Anyone built their own chiller? I'd like to have a BTU style vs ice.

Post em up!

Hi Chad. I made one and put manifolds on both stockers. I SCORED big time for the manifold parts. I went to SRI Performance in Mooresville NC last year during Charlotte. All and everything NASCAR surplus. Bought 2 manifolds and all the fittings for around $100. I did have to convert them from AN to regular radiator hose style. I used a cooler and a 1/8 hp 110v pump. I use ice and or ice packs we keep in the motorhome. Works AWESOME and very budget friendly. I like the commercial ones but couldn't justify 3k for the amount of times we use it.

I have one made from a used beer chiller.Works great could get the TS car back to under 60 in a few minutes. 110v plugs into shore power and works like a champ. If you wanted you could get it into the high 30's on the hottest day.

Unit is basically like this one. Took some minor plumbing changes

Ill try to get a few over the weekend and e-mail them..... I don't think I even have a photobucket account anymore. Pretty soon you'll be able to drive by and check sheet out. We just bought land in Julian, NC.

Sup Nay-ba!!
