I need to get a more accurate measurement of the water temp. Does anyone make a water temp. sending unit for a RX1 that fits on the water lines on top of the head. Any idea’s, what has anyone else done?

Jeff, I am sorry if you took my comments as a cheat shot. I apologize if I have worded my thoughts poorly. My point was and is the hotter the intercooler the less efficient it is. Next, I do not have a dog in this hunt. I sell no products. I have just been passing on infromation about this...

A very good question was asked. When would someone not use an intercooler? Let me give you just one. If I was going to use a sled for trail riding or the type of riding where most of the time I would only use short bursts of speed. To pick the system to use or make, my primary considerations...

Jeff' a cars radiator and are the same in the fact that they both would use Fourier's Law for heat exchange. But a cars radiator has a thermostat installed in it to keep the temp up, also water and air do not have the same thermal conductivity. My guess is that a cars radiator works much...

Jeff, I feel that you make a very good system. But please don't support your product with examples from a car engine; I think they are supposed to be at 180 to 200 degress. You have been nice enought to give some numbers on your web page. Looks like your intercooler is about 33% efficient, is...

OK it is just plain physics. The frist law of thermodynamics states that two things put together will seek the same temperature. Then Fourier's Law basically states that the rate of heat flow equals the thermal conductivity, times the area, times the temperature gradient. Looking at Fourier's...

Boyko, very good reply, I agree with you, and your post is just an extension of information from my post, very good. I do feel that the basic RX1 intercooler installed in most sleds needs a lot of improvement. The intercooler in most kits works something like this. With you driving your car...

Hi Fred, thanks for the info on clutching, it has been real helpful. I am considering getting your secoundary clutch, I may need a quicker back shift. I'll let you know. Now back to intercoolers. Hey, I just pointed out some issues about intercoolers. I know that in the right applcation...

Intercoolers are they needed are not? It is true that at some point with a lot of boost you need to control pre-ignition and intercoolers can help. If you are not at that higher boost level then you don't need an intercooler. It is also true that a cooler air charge will help with power. In...
