I wish to clarify the whole AC compressor turning off/staying on thing. While the AC compressor doesn't actually turn OFF, it DOES lower it's effectiveness considerably due to it being a variable displacement compressor. Variable displacement compressors can go all the way to a nearly zero duty cycle as the rpms climb up. If they didn't, AC pressures would sky rocket and the system will be damaged.

What this means is that the interchiller will still lose some of it's cooling capabilities at WOT. Just not as badly as an older clutch style compressor would.

Either way, they kick ass.

The ac not turning off is something you should tune. It is covered in the instructions for the interchiller and they show you how to log the ac pressure so you can be 100% sure it is shutting off at wot.

I can’t say if they kit is worth the money or not. I can tell you I am doing a max effort chiller set up and their is no way it is worth the money. Screw it though, I need somewhere to throw away my money.

Didn't know about the tune. Thanks!

"Max Effort Interchiller"? Couldn't find any info on it... Any links?

I am not referring to a kit. I am doing their stage 2 set up along with a good sized tank, 2 pumps and a giant a/w core.
