The picture was just for the setup. It shows the current outside temperature. It was more then 6 ours ago I drove it.Well done. I can't quite tell if the top reading says 11.9 or 17.9 (C), but you stated a 7 to 17 degree drop across the IC. For us I believe that would be about a 45 to 63 degree (F) difference. If your ambient temp is 16 C (61 F), and your charge temp at the IC inlet is 18 C (64 F), that would mean you are getting IC outlet temps below ambient? I think I'm missing something because that isn't possible without adding an external coolant like spraying nitrous onto the IC. Regardless it sounds like you are getting the charge temp close to ambient which is a good goal.
Also I did not realize you already have a fan on the IC. Is it controlled with a temp sensor or manually? I have not decided how to control the fan that will be on mine. The ambient temps here are over 100 F (38 C) a great portion of the year, so I might just connect it to run whenever the engine is running. That could help to avoid heat sink before it creeps up.
Thanks for sharing your results.
Yes there is a fan on the IC controlled with a temp sensor. I can set the temp myself when the fan should switch on.
I just mentioned the drop in temperature. Don’t be fooled by the readings in the picture. Because the sensors are not on the inside of the pipes but on the outside, the readings itself are not very accurate. But the temp difference is. I recall that the reading were 52 down to 45 degrees. Did not use the turbo very much today. Wife was sitting next to me
