I'm going to reply to this once because I want the general public to know actual facts and not what some ignorant poster is saying. I only want to clarify. I don't give a whit what the OP is on about. He is a prime example of the 2% of the customers base that as a business you refuse to deal...

I'm sorry, I was under the impression we were talking about blown cars. I didn't even know Roush made a NA car.

That is a response.^^^^^^^ Let's hear your criticism. If you have valid points I will be happy to debate them with you using facts.

Holy smokes, that is way over priced and won't get the job done. It still doesn't have enough heat exchanger core volume or water speed to begin to think about keeping IAT's down on the road course. It's not even close. If you guys want to keep your cars cool on the road course there is only one...

That sounds like a plan! If you're going to get the intake manifold you don't need the flow mod. The intake manifold/intercooler will flow way, way, way more than the flow mod will. If you get the intake manifold/intercooler you also won't have to run a pump that is as big/expensive. The...

I should have used "unnecessary for IAT's". This is the flow mod. I use the J2 units (no point in both of us making them). It involves you shipping your intercooler to them, they cut the front tank off and they weld on their own. You get it back with hardware/parts that increase the ID of the...

Your numbers didn't jive because they were to good to be true with your combo. I was assuming that you were reading IAT1 (which is basically in the air filter) not IAT2 (which is in the manifold post blower/IC). IAT2 being the one that matters. That the temp going into the motor. Looks like my...

Take a look at the test I have in the FB group before you do the test you're thinking about above. Unless you slow your water speed way down you're not going to get any meaningful data. You will understand when you watch the video.

I agree that my testing of fans could have been better (I didn't have a car available at the time to test with). That can be said about most testing though. It combined with info I got out of SVT was enough for me to decide to not put fans on the heat exchangers I was designing at the time. I...

Looking forward to it. Some of your numbers posted earlier don't quite jive to me. We need that WOT number to get an idea of what is really going on. I have an assumed conclusion. I'm curious if I'm right.

That seems like a fairly accurate test aside from it being such a small sample size (time and volume). Small inconsistencies in the data will end up being seen in the result. Without a dedicated flow setup/rig that's as good as it's going to get short of plumbing a flow meter in. Which at 1" is...

-What water pump do you have? -How much boost are you making? While the IAT numbers above can mean something they are largely irrelevant. What matters most and arguably the only thing that matters is what your IAT's are under boost. That's when the blower is making heat and when the ECU pulls...

I don't understand the process you used to test flow rate then. Can you explain that to me?

Putting a switch on the fan is not going to tell you if the fans are hurting you at speed. The fan blades impeding airflow are a very, very, very small portion of the overall impedance created by the fan "cages', mounts, motors, etc. You can' put a switch on those. The fans and whatever is...

The difference it will make will depend on what you're setup is now (or will be in the future) and what use it sees. For example, a couple of extremes to make the point: -If you are making 10psi, daily driving the car and you only get into boost for 5-6sec at a time (getting on the freeway for...
