Keep the Temperature Down with a Snow Performance Stage 2.5 Boost Cooler

Hot air isn’t a good thing if you’re an engine with a turbo or supercharger. Boost makes horsepower, but it also creates a lot of heat. The more boost, the higher engine temperatures can get. The next thing you know, you’ve got detonation issues and big problems.

A Snow Performance Stage 2.5 Boost Cooler solves that problem by injecting a water/methanol mix into the engine’s air intake. The system’s VC-50 progressive controller uses a MAP sensor to inject the mix in proportion to manifold boost pressure—the higher the pressure, the more water/methanol mix is added. This dramatically lowers engine temperatures to reduce the chances of detonation. Water/methanol injection also cools the incoming air so the engine gets denser, oxygen-rich airflow. That improves drivability and even frees up some horsepower.

Snow Performance says you can see a temperature drop of up to 100 degrees. As an added bonus, the methanol can increase 91 octane fuel a full 25 points to 116 octane race-level gas. That’s a big plus when you’re running lots of boost and high compression on pump gas.

The Snow Performance Stage 2.5 Boost Cooler has an OEM-quality injection pump rated at 300 PSI. The pump has a proprietary heat flange, twin seals, and custom motor windings so it runs cooler and longer than the competitions’ pumps. O-ring connections are sealed and potted to keep moisture out of the pump, which reduces corrosion and heat that can shorten pump life.

Other features include:
• Supports up to 1,000-plus horsepower
• Set injection start points and monitor system with the included handheld controller
• Methanol-resistant stainless steel, nickel plated, and hard-anodized parts
• Hyper-Sonic water/methanol nozzle with 80 micron filter
• ACU-Seal water/methanol compression fittings (nylon tubing systems only)
• Low profile nozzle holder
• Low profile high flow check valve
• Stainless steel braided line with -4AN fittings

The Snow Performance Stage 2.5 Boost Cooler is made in the USA and can be used on any carbureted or fuel injected engine with a turbo or centrifugal supercharger.
