Who lives in the South and has a Killer Chiller. I am contemplating investing in one before I port my blower. I know how much power gets eaten up during the summers in AZ. How has one in the hot part of the country (im talking 75+ 100+* days a year) held up to the immense heat and wear of our summers? Also, am I going to see a loss in interior cooling power with one installed?
Killer Chiller(in cab temps?)

I just bought one the other day from a member here! I live in South Texas so I'll be interested to see how this summer goes once I get this and a whipple on:rockon: I'm sure it's gonna make one hell of a difference even with the eaton!
I was going to buy one. I did a lot of research. I found out that the A/C will not be able to keep the car cool enough in the summer. If it's a daily driver I wouldn't do it.
Where did you get that info? If it is done right you shouldn't experiance much of a loss in cooling a all!
Works like a champ. Incab cooling suffered though but works good enough.
is this cold enough???
I have one. It did not effect my in-cab AC, it was still cold. My post intercooler water temps were 37*. I played with the pressures in mine with a Harbor Freight AC gauge system. And that was on R-134A. I would not hesitate to do it.
anyone run it at the track etc? i mean isnt running with your ac on parasitic?
So next question do any of you guys have your h/e bypassed?
Ac shuts off at wot
And the mass of the coolant allows it to continue to cool for a significant period of time before eventually heating back up.
By that time you will likely be:
a. Done with that particular pull and as soon as you lift the a/c kicks back on to re-cool the I/C fluid.
b. Done accelerating on that straight and entering the braking zone, so a lift will initiate the A/C to come back on until the corner is completed and WOT is re-engaged.
running the ac system all time like that..isnt going to tax it too hard? i dont use my ac at all in the summer...250 ac all day lol..
im trying to battle this heat soak with this kb2.8h..looking at meth..NO..or this.
i know about the meth and spraying in to intake tube not being the most efficient etc. so..
6 months a year my a/c is on max these things are made to run all the time.
are you guys running big 5 gal water tanks in the trunk? or just under the hood stuff?
I recently changed to a larger underhood IC tank, reduced my POST WOT spike I was getting after letting off on a 1st thru 4th pull from approx 115* to around 110* now.
I have everything well insulated including the IC tank. I'm averaging around 85* IAT2's now, after the spike takes several minutes to drop from 110 to 85*. I believe the main reason for the spike I see, is the closing of the throttle plate after WOT, limiting the ingestion of cooler air on the IAT sensor. Also per Joe at kincaid, the OEM sensor is prone to heat soak as well.
I have not played with my high/low pressure settings, and running regular refrigerant and not the commercial grade that some have had better results with. I could probably lower with some more adjusting...but I'm not pulling timing, so may leave as is...
I'm seeing around 19-20psi on a gen 1 whipple with RR 2.8 upper stock lower.

i have a larger under hood from lethal just dont want to waste money on something that doesnt do much.
Yea idk how worth it this would be for you in the Northeast but i gotta think it helps a ton down here in the summer with our 75-100 100*+ days.
