what do you use for coolant in your intercoolers?? I was just wondering if u guys use anything other than water in your intercoolers(vortech) And if so what type of temp drop did you see? Im using plain water and my intake temp was around 100 degrees but after a few passes at the track the temp went way up to around 118 degress F. This is way better than the 160 degrees i was seeing on sommer days with no intercooler. Thanks for any input.

Re: what do you use for coolant in your intercoolers?? Coming from the Sy/Ty world, most used distilled water during the summer in their air-water IC's. Regular water will corrode where distilled won't. A bottle of Water Wetter will help keep it cooler too. In the cold weather, run anti-freeze but it doesn't cool like water can.
