Trunk Ice Tank PROS and CONS! Deep dive on trunk mounted ice tanks. || Tech Talk
Ойын-сауық
In today's video, Justin takes a closer look at a common trunk ice tank for air to water intercooling systems. We see a few of the pros and cons, as well as discuss some potential consequences that have disastrous results if they aren't properly addressed.
With all of this in mind, what would you like to see in a trunk mounted ice tank if VMP were to design and manufacture one?
Drop your suggestions in the comments and we'll definitely keep them in mind as we explore this solution for the challenges of making big power!

Here is what would be cool for an ice tank from VMP: Same trunk options with mounting solutions for popular aftermarket pumps (EMP, CWA, etc..). Hose size options for 3/4, 1 inch, and 1.25 inch. And...most important, a solenoid valve option with a switch in the cabin that can be used to bypass the heat exchanger when actually running ice.
I'd like to see a plastic version. You could also insulate it! Like a Coleman or Igloo cooler.
The inlets and exits I think I would do like a cage style instead of flat to allow for water circulation
make it have all those features plus some kind of bypass at the front radiator in case something does go wrong in the tank you can isolate it from the system. hope that makes sense. Also on the one i had from pbd when draining since it sits lower than the radiator in the front it would drain the ice tank and the radiator if left open long time. Thats no bueno! Some feature to make easy to swap entire system from antifreeze to water only. Some tracks are requiring this for track days. Then you need to swap back to abntifreeze as you go back to street to prevent excesive rust on the engine, radiator, etc.
Nice!
A way to have a warning the pump is working
I would like 1 for my 2016 mustang, I have a gen3R. Sitting on a built motor...make 1 for us Justin..
They made this video due stangmode and Zander13 having problems with there ice tank with vmp odin on top tvs heat soak quickly once you start pulling down aggressively

Exactly lol
Well it is really scary to hear about detonation and blowing the motor. A lot of us take our cars to the track but also drive it on the street and to shows etc… it would be good to know if an ice tank is worth the risk for a street car and what kind of difference it makes in performance. To me, if it only cuts a tenth of a second off that is not enough for a casual racer to justify the risk of blowing the motor and having to pay 20k to have a new one put in the car.
You know the trunk mounted ice tank would actually be very efficient with a set of aluminum cooling tubes mounted above the floor of the tank and below the pickup fittings. especially if it was chilled bye a N2O solenoid and pressurized CO2 just using a coiled tube set with a bleed jet on one end and a charge fitting running off the solenoid on the other end. No ice would be required just a 15lb bottle to run the solenoid would chill the liquid without any ice internally to plug the pickup fittings. Thank me later.
Would an ice tank that fits where the battery use to be located work? Would it be big enough? Obviously my battery has been relocated in the trunk. Should I use methanol injection instead of an ice tank?

Underhood tanks can be a great solution too. If you're stuck on 93 adding boostane or methanol injection is a great way to get octane up. Boostane is very reliable since it's mixed into the fuel.
