The Cadillac STS-V intercooler cooling system holds a total of 2.6 quarts of coolant.\u00a0 That’s 0.65 gallons.\u00a0 The benefit of having little coolant is that it heats up quickly, and it cools down quickly.\u00a0 However, I wonder if there is more disadvantage to such a low coolant capacity.\u00a0 The LS9 engine in the ZR1 has a small rectangular intercooler coolant tank inline to hold more coolant.\u00a0 D3 offers a small cylindrical reservoir for the STS-V to hold more coolant and reports good results.<\/p>\n

I have ordered one of these AVS tanks hoping I can find a good spot to fit it:<\/p>\n

AVS 1 gallon aluminum tank<\/p><\/div>\n

The tank is 15.5″ long x 3.5″ diameter with fittings at each end. The 1\/2″ fittings will be a bit of a flow restriction for the 3\/4″ inner diameter intercooler hoses.<\/p>\n

For my next experiment<\/a> I a hoping to use the OEM heat exchanger with a front mounted heat exchanger in series.\u00a0 That in itself will add 1.9 Liters (2 quarts) of additional coolant inline.\u00a0 But I’ll get the tank in hand and see if I can figure out a place to mount it for an experiment another day.\u00a0 Then we can get some real data to answer this question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
