Supercooler / heat exchanger
Re: Supercooler / heat exchanger
That is what I did only plugging hoses is an ugly business, never find the correct size plug and there are no caps that I feel safe with for capping the outlets. Like the goezouta fitting on the i/c aluminum lines by the radiator tank.
The water in the supercooler has never gotten hot enough to puke out for me and thats at 5 -6000 rpm for up to a minute in autocrossing in all seasons 35 to 90 degrees.
Week end again but windy and no R/C flying for me again....AAaargue.........Woody

Yes plugging hoses is ugly! Not pretty but very functional.
I will be flying RC this weekend...Really Cool in my SRT!

IMO you'll to design in a pressure relief valve. Same idea as a radiator cap or a water heater.
Without a surge tank for the coolant to expand into (or release pressure)........ You run a high risk of your intercooler bursting since it's nearest to the heat source and the weakest link and ingesting coolant into the engine.
