They cost $53.37. Send me an e-mail, I'll give you details.

 

Is that 2 heat exchangers you got there?

Thats seems like a good idea.

 

Has anyone done a back to back dyno comparison or back to back runs at the track comparing an aftermarket unit to the stock one? I'm not talking before/after temp readings of the fluid, but actual HP gain and higher trap speed.

If we could get a group buy going that would be cool

 

It is a very clean setup, but by running the coolers in parallel, you will not get twice the cooling. Coolers drop a percentage of temp. If you pull half the heat out of it with the first cooler, then you will only pull about a quarter of the heat with the second cooler (half of the remaining half). And by stacking them front-to-back, the problem is compounded because the air across the second cooler has been pre-warmed by the first one.

Just want to make sure that you understand this first. No slam to mad, as the setup is very well done.

Mad: have you considered running them in parallel instead?

 

The result would be the same (1/2 from first, 1/4 from second) but in series, the rear one gets the hottest water and the front gets the cooler water and the coolest entry air. Additionally, with a flow rate of 3.4 GPM, the dwell time in the exchangers is close to 30 seconds, I suspect it is a moot point.

Keep in mind, the basis for this whole exercise is not primarily the amount of cooling, though it is surely better than a single but the amount of ground clearance.

 

hehe...t body don't do nothing.

 

Don't know who has the best Exchanger but, LPF's is the best looking one ! IMHO Looks very brushed alluminum.

 

If that's the case, why not just run the hot coolant threw the back intercooler first.

 

That's what Mad says that he does.

But it is incorrect that series and parallel will yield the same results. But feeding fully hot water to each cooler in parallel, you provide each cooler with the maximum possible temperature differential with respect to ambient. How big a difference it makes would have to be measured.

 

I bought 2 temp sensors from autometer and plan on installing one before the dual oem heat exchangers and one after. I will then mess around with the set-up and see what happens with the temps.

 

TampaBlack,

Great. I have the sensors also but am more than a little short of time with the growing volume of my HiPo Parts Biz. My truck has to take second place to my customers.

Be sure to post your results.

When it's installed I will, I also have a ton of other things to do and might not get around to it for awhile.

I like your install

 

I went with the Fluidyne, bought at REM an installed at REM.
