    Bit of a performance update.

    I took the car out today into the heat, to check out the fruits of my labour - well, I am happy.

    Some of the stas and changes in conditions seen today

    1) Ambient temp 25degC, interchilled HEX inlet temp 28deg C, outlet 16DegC, post S/C w2a Hex, air temp 51 degC. Fuel temp 8deg C, interchiller coolant temp 6 degC, boost 10psi, EGT on both banks at 80kmhr 105DegC, radiator temp 77degC steady, roofrack HEX temp 49degC, running Interchiller on boost meaning 100% of cooling going into the water chiller loop.
    2) Ambient temp 36 DegC, interchilled HEX inlet temp 39DegC, outlet 27degC, post s/c HEX air temp 64Deg C, Fuel temp 12 degC, Interchiller water temp 9 degC, boost 10psi, egts on both banks at 80 kmhr 141degC, radiator temp steady at 80degC, roodrack radiator water temp 56 DegC, interchiller running on 100% boost.
    3) Cabin temps started to rise to 45degC with not a/c cooling so I dropped the interchiller off boost to stage 1 with the following results, inlet air temp to interchilled HEX 45degC, outlet 34DegC, post s/c hex temp 72degC, interchiller water temp, 14degC, fuel temp 18degC, boost 10psi at 80 psi, egts steady at 170degC at 80kmhr, roofrack radiator temp 60DegC.

    Still struggling to burp the engine radiator, cant get the engine hotter than 77degC at fast idle stationery at 1500rpm, minor air bubbles coming out up to 20mins, then gave it away. Only chasing the bubble free as better heat transfer and the low water level gauge drives me nuts for the first 10 mins then goes off.

    Did the benchmark Yarra Glen Hill to Christmas Hills today with @Rossco and @AB on board, bottom of hill 80 degC, top of hill 95 degC, maybe 70-80klm speed, loping along. With AB on board equivalent to 300L of fuel and 200L water I reckon.

    Car running like a bird, finally.
