I’m confused as to why your point of reference is the iat? It’s a coolants additive. There’s lots of other factors for hot iats other than just coolant temp.
You realize I put it in the intercooler system and not the engine coolant system right? Iats are the ONLY point of reference for an intercooler system.
Didn't you know Royal Purple is just an excuse to refer to my vehicle as " Barney the Purple Dinosaur " 🤣 good attitude even though you didn't like it 👍
What Purple Ice and other additives do is reduce the formation of localized steam pockets in the head. Water has to be near the boiling point to form steam. The water in your system isn't nearly hot enough for Purple Ice to do anything.
They say to use it in intercooler systems? This type of product works much better as far as heat transfer when mixed with plain water. You obviously have to use antifreeze in your system since you're supercooling the water to begin with.
Haha the label on the bottle says it works fine with antifreeze. You're just making excuses at this point. Probably because you use the stuff. After making this video I've noticed a trend that people that use this product will defend it like they make it...even when they have zero evidence that it does anything at all.
@@TractionControlusa I've never used it. ALL Purple Ice/Water Wetter-type products make a claim regarding temperature reduction, usually in the 20-30 degree range. If you do the slightest bit of investigation you'll find that this degree of temp reduction is with plain water. When used with antifreeze they claim a maximum of about 6 degrees.
I tried it in my supercharged GTO before getting my interchiller and I didn't notice any difference but kinda hard to tell with engine and outside are temps and humidity constantly changing.
not according to the instructions on the bottle. says will work with 50/50. the whole point of the video is that it doesnt do what people think it does in an intercooler system.
It tells you on the back of the bottle to use purified water, not distilled. Its also mainly used if you wanna use a straight water setup in your ice tank or radiator.
@@TractionControlusa If I understand correctly, are you running an interchiller along with the trunk tank? I’ve been trying to find out if anyone’s been running both, with no luck. I have an intercooled Magnuson 2.3 on my 6.1 hemi, and I’d like to go for a trunk tank and or an interchiller.
@@chrisiztheman1618 if you are considering an interchiller I suggest watching our other video specifically about the improvements we made to our interchiller system
i wonder if lowering the temperature is even good thing in a stock properly working car. the manufacture designed the system to run at a specific temperature . Furthermore how can this make the engine run cooler if the thermostat is opening and closing at specific temperatures? Also if this stuff works so well why wouldnt manufactures add it to their coolant?
It won't do anything in a car or truck because the system forces itself to an operating temperature. It's designed to. It's actually a problem if you don't let your system operate where it's supposed to. Your fuel system requires temperatures in any newer vehicles. Try it on a pre 2000 model I bet it does more.
I've seen no "control" in these test on YT so far. Shutting your hood will increase IAT temps. Also, IAT isn't a direct reflection of engine temps...so IAT as a control doesnt work... especially if you shut or open your hood. As for sitting there allowing your car that already has mechanical temp regulations (fan, thermostat, fans etc) you're not going to see a drop in temperature unless you surpass the car's ability to cool bc your car is also heating itself up, & then regulated by those mechanical aids. Especially if you have an icebox in the back of your car you've already modified your car to further retain cooler temps. This test will only work if you surpass your cars ability to "naturally" let's call it, cool your engine. An idea.... Radiators are regulated by the thermostat. And your thermostat regulates temperature via pressure that opens the thermostat, allowing water to cool the car. So, adding ANY cooler additive like let's say a cup of ice (not enough to actually cool the volume a car holds while being heated by the engine, would only temporarily delay the time of pressure building to open said thermostat. For example... If you added one cup of ice every half hour let's say, the cars heat would surpass the cooling capabilities of ice spread out through that much time, thus not reflecting an actual drop in engine temperatures. All it would do is increase the time that it took for the thermostat to open (or X pressure/ X heat to be reached)... Or decrease the amount of times the thermostat had to open. I'd say a safer test on a personal car might be to monitor how often a thermostat is opening, or how often fans have to kick in to aid the water. Other than that someone with me too have the thermostat either removed or held wide open... Unplug the fan... Let the car idle and find its regulated (without mechanical aids) temp. Then adding Purple Ice and see 🤷♂️
and open or closed hood does it affects IAT temps with a chiller installed. This test was in no way ment to monitor engine temps. If you actually watched or listened the whole point was to see if it would affect the intercooler temps at all. Which it obviously it didn't. A lot of people out this stuff in their intercooler fluid and sweat it helps. You probably want to go argue with them.
@@TractionControlusa I see I see. That's a chiller 🤦♂️🤣, fair enough, I miss that part. I get what you're saying here... however, this product isn't meant for this type of a test. That's all I'm trying to point out here. It's like using a fork to cut food with...it can work, but it's not really it's true purpose. All it does is increase the surface area that water contacts surfaces to. In order to cool it needs a large surfaces like radiators, that are normally at or over 200⁰. It's not magically changing water into colder water via chemical reaction or etc. Far as I know a chiller is uses the AC to cool the water. And At 63⁰, there's less of a threshold here to cool. Meaning, hot cup of water at 180-220⁰ (radiator temps), cools at a higher rate than say... a cold cup of water at 63⁰. I didn't hear anything about the size of the intercooler you have, but I'd assume it lacks the same surface area as a radiator. Those are two huge factors, plus it being aided by AC, is all going dramatically lessen it's ability to work. I don't mean to be semantical, but...if you get how it is achieving what their claiming, this video isn't representative of proof it doesn't. I'm going to try my bottle in my weak ass radiator here soon 😆. Ps. Nice car, pss...I want a chiller now on my Z06! Thanks 🤑 lol.
@@MaxwellReviresco agreed. I didnt think it would do anything from the start. That's why I did the video. Lots of guys think it does and there's no arguing with them.

You don't even have the correct tools to preform this type of test.

Funny, because that's not what it says on the bottle ..or in their advertising videos.

And, again, it is in the cooling system. Not in coolant that has been supercooled with the A/C system.
I use vp cool max always worked. Plus i run rotary engines and they run super hot.
I have an rx8 , i use 30% prestone, i can mix it with cool max?
I use royal purple or water wetter in my RX8 and I live in Phoenix. She gets hot.
Put it in my Colorado and Pathfinder for the hell of it, don't have digital engine temp read out, hard to say if it helped any.
I tried it in my supercharged GTO before getting my interchiller and I didn't notice any difference but kinda hard to tell with engine and outside are temps and humidity constantly changing.
Needs to be 100 percent water/distilled enable for this to work properly.

It will also make a difference in two and four stroke engines.
You realize this was added to the intercooler system and not the engine cooling system?
Here for the idle.
You need lab conditions to measure the difference.
Isn’t the chiller totally different from engine cooling system
yes. it has nothing to do with engine cooling. yet people put this in their intercooler system anyway.
Can I mixed with a 50/50 antifreeze or no on a diesel truck
Yes. Mine is a 50 50 mix as well
Why did you sit idle? Maybe under driving conditions ?
Kinda hard to record a video while it's moving lol.
Next try cool down from VP racing
Hard to say whose best keep cooling system down.
Nobody ever listens to Turtle
