2019 Challenger Widebooty HellKitty (she's giving me the meatsweats...)

Man do I ever love having next day delivery again.

Look Mom, non-dribbling check valves!

I just realized I could wire this into the horn relay. LOL. Press honk and wiper motor sprayer to initiate.

Hoooooooooooonk! Whiiiiiiiirrrrrrr!

LOL - will they threaten to take away my birthday?

As I posted above, the system needs to be tuned to achieve balance to avoid saturation and avoid becoming inefficient (ie. dripping).

You get the meatball flag and your race is over. It's happened to me a couple times.

 

[motorheadmike]

All done. I'll see if it does anything of significance later this week.

Where's the reservoir again?

Where's the reservoir again?

It is the stock windshield washer tank and pump. Right side front of the engine bay.

So the supply is that tank, but it's y'd off and has its own pump? I'm at least thinking ice water, but then again washer juice is half alcohol right?

12 minutes of blower whine.

The Hellcat catches a widebody Redeye around the 7 minute mark.

This dude is meh, but he does reinforce my point about hitting a road course. It's the most fun you can have with your pants on and it lasts for a good 20+ minutes. Until you do it yourself, you cannot comprehend how much skill is a factor. I know Pontiacgp gets it and there are likely others here too that do. Until you get your *ss handed to you by an inferior car or you get smoked on a straight by an identical car it won't make sense. Luckily when I was in training, I gave very few point bus.

Nope, using stock washer pump too. Just pull a fuse for the wipers and activate the pissers like normal. I can always try a mix of ice water too, but the juice may not be worth the squeeze. And for how well atomized the washer fluid I was testing with was... and how much vapor ended up in the air (and in my lungs) from a short test in a bucket I will abstain from using alcohol due to the flammability.

No question that road racing is a trip. But, I'll stick to autocross.

Didn't realize you autox'd, that's good. I did it once last year in the Camaro 1: to spread the NASA gospel and 2: find weaknesses in the car in a new environment. I intend to return this year with my improvements to make a better name for myself. The Auburn diff hurt on the road course and murdered (me) in the autox.

This is pretty cool:

SRT Power Chiller™ — This innovative, award-winning feature comes standard on both the Challenger SRT Super Stock and SRT Hellcat Redeye, diverts the air-conditioning refrigerant from the interior cabin to a chiller unit mounted by the low-temperature circuit coolant pump. Charged air coolant, after being cooled by ambient air passing through a low-temperature radiator at the front of the vehicle, flows through the chiller unit, where it is further cooled. The chilled coolant then flows to the heat exchangers in the supercharger. By lowering the intake air temperature further, the results equal an improvement in performance

That's cool as hell.

Remember when 400 hp was really something?
