I want to pack my IC tank with ice the next time I run at the track
so I was going to install a screen in the IC tank to prevent any pieces
ice from entering my coolant pump and making it fail. But before I did
this does anyone know if the inlet nozzle on the coolant pump already
has a screen ?

Thanks >>>>> INTHERED

It's supposed to be same Bosch pump as on Ford, if it is no screen on pump inlet.

yup, same as Lightning and Cobra... no screen

I have a similar idea, I was thinking along the lines of a tea bag type of holder made out of some type of mesh material containing some dry ice dropped into the tank and secured by some thin wire/string wrapped around the neck of the fill hole and secured by the cap!

Thats just a rough idea, I`m going to have to try some prototypes to come up with a final design.

Get a spray bar and spray the intercooler and run some Alky injection with it. That should cool it down some.
I don't think I would put ice inside the coolant. If you want to use ice, then build a tank to put the coolant tank inside with dry ice around it.

with the stock IC tank on the maggie you will not need to worry about the ice getting to the pump, It will not be ice long enough to make it there.

Sad but true. I've considered using an intercooler sprayer, like the STi or EvoIII, but I don't think I can carry all the needed extra fluid to actually make it work..

I recently had ECS put on the meth-injection. That should be a considerable improvement over the "inter-heater" of the maggie.

My friend has the CTS-V with a maggie. His intercooler is easily twice the size of ours. We need to find a larger intercooler, a double-core or such. Perhaps a small radiator from a compact import would work.
