intercooler pump....

[ion20redline04]

My intercooler pump is fried. I'm get'n a new one. But will that affect my quarter mile times that much? My car jus doesnt feel as strong as it once did.. anyone with an idea?

shkeek 360 had horrable gas milage due to the wires

i've already had the wires switched and it the pump still didnt work. It took me like 2 months to get them to check and relize it wasn't working. But could this be cause'n my car to lag?

Sure it can, as the charge air temp gets hotter (over 170) the car starts pulling timing and dumping boost. It can lose more than 10 percent of it's normal output because of that...

Enough.... You have plenty of Super Bird threads to screw around in and have fun.

I dont know what could be goin on with the car. But it doesnt feel right, my car jus dies on top end now. I know my first and second gears are my best but 3 jus feels like blahhhhh and 2nd isnt as strong as it use to be

That'd be exactly what it does..which is the reason I'm not really getting on my car right now..pisses me off when I do.

Depending on what IAT the car is looking at, there's still some question there, looking through the HP tuners stuff, the car starts pulling timing at 100 degrees. If that's from #1, then it's not too bad, but if it's #2, then you're pulling alot of timing with no intercooler. In the winter, when it was 20 degrees out, I was seeing almost 200 degrees post blower with no intercooler, and 60 degrees with it. That's 140 degrees and about 15% of the density gone. That's BEFORE the car pulls timing on you.

I was on the phone with sheek360 earlier and he said check my intercooler to see if it was wired backwards because I have a 05. And i check and it was bubbling and not really flowing down smoothly, so I think its wired backwards and was going to take it in tomorrow to have them take a look at it. The problem being that the Saturn dealership I go to (saturn of coconut creek), doesn’t seem to be on the up and up with Redlines. Is it going to be a big deal for them to take a look at it or even know what the hell I’m taking about?
