Replaced the stock IC fluid with a distilled water and one bottle of watter wetter lastnight. With 80 degree IAT1 temps with the car fully warmed driving around I was seeing 110-115 degee IAT2 temps compared to somewhere in the high 120's and low 130's. The IAT2 temps also dropped off alot quicker after a pull also and came back down to the 120 area quickly.


Just thought I would give you guys a heads up, may not make any power, but it helps the IAT2's some which in turn can reduce the heat of the heaton.

FYI I run a stock heatexhanger as well, with fans. Which I didnt have on during the test.
