xTHExBOSSx46 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 i have a 02 mustang gt with a eaton mp90 saleen series IV kit. im running a 2.7 in pulley and 12lbs (11.9) of boost. i understand im close to or at that superchargers limits for over spinning. when WOT up through end of third and middle to end of fourth gear my IAT2 temps are around 215. pretty hot. i realize heat is always a issue with this style blower but what can i do to get the temps down? i already replaced the stock saleen HE with this http://www.lightningforceperformance.com/LFP_Extreme_Heat_Exchanger_-_1999-2004_Mustang_Saleen_S281.html and i brought them down a bit. but im still over 200. yes the pump is working. obv a liquid cooling system is used with a radiator for the engine and my radiator is always pretty warm after a run but my HE never has been and always cool to the touch, both the stock HE and my new one.. so in theory should it not be warm also being that its liqid to air? i realize it gets direct air cooling being mounted up front where as the radiator not so much. so i understand why it is warm. any cooling suggestions? bigger coolant tank? aluminum instead of plastic stock one? im all ears to anything really.

Green Bastard Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I would think your he should get warm if your temps are up, you said your pump is running but have you checked for blockages, maybe there is a restriction somewhere in the line.

schmuckingham Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Different cooler pump and if there is a spacer made to move the after cooler away from the floor of the intake that would be a good start. Killer Chiller might make something for that year car but maybe not the blower setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 215?!!! That's way too high. I'd check the pump again and the lines. How long does it take to cool back down at highway cruising speeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTHExBOSSx46 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 as soon as i let off the throttle it cools back down to 140-160 depending on how hot the day is. when i had it out yesterday my cruz temps were at 132-140 but this summer when it was in the 90s my cruz temps were at 160s. when i checked the resivior the fluid was moving very freely and at a decently high rate so i didnt think the lines could have any blockage. i dunno. but like i said as soon as i let off the throttle the temps come down rapidly.

Rotarded1647545491 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 i understand im close to or at that superchargers limits for over spinning. What you have there is a belt driven hair dryer. You need a bigger, and more efficient blower, to correctly solve the problem. Everything else is a bandaid.
