How to drain your CAC (Intercooler) with out taking it out.

Quick little liquid vac I made. Just an idea for anyone else.

Just be aware that the vapour maybe explosive, I caution anyone trying this, just to be safe the vac should be rated for flammable liquids. Just to be safe.

Good point. Forgot to mention that. I need to put a warning label in all my posts hah.

This would also work with the compressed air vac. That would allow you to measure the amount of crud you get out of the CAC.

Yeah that would work great as well. I'm going to attach my inspection camera about an 1" from the end of my suction tube and see what I can get out tomorrow. I'll post a pic if it's a notable amount. I'll also poke around in the intake to look for carbon. Maybe the compressor side of the turbo as well.

Hey ShoBoat, do you have a part number, etc, for that vacuum pump you used?  Googling air powered vacuum pumps I did not find anything near that nice.  Would love to try this myself, will at least give me some piece of mind until x-mas when I can get a catch can

This would do the job.

Anyone near NE Ohio is more than welcome to stop by and use my scope/ fluid pump.

That should work also!

Same here if you are in the GTA and want to swing by, I can give you a hand with this. Send me a PM.

If you have an air compresser and a blow gun nozzle. You get a piece of tubing like the 3/8 hoses used for catch can.   Make a small notch that the blow gun will fit.  And you blow away from the car towards your empty jug. It will work too.  Used to do this to empty radiator to swap t. Stats or change upper hopes..

Great idea, panther!

You all know what sets this forum apart from the hate one, you guys all seem to put your minds together and come up with great ideas like this, and alternate/better mount locations, etc.  Really like to interact where there are other brains working and seeing things I may not be thinking of.  Hats off to all!!!

Oh, we still desperately need a F150 EB for the new CNC throttle body testing for mid next week now.  (were in West cent FL gulf beaches area). Owner gets free dyno sessions and a FREE first release CNC pattern port throttle body, and initial testing of the prototypes showed great gains.

Email us at: RXProducts@aol.com   if you can.

Thanks!

I just check my intercooler and there isn't a single drop of fluid in it. I'll post the video in a min.
