting off the closed loop and then noticing a difference in how it runs, or vice-verse?

Holy Smokes!
Just got my box in from frozen boost. 13lbs :face-icon-small-con ouch!
Thats without a heat exchanger, hose and coolant.
Man that bosch pump is huge and heavy!
I sure hope this is worth it
Gonna build a huge as$ heat exchanger under the tunnel.

Throw some pics up as you go:tea:
Not yet, no snow around me yet, mabe heading to wyoming in a few weeks.
Great thread!!!
I have seen NM's Boost it Nypex, Pro Rmk and Shain's Twisted kits in action and have felt the charge tubes and also feel that these types of systems are a fantastic idea.
I am considering a closed loop system my self and only have one concern. How much condensation is produced in the combustion air? Is this even a valid concern?
T.I.A.

Well, gott'r buttoned up!
No mountain testing yet....just potato
field low elevation.
After numerous runs with the pump unplugged, my charged air highest temp was 104 f
After numerous runs with pump plugged in, my highest charged air temp was 68f.
So its working, but untill some real world tests I won't know if it's actually any better then going with the "light" air/air BD intercooler. :face-icon-small-sho
