I was looking over the new car last night and thinging about how similar this car was in desigh properties to my old Typhoon in regards to the forced induction lay out. The SyTy's used an air to water intercooler as well with a small pump and a radiator underneath the truck. The SyTy's ECM monitered a temp sensor that switched the pump on at a given temp (I don't off hand remember what it was though). The draw back to this is that the water would get very hot and the intercooler heat soaked durring the delayed turn on time for the pomp putting a crutch on perfprmance.
My question is. Dose anyone know if the the RL intercooler pump is switched on and off via a temprature switch through the ECM or dose it run all the time?
If it is not running all the time there can be some small gains available in either hard wiring the pump or bumping the temp so far down in the programing that it will automaticly be on all the time.
Just curious if any one has looked into this yet..
