[QUOTE="raym5_0, post: 10874459, member: 94902"] I experimented a little with my KC this weekend, I blocked the front of my HE, to see if it would help any, the cold coolant in the IC system going through the HE is being hit with hot ambient air and is cooling it down some. I noticed that IAT2 temps were around 10 degrees warmer, also eng coolant temp up about 5-10 degrees. The higher temps are most likley from the decrease in incoming air able to hit condensor & raditator. I stopped a couple times for errands so it was pretty heat soaked, the system may have been able to keep up, if it were to run without shutting off. I'm usually around 100* IAT2 with 90*+ ambient air. Blocked it was around 108-110* IAT2's. I may change to a stock HE from the AFCO, or just remove it totally. Thus the IC system would rely on just the KC cooling it. If the AC goes out, I should notice the IAT2 temps pretty quickly on the Aeroforce gauge along with cabin temps. I suspect eng coolant temp and AC condenser should benifit from the extra air flow as well if the HE removed. I thought about the bypass valves, but as Tractionless knows, it gets a quite congested in that area for the extra plumbing involved. [/QUOTE]
