Cooling for BIG Power: Water/Methanol and Intercoolers

There is a saying that too much of anything is bad, and this rings true when it comes to how heat affects your engine. As much as heat contributes positively to your car’s performance and function, excessive heat causes drastic changes to the efficiency and performance of one’s vehicle. The right amount of heat is essential to the proper functioning of an internal combustion engine, in cold weather it assists in the ignition process, and it can also improve the engine’s thermal efficiency, and all these contribute positively to the car’s performance. However excessive heat leads to

Engine Overheating – which is detrimental to performance, causes a reduction in power, and also may cause damage to the components by expansion.

Reduced Power Output – excessive heat causes a decrease in power output because the engine management system may intervene to protect the engine from damage by limiting performance

Knocking – also known as pre-ignition, is when the air-fuel mixture ignites prematurely due to excessive heat and pressure in the combustion chamber which may damage the engine and reduce performance

Lubrication Issues: Excess heat can degrade engine oil and reduce its ability to lubricate effectively, which leads to increased friction and wear on engine components, and the creation of sludge, which in turn affects the engine’s performance and may cause damage in the long term.

Why You Need Water/Methanol Kit and Intercooler Upgrade

Before we mention their differences, water/methanol injection kits and intercoolers are ways used to cool one’s engine, as maintaining the engine’s optimal operating temperature prevents overheating, protects the engine’s parts, maintains the engine’s efficiency, prevents knocking, and improves the engine’s performance. Cooling an engine can also reduce harmful emissions as the right temperature ensures efficient combustion of fuel and air hence reducing the formation of harmful emissions.

Water/Methanol Kit

A Water/Methanol Injection (WMI) kit injects a mixture of water and methanol into the intake air stream or directly into the combustion chamber to improve the performance, efficiency, and reliability of turbocharged, and supercharged engines. If you would like to use the injection method to cool your engine, you should know that it is important to tune your engine to reap the full rewards. Apart from that, this cooling method is preferred by many enthusiasts for several reasons including;

Its cleaning effect

Cooling the engine

Prevention of engine knock

Reduction of harmful emissions due to complete combustion

Increased boost pressure

Advancing ignition timing

Another advantage to this method is the boosting of octane, due to the injection of methanol, which has a higher octane rating resulting in more aggressive timing, and enhanced performance. If you are wondering whether you should upgrade your water/methanol kit, you should know that this is the best method for high-performance, forced-induction engines that are appropriately tuned. We have water/methanol injection kits from different brands in our shop right now, click the blue button below to choose one that will meet your preferences

Intercooler

An intercooler’s job is to cool down the compressed air before it enters the engine’s intake manifold, hence making it a very crucial component in many turbocharged and supercharged engines. Intercoolers help maintain lower intake air temperatures, which in turn improves combustion efficiency, increases power output, and enhances overall engine reliability and longevity hence maximizing the efficiency and performance of the engine. Intercoolers have the same positive effects that water/methanol injection kits have, and more including;

Reduction of intake air temperature: By cooling down the compressed air with an intercooler, it becomes denser and contains more oxygen which results in efficient combustion.

Improving fuel efficiency: Since the engine receives cooler air, it uses less fuel to achieve the same power output

Extending engine life and increasing power output

If you are wondering whether you should upgrade your intercooler, you should know that you need to upgrade to an aftermarket intercooler that can handle higher heat loads if you’re seeking increased power output, better cooling performance, and engine reliability. This upgrade will also benefit you if you have made significant performance modifications to your engine, you have track days, drive-in hot climates, or if use your ride to tow heavy materials. We have intercoolers from different brands in our shop to make sure that you have ample options to choose from so click the blue button to check them out.

Even though we have covered many angles regarding water/methanol injection kits and intercoolers, if you still have any questions or you would love to buy products that improve your ride’s performance and gets the most power out of it, please do not hesitate to contact us.

STEPS TO MAKE More Horsepower WITHIN YOUR Turbo Car with water Meth Injection

With regards to performance cars, tuners are usually in another of two camps: naturally aspirated or forced induction. Naturally aspirated vehicles provide a smooth power band, however, the only way to draw massive hp and torque benefits from an NA has been more displacement or by presenting a way of pressured induction.

Turbo vehicles have an enormous benefit for the reason that they are better than large displacement motors, are upgradable easily, and require significantly less work to increase power outputs. One popular approach to enhancing the performance of the turbocharged engine is to include a water Methanol Shot System to increase performance and improve engine dependability. Let’s check out what you ought to do to be able to add hp to your German performance car with a water Meth Injection set up!

HOW IT OPERATES

First, it's important to understand just what a water meth system actually does to boost your engine performance. In modern turbocharged vehicles, the air is inducted through the intake, through the chilly part of the turbo, goes by through the intercooler, and into the intake valve slot where it is blended with gas and combusted. You might know a Chilly Air Consumption and bigger Intercooler reduce intake air temps significantly, which enhances performance. It is because the cool air is denser than heated air, meaning more energy can be put into the combination for a larger explosion.

The thought of pressurized cool air is the traveling principle behind turbocharged cars, as they pressurize the environment for the same effect. Water meth shot further cools the consumption air heat by misting an assortment of 50% water and 50% methanol into the consumption behind the intercooler but prior to the throttle body. This enables the blend to vaporize rather than condense. The water-meth combination is actually vapored as it gets into the combustion chamber, where they have two main results: both reducing the temp of the intake air and creating a steam-engine impact. Both factors combine to produce a significant upsurge in performance.

Reliability and power

This already sounds like a large benefit, but water meth injection setups exceed improved performance. The addition of water as pressurized vapor effectively steam-cleans your engine internals, which supports performance as well as dependability. Moreover, a common problem with turbo vehicles is early detonation. This occurs whenever a pocket of warmth in the combustion chamber gets to heat high enough to ignite the air-fuel mix and contend with the ignition from the spark plug.

This causes ‘knock’ and is often heard in turbo cars with a sophisticated timing for performance tunes or in vehicles that use low octane rated fuels. With water meth injection, the low temperatures combat early detonation and boost the octane ranking. Higher octane rankings are more explosive, therefore the entire system effectively makes full use of most physical, thermal, and chemical substance properties to increase power and dependability.

WHERE YOU MIGHT GET Yours

So what should you make your own increase juice package? Snow Performance packages can be found either as common kits, or, regarding n54-driven BMWs, available as preassembled products. You will need a container to carry the combination, lines to perform the blend, a controller to program for delivery, and an injector to utilize your intake. Power, floor, and a controller component constitute the electronics, while a container and nozzle constitute the hardware. Beyond that, you should find where you can buy methanol to make your mix.

Water meth shot is a straightforward change that offers multiple performance benefits as well as improved engine efficiency, engine cleaning, and knock prevention. Hardly ever do adjustments offer as many upsides to performance, reliability, and simple set up. This easy update provides your boosted car a significant upsurge in power result as well as engine life. You may get all you need to put your vehicle on the increase juice diet the following at ECS. What exactly are you looking forward to!

Whether you commute several hundred miles per week, or only just once per month, letting go of traveling by car doesn’t feel comfortable to anyone.

While it’s possible to make automobile fuel at home, there are some other options you can, and should consider. If one method does not appeal to you, others may also work and give you better options when it is impossible to buy gasoline or other fuel types.

How Easy is to Make Gasoline at Home?

Gasoline is made from petroleum, which is essentially the remains of living things that died thousands to millions of years ago.

Be prepared to face some problems with trying to make gasoline at home that is comparable to what you would get at the gas pump:

Finding petroleum deposits that you can reach with drilling equipment isn’t easy, and most people lack the resources to purchase and process barrels of crude.

It takes a good bit of petroleum, water, and other materials to produce even a single gallon of gasoline, and the equipment is also very expensive.

Many of the sites online that claim you can make gasoline at home may actually be talking about biodiesel or similar fuels. You can make burnable automobile fuel based on alcohols and other “renewable” fuel sources, but it’s not the same as gasoline made from petroleum. The energy, density, burn characteristics, and effects on delicate engine seals and parts is very different.

Even if you have tools and equipment to refine gasoline, it can be a very dangerous process that requires a good bit of skill. Together with that, you will also need to be able to maintain the equipment and make repairs as needed.

Simply put, making gasoline at home isn’t something you can do by yourself, nor can it be done at low cost or in a residential setting. While you may be able to make small amounts of biodiesel, or even a hydrogen based fuel, gasoline is likely to be out of your reach.

ENERGY SAVING PLAN – Find out how you can save energy following two simple steps!

Start Off with Building a Steam Engine

Before you try to make any kind of fuel at home, think about how you can reconfigure the engine that powers your vehicle.

Historically speaking, the rise of the internal combustion engine didn’t come about just because this engine design worked better than the steam engine. Rather, it had to do with who got bank loans and how they marketed the product.

In terms of technological simplicity, fuel choices, safety, durability, and power delivery, the steam engine outranks the internal combustion engine.

So if you are willing to change an existing vehicle in order to use homemade fuels, start off by converting to a steam engine. Making this change has its benefits, and here are just a few of them:

You can burn just about anything to heat up the water used to produce steam. If you are interested in liquid fuels, or even gas based fuels, you only need to install the tanks. If vehicle has the right shape, you can easily power the vehicle on five or six fuels without any problem.

Even solar “panels” composed of black plastic tubing with water running through them can be used to heat up the water or keep it in a pre-steam state so that it takes less of other types of fuel to produce steam.

Steam engines might weigh a lot less than internal combustion engines, which means the vehicle will require less fuel.

If you use hydrogen fuels, or fine tune a solar heating system, the vehicle will have few, if any detectable emissions. Concerned about being followed or having the vehicle stolen? With this option, you won’t need to worry about electronic surveillance equipment following conventional fuel signatures.

Today, it is virtually impossible to obtain a consumer level automobile that uses a steam engine. Researchers are still looking at steam engines and working on them, so you they might come back into style in the next few years.

Research on the patents and materials for steam engines, and start with simple ways to boil water with as little fuel as possible, if you are on a low budget. From there, you can move on to building up pressure from the steam, and then using that pressure to drive a piston.

Some people have successfully converted automobiles to run on steam engines, which is a perfect project to experiment with if you have a homestead or a farm. It may be hard to legally take your vehicle out on the roads, but things can easily change in a crisis situation.

Rely on Water for Hydrogen Fuels

Hydrogen fuels offer more promise for an alternative fuel than most other types because it can be made from water and also natural gas.

But remember that during crisis, you won’t find automobile fuel faster than water. Processing some fuels requires large volumes of water, which makes it even harder since water scarcity forces other priorities to the top of the list.

With just a few modifications to your car, you could use water (which is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen) to reduce the amount of gasoline you need to run the vehicle.

If you explore hydrogen fuels further, you might create your own fuel cell to run an electric motor. This is quite interesting if you have a hybrid vehicle.

Check these patents and devices for converting your vehicle to run on hydrogen, or for getting started to develop your own ideas.

Fuel Cells – it produces electrons, which can then be used to power a motor. It differs from a battery because it takes fuel and breaks it down to release energy as opposed to simply store the energy. You can also find small scale kit you can use to start with fuel cells if you don’t want to build one from scratch, and this is a great project to pursue with children or grandchildren.

Garrett Electrolytic Carburetor – if you have a vehicle with a carburetor, this is the perfect invention for you: this design adds electrolysis plates to the lower section of the carburetor, and the plates break down the water to release the hydrogen and oxygen. There are similar devices on the market that break water down, and release hydrogen into the engine, and they won’t eliminate all need for gasoline, but increase mileage by a good bit.

Denny Klein’s Aquygen– even though these vehicles are not as efficient, the technology behind them is valid and will be better than nothing in time of need.

Hydrogen Booster Kits – these kits allow you to “enhance” the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines by injecting hydrogen into the fuel mix. Some kits are better than others, and results may vary.

As a note of caution, there are many people around the world trying to find a viable way to make vehicles run on water. Most systems either split water apart using hydrolysis, or they try to feed hydrogen and oxygen into the cylinder.

Before building something, check the viability of the plans you are looking at. Look or think about developing a system that pressurizes the oxygen first before attempting to use it to drive a piston.

If you need an electrical charge to drive a motor, look for ways to incorporate a joule thief or some other technology that will give you more current from what has already been produced.

Try to incorporate solar and other devices that can be used to generate power as opposed to simply relying on water or hydrogen. Generating heat to drive a steam engine would also be a viable answer.

Biodiesel

If you have a “flex fuel vehicle”, or one that runs on diesel, then homemade biodiesel may be an option for you. Depending on the recipe, making biodiesel can be dangerous, so study your options carefully and take your time when building and working with your equipment.

There are three main ingredient types you will need for making biodiesel and you can make or obtain them all from natural resources:

Fats or oils – this takes up the main bulk of the biodiesel, and you can obtain them from animal or plant based sources: spent cooking oil, scraps of animal fat, and many other kinds of kitchen waste. If you aren’t sure if a particular fat or oil will suit your needs, you can try visiting the Make Biodiesel website to see how different oils and fats compare to each other.

Alcohol – usually, methanol, or wood alcohol is recommended for beginners. Wood alcohol is not easy to make, but you can purchase some and work with it until you are ready to use grain or ethyl alcohol. Grain or ethyl alcohol is the edible form found in beer, wine, and other beverages, and you’ll have to set up a still and concentrate ethyl alcohol so that it can be used for making biodiesel.

Lye – it’s not only useful for making soap and opening stuck drains, but it also acts as a key catalyst for making biodiesel. While pure lye is still available on the market, it can be hard to get, so learn how to make lye from potash. Remember there’s a difference between lye made from potash and commercial lye: you may need to tweak your biodiesel recipe a bit if it isn’t already calibrated for homemade lye.

Video first seen on Utah Biodiesel Supply.

Unusual Biomass Fuels

A great deal of money and effort has been put into making fuels from corn and other crops that have a high sugar content. Typically, these crops are used to make large quantities of alcohol that can be mixed with gasoline in order to reduce the amount of petroleum used in the fuel.

While there are many problems associated with soil depletion and destruction of plant diversity (because GMO strains are used for fuel production), these fuels are, in my opinion, falsely touted as a viable alternative to petroleum products.

In the last few years, there has also been a push to develop fuels based on the extraction of oils from plants. For example, algae is seen as a viable source of fuel because a high percentage of the plant material is made up of oils. Some people claim that growing algae is hard, but actually extracting oil from algae can be a difficult and expensive process.

If you can get ahold of large amounts of algae, try and see for yourself if you can come up with a viable system.

In a collapsed world, the sheer amount of waste and chemical contamination of surface water will lead to all kinds of algae growth. Learning how to put this noxious stuff to good use for making fuel will be to your advantage.

Video first seen on Lucid Science.

The Overlooked Power of Natural Gas

Natural gas from compost and garbage dumps is truly one of the most overlooked sources of fuel in our country.

It is possible (but expensive and time consuming) to convert your vehicle to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquid natural gas (LNG). Storing natural gas safely, and then compressing it enough to provide fuel for a decent driving distance are difficult too.

While there are a few cars made to burn this fuel in the United States, they are far more popular overseas. As prepper vehicles go, natural gas has more than enough power to operate the kind of engine that will be suitable for rough terrain, however refueling and storing natural gas can be a problem.

Video first seen on GasitalyTube Italy.

If you want to pursue this path, start of by seeing how much natural gas you can generate from compost piles and other renewable resources. Make sure that you can use the gas for other fuel needs such as cooking and heating your home, since you can use it for other purpose if it turns out that you cannot use natural gas to power a vehicle.

What About Magnet Based Propulsion?

The basic purpose of the engine is to make it possible for the surrounding vehicle to move, which requires a certain amount of power to overcome the effects of gravity. There are different methods that can be used to achieve this goal, and magnetic fields can also be used.

There are toys on the market that rely on reversals of the electromagnetic field between the base and an object in order to make the object float. The same principles are used to power some of the fastest commuter trains in the world.

If you’re interested in this topic, your main problem would be keeping the car moving without having a nearby rail or other source of switching current to work with. If you are interested in powering a vehicle for your homestead, you can build a grid to cover the local area.

Research on advances in wireless current transmission. We are still far away from the system envisioned by Tesla, but wireless power transmission can easily be used to power vehicles levitating in a magnetic field.

Other Engine Designs

In some ways, building an engine for an automobile is not so different from building any other power generation system. At heart, both systems must generate some kind of spinning motion that will either push a vehicle forward or induce electrical current flow in a nearby coil.

Study different ways to induce current, and see if any of these devices can be used to build an automobile engine. For example, the Tesla Turbine can be run on compressed air, or even a steady stream of water.

As strange as it may sound, wind power may have far more to offer in terms of engine design than continuing with the concept of an internal combustion engine. Today, many materials can be used to make smaller and smaller wind turbines that may only require a tiny breeze or a slight shaking to produce an electrical current. Even sound or certain sound based vibrations in different media can be used to generate an electrical current that combines with other sources to run a motor, or even power a series of magnets that will enable the vehicle to break the bounds of gravity.

Remember, right now we are dealing with technologies that must overcome large amounts of weight. Simply put, the more weight you have to deal with, the more power it will take to overcome the effects of gravity. Look at lighter weight polymers and newer materials used to create both propulsion units and the surrounding vehicle.

Some situations can make traveling by automobile very expensive and complicated even on regular times. While a lack of gasoline is bound to be a problem in the post crisis world, trying to make gasoline at home is not a viable option.

There are other alternative fuel and engine design options that you can and should consider.

In most cases, coming up with something useful will take time and effort to come out with something sustainable and tangible, given the limited materials available to the average consumer in these times.

Dyno Test: Exploring Methanol Injection on a Turbo LS

When it comes to pump-gas performance, the name of the game is usually compromise. Unfortunately for turbo LS (or other) enthusiasts, real street (and some track) cars walk that fine line between drivability and maximum performance. Who among us doesn’t want big power? But who is willing to sacrifice our daily driven street car for that track-star performance? Not surprisingly, the two are at opposite ends of the spectrum, so catering to one side will negatively affect the other. Nowhere is this scenario more evident than the limitations presented with the use of pump gas. The elevated octane associated with race fuel allows a powerful combination of both boost and timing. The diminished octane offered by pump gas requires one or both of these to be significantly scaled back. The result of the reduction in boost and/or timing is a significant reduction in power. Though none of us want less power, it is a much better choice than the alternative, meaning engine damage from detonation! What the performance world needs is a way to combine the performance potential of race fuel with the affordability of pump gas. Time to let it snow!

The SBE LY6 test mule featured only increased ring gap. Extra power for the stock bottom end came from a set of TFS 225 heads, a BTR Stage 3 turbo cam and Dorman LS6 intake. This 6.0L combo was capable of producing over 500 hp in naturally aspirated trim.

When it comes time to maximize performance on a boosted application, the added octane from race fuel can be very beneficial. The additional octane (compared to pump gas) offered by race fuel allows you to increase timing and/or boost pressure to maximize power production. By contrast, the lower-octane pump gas will not tolerate elevated boost and/or timing values. For those unfamiliar, octane rating is actually a measurement of the fuel’s resistance to detonation, the higher the rating, the greater the resistance. The greater the resistance to detonation, the more timing and boost the combination will safely tolerate. Having to dial back timing or boost to compensate for the low-octane pump gas will definitely cost performance, but there is a trade off. As nice as it would be to drive around with full timing and boost at the ready, the cost to do so would be prohibitive for most enthusiasts. Imagine reaching deep into your wallet to pay for $10/gallon (or more) race gas at every fuel stop! Who can afford that, right?

To monitor the inlet air temps, we positioned a thermal probe in the inlet tract just after the Accufab throttle body.

For most, the choice comes down to high-priced race fuel and more performance, or, less-expensive pump gas, and reduced performance. We are here to tell you, there is a third option, and it’s called water/methanol injection. A little company called Snow Performance has been advocating the benefits of water/methanol for years, and for good reason. Their Boost Cooler systems have been proven time and time again in the heat of battle, and the systems from Snow Performance continue to evolve. So what are the benefits of the Snow Performance Boost Cooler, and (more importantly) how well does it work? The major benefits offered by the Boost Cooler include increased octane and charge cooling, both of which help to keep harmful detonation at bay while simultaneously allowing increased timing and boost for further power gains. In essence, water/meth injection can be used as an effective replacement for expensive race fuel. The methanol portion of the mixture offers a significant increase in octane rating compared to typical pump gas. When you toss in the additional charge cooling offered by the methanol with the anti-detonate properties of water, you have a potentially powerful combination.

Snow Boost Cooler kits start at around $360 (upgraded braided line kit shown).

So now that we understand the theory behind water/methanol injection, let’s take a look at how it performs in the real world. To illustrate the power gains offered by a Snow Performance Boost Cooler system, we set up a turbocharged LS test motor. The stock bottom end (SBE) 6.0L was somewhat famous, having already produced 1,543 hp at 29.2 psi for an episode of Engine Masters TV. Originally a Gen 4 LY6 short-block, the only change to the SBE was to increase the factory ring gap. To help produce power, the LY6 was treated to a set of CNC-ported, TFS 225 heads, a Stage 3 turbo cam from Brian Tooley Racing, and (for this test) a Dorman LS6 intake. Also present were 120-pound Holley injectors, an Accufab throttle body, and single LJMS Borg S475 turbo. The DIY turbo kit included reversed truck manifolds feeding a custom Y-pipe. The Y-pipe fed a single T4 S475 from LJMS, while boost was controlled by a pair of Hyper-Gate45 waste gates from Turbo Smart. To ensure safety, and allow us to run identical timing with both combos, we ran all of the testing on 118-octane Rocket-Brand race fuel.

The 6.0L truck exhaust manifolds fed a custom 2.5-inch Y-pipe build by JFab. Note the provisions for dual waste gates.

To get things started, we ran the non-intercooled, turbo motor at a peak boost pressure near 13 psi. The ignition timing was kept constant at 20 degrees, while the air/fuel ratio for each combination was optimized at 11.7:1. Run with a Holley HP ECU, the non-intercooled turbo 6.0L produced peak numbers of 856 hp at 6,600 rpm and 713 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm. After our baseline run, we installed the Snow Boost Cooler then configured the adjustable system to start the injection at 5 psi, then reach 100 percent once the boost pressure reached 12 psi. The results were immediate, as the power output jumped to 868 hp and 748 lb-ft of torque. The gains offered by the Snow Boost Cooler were dramatic through the entire rev range, with gains as high as 44 horsepower. Naturally we logged the inlet air temperature (IATs) during both of the runs, and the Snow Boost Cooler dropped the temps by nearly 100 degrees! Run without the water/meth injection, the IATs reached a peak of 200 degrees, but this dropped to just 107 degrees with the Snow system. It should be noted that no changes were made to timing or boost with this test, and the cooling effects offered with the water/meth kit would certainly allow more of both compared to pump gas (meaning the power gains would be even greater). So if you run on pump gas, and want more power, just let it Snow!

On The Dyno

The benefits of cooling the inlet air temps on a turbo motor have never been more evident that in this graph. Running the modified 6.0L LS with the single S475 Borg Warner turbo from LJMS resulted in impressive power. What LS enthusiasts would like to have 850 hp at their beck and call? Things got even better after we activated the Snow Performance Boost Cooler system. Running the specified Boost Juice through a #6 nozzle with a 5 psi activation point and full on by 12 psi, the water-meth kit improved the power output by as much as 44 hp. We liked the fact that the Snow system improved the power output through the entire curve. We also feel that a little more tuning with the Snow system might further improve the power output at the top of the rev range. The additional timing and/or boost available with this system (compared to pump gas) would yield even greater gains had we not run race fuel on both combos.

Air Charge Temp

Though most turbo guys will be more interested in the horsepower and torque gains, the drop in charge temperature was every bit as important. As is evident by the graph, the Snow water/meth system dropped the charge temps by nearly 100 degrees, from 200 degrees to 107 degrees. A little more injection might lower the peak charge temps even further, but we ran out of dyno time for fine tuning the system. It is important to point out we made no changes to timing or air/fuel ratio during testing, but the lower charge temps would certainly allow adjustments to both to further improve power.

With great boost, comes great cooling responsibility!

Our turbo system started out life as a set of stock, 6.0L truck manifolds. The factory manifolds were reversed to form the DIY kit, but still offered plenty of plug access and eliminated burnt plug wires.

Boost was supplied to our modified 6.0L by a single Borg Warner S475 turbo from LJMS. This S475 featured a standard housing, cast compressor wheel, 83mm turbine wheel, and T4 turbine housing.

Knowing boost control was critical, we installed a pair of Gen V, Hyper-Gate45 waste gates from Turbo Smart. Check out the open port (next to the vacuum/boost reference line) for water cooling!

Though they begged us to upgrade to the latest generation, we had nothing but good luck running this OG Race-Port blow-off valve from Turbo Smart. Note the multi-colored discharge tube we configured on our non-intercooled turbo motor.

We started by running the turbo 6.0L in non-intercooled trim. Run at a peak boost pressure of 12.6 psi, the turbo LS produced 856 hp at 6,600 rpm and 713 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm.

After running the baseline in non-intercooled form, we installed the Snow water/meth nozzle in the discharge tube. We selected a #6 nozzle for our turbo 6.0L.

Using the supplied plastic line, we connected the nozzle to the injection pump.

We took the liberty of hanging the water/meth supply tank on the dyno to gravity feed the injection pump. Note the plastic feed line to the pump at the bottom of the tank.

The major player in the water/meth system was the high-pressure injection pump.

Since we were using the Boost Cooler water/meth injection kit, we opted to include their Boost Juice (49 percent methanol, 51 percent distilled water).

The kit includes this hand-held, digital programmer/gauge assembly.

Using the gauge, we programmed the starting point of the injection for 5 psi.

We then programmed maxed injection (100 percent) for 12 psi

We then made sure to activate the injection by switching it on. Injection started once the preset boost level (5 psi) was reached.

Run on the dyno with the Snow Boost Cooler water/meth injection, the peak power numbers jumped to 868 hp and 747 lb-ft of torque, but the gains in the middle of the rpm range were as high as 44 hp.

New CSF High-Performance Intercooler System for McLaren 720S/765LT

CSF started out 2021 with a bang and it shows no signs of slowing down yet. With that being said, CSF is pleased to introduce a truly collaborative effort demonstrating the best in the performance aftermarket industry, 100% designed and manufactured in the USA. Here is the all-new McLaren 720S/765LT High-Performance Intercooler system – the latest solution to achieve the best quarter-mile traps and half-mile speeds, designed for the fastest and most powerful McLaren vehicles in the world.

CSF’s complete McLaren 4.0L Intercooler Kit has been expertly engineered and meticulously perfected through numerous design iterations with extensive performance and fitment testing. This cooling package comes with all of the necessary hardware and components for a complete plug-and-play, drop-in solution that does not require any modifications to install. The final results dictate that this intercooler package delivers 99% efficiency (vs. OEM 94%) along with lower pressure drop across the entire cooling system.

The CSF High-Performance Intercooler System for the McLaren 720S/765LT was designed using cutting-edge 3D scanning and prototyping equipment by RK Autowerks with an integrated custom-spec CSF bar/plate air-to-water core that is 68% larger than the OEM unit. Voodoo Design & Engineering further enhanced the design to ensure it acts as a complete drop-in fit solution that is truly plug-and-play. CSF consulted with M Engineering for testing, known as the #1 McLaren tuners in the world.

Apart from being more efficient than the stock intercooler, CSF’s core technology is also more resistant to heat soak compared to the OEM plate-type one. Not only is the core proven to lower IATs, but it also maintains a more consistent lower average temperature. Such is ideal for achieving optimal performance on cars with larger/upgraded turbochargers as well as maintaining maximum efficiency during racing or demanding driving conditions with repeated (i.e. track days).

Performance testing resulted in lower outlet air temperatures from the CSF Intercoolers, showing almost no increase in intake air temperatures during the entire course of the dyno pull. Not only do the CSF Intercoolers perform better than the OEM ones, but they also proved to decrease the pressure drop at high air mass flow. The OEM intercooler system resulted in approximately 1.0psi of pressure drop vs. the improved performance of CSF’s upgraded intercooler kit showing approximately 0.75psi of pressure drop.

CSF’s High-Performance Intercooler Kit is also a preventative maintenance upgrade, as the factory cooling system can leak over time at the core-to-tank crimped seam. This can cause serious problems, ranging from mild to catastrophic engine damage or even failure. And, after nearly one year of development, CSF is proud to release its much anticipated McLaren 4.0L High-Performance Intercooler Kit, allowing McLaren tuners and owners the ability to lower intake air temperatures, maximize turbo efficiency, and increase boost pressure in their pursuit of the fastest speeds in the world.
