Re: SD> Overheating with front mount intercooler
I second this, and also recommend a large oil to air cooler. Might also switch to a different oil. I used Shell Rotella T (15w40) oil for diesel equipment, and noticed lower temps, and more stable oil pressure than Mobil 1 (any flavor) in hot weather. It will need to be changed at or before 3000 miles, where you might get away with more miles with M1. > I would also drain the anti-freeze and replace it with as much straight > water as possible, adding a bottle of Redline Water Wetter.

Re: SD> Overheating with front mount intercooler
I would also drain the anti-freeze and replace it with as much straight water as possible, adding a bottle of Redline Water Wetter. That should help drop the temps considerably.

RE: SD> Overheating with front mount intercooler
Maybe vent the hood behind the radiator to give the air a place to go instead of into the front the engine block? Just get an early Daytona hood vent and place it between the radiator and the engine. Install it such that the vanes are pointed towards the rear of the car. Stefan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul T.

Re: SD> Overheating with front mount intercooler
try to place the airdam BETWEEN the IC and rad. a 1/2" to 1" in between is good, and then the spoiler can deflect the air to the Rad directly.

Re: SD> Overheating with front mount intercooler
I would make sure you have some space between the rad and IC, and try to put an air dam below the radiator. This will help pull air up through the radiator.
