Just one more picture I took while in the garage getting others. Here are the heat exchnagers when viewed fromt he top with the hood open. You can see the 5/8 inch hose run between them.

 

Also, one more quick and final update. Today on the way home the OAT was reading 97 for most of the trip. When I got home the water temp was right where I expected it; about 108 F.

The new reservoir is on its way, a 5 gallon fuel cell which I'll mount in the spare tire well.

 

I just got done finishing up the last part of the new heat exchanger system, the larger reservoir. I don't have complete tests yet but it should work out very well and already seems to keep it cooler. After a breif drive the water temp as within a few degrees of ambient; not bad at all.

This is in the trunk right now and fit in witht he spare cover. I'll make another mount for the spare but since I mostly drive to and from the office, this will work for most of the time and is not needed. If I go on a long trip I'll throw in the spare. But this is prefect for use at the track though. There is a vent so that I can use dry ice in there which should provide a very coold charge. I'll try and test this out soon.

 

You've had a busy weekend

 

That was done prior, just took the pics today.

 

Do you see a way that this could work and keep the spare? Keep the updates coming this is getting more and more exciting.

 

so are you not guuna have a spare now??? if so i hope you dont ever get a flat.... anyways looks great scalbert.. buy the way do you have a top mount i/c i dont see a front mount in you pics??

 

Yes, using a different fuel cell as the reservoir. I mostly drive between my home and the office of which if I got a flat I would pull it, get it fixed and then put it back on (no spare needed). If I go on a trip I will throw the spare in.

However, it can certainly be done different. In fact, one of the kits being shipped will use a rear mounted reservoir but be mounted to the side of the trunk. It will use the following fuel cell as the reservoir.

 

Remember, it is a liquid/air system.

 

Nice, will the reservoir be part of IC kit and will you provide instructions to install?

 

Correct, the individual gets to pick if they want a larger trunk mounted unit or a smaller underhood unit.
