If you get the kit that still upholds your warranty, it comes with an additional intercooler and radiator..at least the Roush Phase 2 that I got put in during the first week of August here in Phoenix did. I didn't have a single temperature warning pop up. So I'm hoping I'm good!
The Roush kit comes with a new radiator? What is it like compared to the stock radiator?
No, an ADDITIONAL radiator, it's called the "high temp radiator" and goes in near the main radiator. It's just for cooling the oil, I believe. I'm not a car and motor expert though, so I might be wrong about what it does.
Oh, okay. That makes perfect sense, an oil cooler, which is a radiator. Thanks for the follow up.
You bet, Here's what the kit says it has, from online... so maybe that "high temp radiator" is the intercooler mentioned? I dunno.
Ah! Thank you! I kept getting confused when things switch between calling it "radiator" and intercooler. This makes sense. Bottom line, no problem here in Phoenix with over an hour per trip during 116-118 degree heat on the freeway, including lots of stop and go. A/C blasting the whole time. Temp gauge never moved.
The intercooler is actually inside the supercharger on a positive displacement supercharger like the Whipple or Roush.
Nice explanation. Thanks for the info!The intercooler is actually inside the supercharger on a positive displacement supercharger like the Whipple or Roush.
The heat exchanger (Roush calls it a low temp radiator, because the coolant never gets as hot as engine coolant) is the radiator-looking piece that goes on the front of the car.
Coolant gets pumped through the intercooler in the supercharger, into the heat exchanger where it is cooled off and then returned to the supercharger.
A front mount intercooler is the piece in the front of the car that the air from a centrifugal supercharger or turbo charger goes to cool off before entering the throttle body.
Thanks for the detailed information on this. Very cool. heh...The intercooler is actually inside the supercharger on a positive displacement supercharger like the Whipple or Roush.
