Re: Pump for rear IC system
any ideas on the "T" sititation??????????? yeah I said sititation
What were you gonna use??

Re: Pump for rear IC system
The Dumlers used a "grid" of plastic dividers in their cooler. Almost like some cut up storage shelves. It was supposed to keep the ice from slushing around.
What are you going to do for a drain?
I was thinking you could always run dual pumps. One pulling out of the cooler in bed, after the bypass valve, and one pulling out of the CACHE in front.
Good luck with everything, neat project.

Re: Pump for rear IC system
well the drain was gonna just be the cooler petcock. I was gonna have almost like a dual system. one for every day and one for racedays, which is why I need the "T"!!!! So both systems will have coolant in them at all times....

Re: Pump for rear IC system
I was going to baffle the ice-chest as well. Something similar to that, and the ice chest will have a drain in it as well as an overflow drain pan (think industrial A/C unit). I still have to get with my local SCCA contact and see what all I'll be allowed to run (because of this:
2006 SCCA Solo II Rulebook
Section 15.10.C.2 - Except for standard parts as defined in these rules, the external use while on course of liquids, ice, dry ice, refrigeration systems, vaporized compressed gases, etc. to reduce the temperature of the intake air charge is prohibited.
Section 15.10.C.3 - Air-to-air CACs and radiators for air-to-liquid CACs must be cooled only by the atmosphere, except for standard parts.).
I may just be excluded from competition if I run a ice chest, but I could be prohibited from running at all if they see it as a safety concern (which is likely what they have this rule for.) Lot's to consider before jumping in feet first. I still plan to relocate the heat exchanger to the bed at the very least (I want as much weight moved between the wheels as possible.)

Re: Pump for rear IC system
A lot of stuff at this point is theoretical, so I haven't actually put my hands on the "T" I'd like to use (though I am aware such an item does exist.)

any idea where one would find such an item??

Re: Pump for rear IC system
I'll look, but in the meantime, google the crap out of marine/fluid transfer stuff. We have them on some irrigation equipment around the farm, but a 15"+ round valve would be a bit overkill for us.
