Can someone point me in the right direction for cooling and to help the heat soaking

intercooler.


PWR, PRL, etc

Upgraded radiator and cooling plate from WOT looks to be the way to go. The problem with intercoolers is that they block the radiator.

I added 1/4" spacers (hardware store bronze bushings - in AZ no worries about dissimilar corrosion) between the hood vent and its drip shield, using longer bolts.

I installed the WOT Cooling Plate, exchanging the supplied Allen head fasteners for 6mm x 20 flange head bolts. The Allen heads were fiddly compared to flanged, hex head bolts in my opinion.

I covered the airbox with Thermotech fiberglass backed, self adhesive foil.

IAT's generally lower than before. Zero downsides other than time & money spent.

Did the spacers allow for more heat to exit the hood vent? Curious about this...

Get an intercooler, Cooling plate and upgraded radiator . If those don't alleviate your concenrs then an oil cooler and turbo cooler should get the job done.

Please elaborate on the observations, conditions, expectations and areas of cooling intent.

I am curious... but could use more details please:

Did you put the spacers only on the two front bolts? or all around?

will these 8mm aluminum spacers work (slightly longer than 1/4" but Prime Day discount...)

is this the Thermo-Tec heat shield you used?
