IC Chiller install & review

[BULL]

I made a video detailing my installation, as I said I would. I am not a YouTuber, and I never do that. But, perhaps, it will help someone out. I think it is worth a watch. I have a lot of time into the installation. Enjoy.

Thank you, I added this to my YT watch later list

I did not see a real need for the foam and did not want to deal with it later when it deteriorates and starts crumbling off. What a mess.

Having said that, I have not noticed any condensation on the thick fuel rated rubber hose I used from Improved Racing. Likewise, the braided line is dry. I get condensation on the metal fittings and the stock hardline pipes.

Have had the insulation on for over 2 years and it’s still like brand new. You CANNOT have condensation dripping on a track, they will kick you off the starting line. Condensation also becomes a hazard if the water drips and gets on your tires, which it will as soon as the coolant goes above freezing, which will be after your burnout and 60’. The insulation will keep the coolant cooler longer, as well as prevent/absorb any condensation

After compiling comments, doing further research, and performing some additional testing, I think the ideal charge for an IC Chiller on a Redeye Charger is 1.8 lbs (28.8 oz).

Stock calls for 1.5 lbs. I also found that a non RE (no OEM chiller) takes 22 oz, or 2 oz less than a RE. So, the information is tracking. I am 4.8 oz over stock now. I did see a performance increase from 27.2 oz to 28.2 oz. I saw it go the other way at 2 lbs (or 32 oz). There may be a little room for improvement, but it would be hard to measure. And, adding charge without a performance increase is not the best. I chose to err with not over-filling. Thanks for all the contributors!

Mod complete.

So how cool does it get?
