Hey guys,
I was doing some more work on the car this morning and found that I have had an air lock in the intercooler for more than a year, including the last MTC. This will not happen again.
For those of you with a W2AIC, I highly recommend that you use this bucket method to be absolutely sure that there is no air in the system.
I'm still waiting for the hose connectors to arrive so I can attach the hoses to the new heat exchanger. This time I'll make sure that there is no air in the system as I put it together.
Having a working intercooler means that I will make more POWER! YAY!

Here are some more changes.
  • Hoses are now attached to the new heat exchanger.
  • Additional holes put in the front bumper to improve airflow.
  • I moved the intercooler filler to be directly above the intercooler and the coolant pump. It was previously in the engine bay.
  • I added a separate overflow bottle so that the system would never be allowed to suck air in as the system cooled
Note that I love to use cable ties
They are lightweight and definite race car worthy.

having a bleeder in the top outlet of the HE helps in getting rid of air in the system too.

The additional holes in the front bumper improve the look quite substantially IMO! I loved seeing (and hearing) this at Wakefield, nice work Glenn :)
