[QUOTE="mlackke, post: 16464609, member: 187511"] Thanks all the support :) After some checking many things, pump cavitation, removing air from the system is not cause for high IAT, but IC itself. Water flows just fine through the system and when IAT's are hitting 150f-160f, water out from IC is max 80f, so something is not right. So thinking either: - Since IC- heat exchanger is self-fabricated and works as double-pass method: >------| <------| Between the arrows there is small plate inserted what ensures that water goes all they way to end of IC-core and back. Suspecting that plate has come off which means soon as water enters to ic, it comes out and only small portition of water is fully circulated whole heat-exchanger which would explain why it cools so little, but still warms up a bit. - Fin-densitity is too large on heat-exchanger causing air going fully through it. Heat-exchanger is originally ment for turbo water-to-air where fin densitity is ...50% less that normal water radiators (eg Terminator IC-core). However as air needs to pass heat-exchanger TWICE before entering manifold, I doubt this could cause the issue based on temps. - Air simply it not going through heat-exchanger. When air enters out from air-pipe "[URL]https://www.svtperformance.com/attachments/ed79vx9-jpg.1602207/[/URL]" it is not 100% air tight, meaning 1-5% max of all air could slip out directly to manifold. But even such case i doubt i would see that high temps if 95% of air is really cooled down. Result: Coming weeks need to remove the blower and open ic-box and test/understand what is wrong. So not giving up, but lot of work ahead to fix this. :confused: [/QUOTE]
