cough cough give this one a try
Pete, liking what I see… can’t wait to see the finished product in person. When you get a solution on the pump, def. let me know and i’ll be in on it! Would also like to take a look at the reservoir that you installed…
Sounds good, working on that and a fan now! I’ll text you some photos later on.
Can’t wait to see how well it works.
^^ welcome to AR, infinkc.
Thanks, I signed up awhile ago, never got the activation till recently. Getting tired of the az politics.
Well since i don’t have edit privileges, will reply.
Curious how an aftermarket pump will install in the b8.5 as all the connections are at the driver side now. Wonder if there is enough room in there for the 2 pumps.
I think i am going to try the Edelbrock HE, looks like it will fit perfectly and have the connections in the correct plaes.
How are you planning to log the temperature after install?
The site owner has been screening approvals. Too bad the guys here didn’t know you were waiting, but in the future if you ever know someone who is in limbo waiting for approval, PM the site owner (username: God) and he will approve them right away if you vouch for them.
I’d vouch for him, but it’s not really necessary now.

It’s working great so far. IAT’s look awesome.
Glad to hear, hope you break my record so I can get motivated lol.
^^what record? 6th fastest B8 S4? 2nd fastest GIAC?
Fastest manual S4, since we both have manuals.
Is that a CX Racng core? I used one of their double pass exchangers on my IC system.
For what it’s worth, the bigger reservoir isn’t beicial. Tons of testing on cobras and L’s to prove it. Basically what it comes down to, is that with the increases fluid capacity, it takes longer for the fluid to get hot, but once it does get warm, it takes forever to cool. You want very little fluid with a very high flow pump and an efficient heat exchanger. The only benefit to the bigger reservoirs s that you can fit a bunch of ice in the to run at the strip.
You guys should look into doing something similar to a killer chiller. It uses the a/c system to get the fluid to about 40 degrees.
A killer chilller on a supercharged Audi? Great idea.
B6Joe, I had the vortech aftercooler kit on my mustang… I would make several dozen 16oz solo cup ice blocks that would drop right into the resvoir… I also put a petty cock at the bottom so I could drain most of the fluid, add the ice, make a pass, and repeat… It did wonders for the IAT’s… I also had fans hooked up blowing air across the heat exchanger when I was in the staging lanes… Had a seperate switch to turn them on/off… Haven’t dicked around with it on the S4 though…
I had the core made by a local place actually.
what are the dimensions of the core? Do you have dimensions of the APR or AWE core?
George, just got home and per your pm, the apr is 17 inches H x 25 inches W x 1.5 inches T… Also, on the width 1.5 inches of each side is the end of the exchanger so true frontal area is 22 inches… Hope this helps… Let me know if you need anything else and welcome to the b8 club ;D
No reason it wouldn’t work.
