Installing an Air/Water intercooler
Installing an Air/Water intercooler will be my next project. I finished installing a boost gauge and pyrometer today so I can get some baseline measurements before I put in the intercooler. I am using a generic ebay air/water unit that I got for $125, and a Honda Goldwing radiator to cool the water. After the intercooler is installed I plan to turn up the full load setting on the injection pump, and turn up the boost to get boost and EGT back to the levels I have before intercooling.
Pictures are the ebay intercooler and the radiator test fitting. Hood will close with a slight shave of the rear of the grill to clear the cap.
