Hey I have been interested in the Gt450 kit for about a year, I have some off the wall questions on heat exchanger systems. This is all just a "what if" scenario. I am playing around with the idea of making my own heat exchanger setup.
1) Suppose a person runs a DOB kit (gt450), with just enough boost to make around 400 rwhp. What kind of IAT, pre-intercooler would they see? Eaton M112 from a GT500. Say 85 outside, sea level. Cruising down the highway 70 mph. Question answered via DOB article.
2) Suppose that person runs a 5 or 6 gallon tank in the rear tire sump, how long could you run with no heat exchanger before heating the water to the point timing starts getting pulled? air temp outside is 85, just cruising down the highway at 70mph. I think a better way to word my question is, would it be bad for the engine to idle and cruise with hot iat2 temps?
3) When you run a heat exchanger, does the coolant run right from the intercooler to the heat exchanger, then to the coolant tank, and finally back to the intercooler? Or does it run the opposite way? (tank to exchanger to intercooler) Answered in my link below.

4) Have you ever seen a setup that uses a "non typical" heat exchanger? For example a small car radiator on a DOB kit with a large coolant tank? (5-6gallon) Would love to hear feedback on this, thinking about a small car rad with fans under the spare tire bump and a big tank in the spare tire trunk recess
Thank you, sorry for the weird questions. Just have some ideas I am playing around with.
