Magnacharger IC Coolant Pump

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.

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.

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.
