I have a Canton battery tray mount ice tank for at the track. Killer Chiller looks like a great way to supplement that also!! And it would help on the street...till you smash the gas....remember the A/C shuts off while throttle is smashed to WOT.

You can change the tune to leave it on at WOT, mine is.

The only real fault that I see on the killer chiller is the ac blower itself. A friend of mine is wiring it up so it works without the a/c blower so it really really cools down the water since it is not cooling the air.

This is true, but I have bypass the interior AC all together. All of the cooling goes to the intercooler.

Sorry for three posts, but I hadn't been on here in a week and should have read all the post before replying.


Thats 100% correct, this days with all the deceptive marketing you can't trust any ad nor any magazine whatsoever. But I will tell you this I have touched the water on a lightning with the killer chiller and the water was cold, Very cold. It was around 78f outside I know that something that the cooling factor is the outside temp I doubt can beat it.

My setup has a truck mounted tank and I have a tee at the bottom with a temp sending unit so I can monitor the water temps. On an 85F day the water is 45F. Note, I have my setup set so the water goes from the IC to the tank back through the KC and then to the IC. I would be willing to bet the water going to the IC is close to 32F. Before someones says it, I run 25% coolant and water wetter.


I will tell you this on the other hand, I know the kc will get the lower water temps with both on. What I would like to see is a comparasion on like 5 pases in 5 minutes to see how which one really works under real street conditions.

Where I race I would be happy if I could make 5 passes in 2 hours. I have hot lapped the car and run back to back passes, separated by less than 10 minutes, and saw in increase in IAT of 7F. What I do is make a run, get back in the staging line, run the car for 5 minutes, turn off car and run the fans and water pumps for 5 minutes and them shit off the fans but keep the pumps on for another 5 minutes. After that the car is very repeatable.


I second that 100%...



See I would like to see some real world testing as well....

I do not want to come across as bias toward aftermarket H/E but to be honest this is the first time I've heard of the Killer Chiller. Can you run it along with an aftermarket H/E????

Yes, you can. It all depends on what you are going to use the car for more. I do not have the HE installed as I felt all it would do is warm the cold water. If I drove the car in cooler temps I might have felt differently.

the killer chiller is heavy and you have to cut the stock A/C lines and i will NOT do that... so the afco is the way to go then...

I really do not think so. The HE part of the system is about the size of a loaf of bread and has 4 AN fittings on it. The stock KB HE was larger but thinner. I would bet the total system weight 5 pound heavier.


Can't believe KB hasn't addressed slippage issues, thats crazy!!!! I always assumed since every pic I saw of a KB it had the normal belt sys. that slippage wasn't that bad...

Bad, and on top of that it chucks them into the bottom side of the hood which makes a big dent.

Stronger tensioners are the band aid that people have been using but they have their own built in problems and that is shock loading the balancer/crank snout which doesn't do the crank any good and have been known to shatter oil pump gears.

I have a nice dent in my hood from a broken belt. It sounds like you have yours under control with the 10 rib setup but for other I would recommend the ST Motorsports direct drive system. I am so confident in it I an having a Steeda Hood painted and will be on the car this year. Trust me, if you hit a fiberglass hood like I did you would need a new hood. If you want to see what the system looks like go to the ST Motorsport section, I posted pics in there.
