Eaton swap cooling options

[clintons4]

Given the chance which would you choose if you lived in Houston where it gets freaking HOT

A gen II killer chiller or

Let me know your thoughts or if you think something would work better let me know.

I think Zack on CSVT is or has installed a Killer Chiller system on his Marauder.

I saw that. Just curious since both are priced pretty close.

I think the Chiller Killer is the way to go.
1 Because it runs through the AC refrigerant to cool down the coolant before it recycles
back through the system.
I can also see the benefits of the system being offered by Lethal Performance
One would complement the other.
It might be over kill but if you are not pushing it then you can turn of the AC and
just run the HE with the fans, vice versa

You are telling me to run both? I thought the KC would wipe out the heat exchanger?

[burt ragio]

Were Zacks final results of killer chiller mod posted ?

[clintons4]

I never saw final results. Also leathal shows two models. Does anyone know which one he installed? Has anybody used that leathal HE with the fans?

That's what I thought too.

I don't think he posted up results. Maybe old man winter got here sooner than he could post up results.

I thought one set up was strictly for the strip. I thought he installed the non strip set up.

I don't know the difference between the two. I wouldn't be setting mine up for stripping :D I take it in public daily :P

My main concern is the heat in Houston. Hell, the inside of the car gets so damn hot sometimes it's painful to get in. I can't imagine how hot the moving metal objects under the hood feel.

Give Zack a shout and see what he has to say.

I believe Zack has the standard kit. All of the new kits have the GenII heat exchanger, I believe it's 9 plates instead of 7 (or something like that). The standard kit flows freon to the KC heat exchanger then the car's cabin heat exchanger in series. Since the kit changes to a different freon which is more efficient, the reduction in cabin cooling from series heat exchangers is compensated for.

The drag kit is setup for parallel freon flow with a solenoid valve in the cabin flow path. The cabin uses an orifice tube and the KC uses an expansion valve. This is similar to the setup used for SUV's with front and rear air conditioners, especially if you leave out the solenoid valve. One purpose for the solenoid valve is so you can reduce condensation dripping on the track from the air conditioner.

Either setup can either eliminate the factory intercooler heat exchanger or keep it connected in addition to the KC. It is also possible to connect a bypass valve so the factory heat exchanger can be bypassed when the KC is activated. There are times in the winter, spring, fall that you may not be running the air conditioner but still need the intercooler fluid cooled off, so leaving the original heat exchanger in place can be handy.

Good to know, I will look into the bypass valve for the factory HE since I already have one of those. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?
