    Default Supercharger HX and intercooler trunk water tank

    Decided to make some upgrades to my tvs1900 cooling system.

    -3/4 hoses front to back, high temp foam and sleaving near the engine.
    -relay is a kussmaul time delay, keeps the pump running 1-6 minutes after the car is shutdown and key is removed. I used the 12v from the reverse camera plug as switched 12v
    -gt500 HX already on the car
    -03/04 cobra 5 gallon water/ice tank, fits good considering it's not made for the g8. I added some foam under it you can't see in the pic.
    - pump is a Davies Craig ewp150 but it doesn't like high head, might work better with 1" or 1.25" lines but I don't have room for that being so low.

    I'll be upgrading to a gt500 pump or emp.

    I ran on regular 93.
    Ported heads and Maggi is giving me 10-12 PSI according to my Aeroforce.

    So I did some test pulls this weekend with the Bosch pump.
    Worked great, was about 45* out.

    I started the log high at 82* due to some previous pulls, but I wanted to simulate a real world temp.

    I did a wot 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear pull and iat never spiked. Highest it got was 95* at the top of 4th

    With the factory setup the iat would be low but during a wot pull in boost it always spiked over 100 quickly when I watched the aeroforce. I don't have any actual logs though unfortunately.

    Never thought of using the spare tire space for a tank. That looks awesome! Nice work.

    Impressive!! Would it be too intrusive to ask for price points on all this? It's just too damn nice not to. :-)

    Nice, I'm planning on doing this as my high IAT's are causing my computer to pull about 4 degrees timing at the top of the track. Planning on getting one of those wheel well tanks, noticed a lot of them have a Rule bilge pump and i've heard bad things about them for street use, but also have a tough time justifying the cost of a EMP pump. Meant to do all this over the winter and redo my intake as well but spring got here fast...
