With regular driving, that solenoid should be open. This recirculates the boosted (heated) air. This is why we see high iats when drivin around out of boost. This is also why an intercooler is so helpful. Without a intercooler, and with water/meth we should see lower iat's in boost over...

Im thinking if you added multiple nozzles and sprayed the **** out of it you could bring wot temps down. But, your part throttle iats will still be super high with all that recirculating boosted air. You have an issue, and none of us can help. The more i learn, the more i dont see a way out...

Whilw were on the swap thing, I wonder about the dimenions of a ford 4.6 2v. lol. The trans would bolt right up. Would probably end up in exactly the same place with the same, or different issues that are just as big. Space is a huge issue under the hood.

Here I was just excited that Tim found the issue, nevermind the risk that was there.

Can you get the nozzle right after the maf? Thats max time in the air stream. Maybe get fancy and T two of them of 1/2 the volume of one big one at both sides of the inlet tube? There is a water/meth facebook group that I followed for a while with some really smart guys designing systems and...

Im super happy with 100 degree's at wot. Not going to have any issues there. I'd still like to lower them some more, but then I'm in to a GT-500 style heat exchanger (Big surface area) and then I need to change out the bumper crash pad for a crash bar....Not seeing it happening (Maybe one day...

Sorry, I somehow missed the thread activity. I was wondering, so I logged in and see there's been fantastic progress. Congratulations Tim! As for the IAT question, May 30th I did a drive around log, and it came in at about 158 degree's and below when lightly driving around in the city. I...

Think its the gasket material that keeps compressing? I'm sure you wanted to vomitt blood when the coolant started pouring out of the motor. Frieken snowing right now. :-(

This pump is a super cool find. Are you going to valve it as a pump assist to the engince vac, or stand alone? And I obviously could not see you being hit by a snow plow. Lol.

I really want to see how that vac pump works out, and how you plumb it! Everything is looking amazing. Funny, I was reading and wondering where your getting your energy.....then you mentioned a delay due to a nap. lol

You are more than welcome to anything you need, but you already know that.

Were in Saint Martain now. So far, and awesome experience. Our first airB&B attempt. We picked a cheaper one since we're not interested in spending our time inside. People are friendly, no one pressures you for anything, food and drink is cheap. I have wifi, so It's fantastic to keep up on...

A little bit of time in there Tim? A lot of progress, kindly of surprising as you were gassing yourself.

You found a good use for our deep freeze outside. It just is not warming up yet. Awesome idea. Nice to see your moving along so quickly. You always keep us guessing with what part is coming next. :cool:

I'm guessing part of your struggle is that with that intercooler the whole assembly would not fit under a stock hood?

Yea, av gas would need a full re-tune. More fuel and timing adjust.

Love the intercooler. I sure hope you can figure something out there. Looks like a crazy setup. Ever think of moving Evil to a race gas of some sort? That will bring a tear to your eye(s).

The mad scientist at work!

My 04 Mustang has hydroboost also. I know nothing about it, so its a black box for me. I guess thats why I'm afraid of it. Thoughts Tim? I know you get the odd mustnag thru there. I'm sure information on how it works, and what is required to adapt it is out there.

Something like this sure looks easy....It even has a vac switch already on it so it won't run all the time. Easy rarely equates to free though. Also, I know realestate is pretty limited under your hood Tim. From my experience with that motor and ****ty brakes, my old explorer was actually kind...

I went with the 4.9 on my mustang, just because the older sensor died. Josh, you can't go wrong with the choices you made.

I did not go the zentronix route. I looked seriously at it since Don Lasota really cerommends them for accuracy. I don't think its any easier to tune with using SCT livelink. The price chased me away. The innovative LC1 works fine. Before doing any serious tuning, I like to re-calibrate, and...

Excellent oil pressure! I always had a nagging fear. I've been out of town 3 of 4 weeks, but I should be around home for a few weeks. I feel like summers almost over and i haven't done any fun car stuff. ****ty is all I can say

How is the oil pressure on that motor? Funny about the offset. It's all learning.

I do remember it. It came out really nice. Body had nice lines, and nice finishing. You did that in a weekend? Impressive. It has to take lots of patience.

Rule #1, nothing is EVER simple and straight forward. I think this will be more of a fun project for you though, other than the laying and sanding of fiberglass.

Looking forward to this!

Fingers crossed about pulling the power right from a nice clean source. I don't want to talk about snow. I feel like we're finally getting some summer. August is usually our best month (obviously the Forrest fires are becoming an issue up here, so 'best' is a matter of perspective). It's...

Those intake temps are sure high. I hope I'm wrong, as I'm jast a backyard hack. What are the odds of being able to move that sensor to the air filter in a temporary hack kind of way? Is the sensor the wrong one, with the voltage curve being wrong? 125 degree's cruising cant be right. Your...

Yea, I'm not liking it either. It might be better than reading the recirculting air temperature though (Im pretty sure the original sensor location reads the recirculating air, instead of the cooled air?). Either one, is less than ideal. Sucks, there's no room for anything.

Oops. Lol. Funny how when we are tired or don't have the right stuff handy the issue always seems to come back to haunt us. Hopefully you can get a sensor quick. Summer so so far short.

That low voltage thing is so weird. I still think there would be great gains in cooling to be had getting at least full voltage to that intercooler pump. Yes, my iat sensor is after the intercooler, burried pretty deep. We also need to remember im dealing with a mustang, and mostly a pre-built...

Did meziere mention if the pump could run at 17volts? I definitely see a change in flow from car not runnuing, to car running. I don't want to go through the pain of testing the pump flow at different voltages, but I do know pump flow is reduced as voltage drops. Have you thought about spraying...

Thinking out loud here on the intercooler pump. I'm pretty sure these pumps are fine with higher voltage. Maybe call tech support? If its ok, maybe some kind of a voltage increaser like a 'boost a pump', that up's the output voltage.

I fixed it finally, for me at least. The problem changed ownership. I couldnt figure it out.

Just talking and sharing stuff is an amazin thing. Never know when something said gives you an idea. Finding that voltage issue is going to suck. Great seeing you again btw!

The whole pump fiasco sounds about right. lol. Cant complain about the self healing of the fans, other than we can be sure the issue will be back. My iat's climb to 150 when idling. End of a wot pull is 134. These are in cooler ambient temps. The recirculating of the hot air at idle on these...

Nothings easy, or straight forward. Ever. You do this why? Yes, I get back home Friday night, and will be home for the week, so stop by. I'm hoping to have the mustang running by Sunday, as I switched to a slot maf, and I'm really struggling with getting it dialed in. Frustrating. At least...
