Intercooler fluid density ??

12-17-2001, 06:52 PM

I was talking to a fellow TALON member at Ennis and he mentioned someone on the list that knew how to measure the intercooler fluid density? Was I delusional or does anyone know what I am talking about??

He mentioned that you add some sort of additive to make the intercooler fluid perfect...

So...please tell me I am not crazy, does anyone know what I am talking about ?

Intercooler fluid is antifreeze and water.... Not sure how knowing the density would help. Going from 100% water to 100% antifreeze would not make a big difference in density.

What units would you measure the density in ?

I can tell you with some degree of confidence that the density of your fluid is ZERO when you have a son of b****, mother f***in, whore...****...mofo cracked out intercooler like mine...

Ahem. Strangely, that helped.

yeah yeah... I called last week. Doesn't make me feel any better right at this particular moment in time though... :/

Maybe it's the scrubbing the garage floor so I can paint it...That's no fun either...

Doug,
Oh I have no clue how this helps, just something someone mentioned at Ennis and am just curious on what the benefit was...

I don't know about specific gravity but it is supposed to be 50/50 mix and I use 6oz of Red Line water wetter product. You can measure ratio with an anitfreeze tester from the parts store 3 or 4 bucks. The dealer put nearly 100% glycol in my intercooler resivior anything over 50% is corrosive to aluminum parts and they only left one nut off my engine
