Auxillary Intercooler Resevoir

Curious if anyone has any information/suggestions about a larger air/water intercooler solution, engine bay or trunk mount solution such as an ice tank. I may be interested in running one in conjunction with a Magnuson Heartbeat and FI Interchiller. From a little online research, I didn't find an off the shelf solution/kit for the 6th gen Camaro yet. I'm not even sure it's a good idea for my interest/need which is just additional coolant capacity, if it creates more problems than it's worth, power consumption for supporting pumps, ect.

WEAPON-X Motorsports carries a trunk mount ice kit for the ATS-V which I haven't yet followed up on for compatibility with the camaro, it's on the higher end of the price spectrum of kits/units I've found.

Some 5-7 gallon generic ice tanks with a pump

You mean something like this?

This was prototype 1
prototype 2 is going on my car with a few revisions,
3rd should be perfect...

I'll be using the rule 2000 pump in mine but if it ever goes south I'll switch to a stewart emp pump

Can do it without the pump as just a resivor and radiator for a upgrade as well

Bolts in all factory locations...setup for 1" water lines

Is a modded jeep cherokee radiator with custom 3 gallon resivor over it, all in all between intercooled intake, resivor, lines and radiator I expect it to hold nearly 5 gallons

There is a tad more room for a bigger resivor also, I think I can get another gallon up top without much hitch

That's awesome, is it an upgraded engine or intercooler radiator/coolant-tank? My need is only for the coolant tank, not intercooler radiator. FI Interchiller recommends removing the SC intercooler radiator.

Now that's pretty slick! Just don't ever get in a frontal impact without that crash support.

currenlty only a radiator/resivor compound

the radiator (heat exhanger as most call it) oem should always be the first thing upgraded in a oem air water system, the stock ones love to heat soak

frontal crash bar is really only low speed good in these cars, I can beef up a crash bar to go on it if someone wanted

if my car ever wrecks it will likely be much higher than posted speeds and not really matter at that point lol
