Once again i dont knwo where to post such an item.. cause well i dont see a tech thread or w/e... so i figure post here...

has anyone really used a Air Water intercooler, thats the set up i plan on going w/ for my Z when i go Turbo... instead of a Air to Air set up.... i hear alot of good things about the set up...

 

 

if your wondering mikey, the technical section is just above all this thread section, just click and your in it. navigating this site is very easy, but putting stuff in the main area is acceptable as well. as for the intercooler ive never heard of those on a street car before, but it could be benificial to performance. do some research online, im sure that theres gotta be something online. keep us posted, could make a new wave of changes!!

 

Well i know how they work just wondering if anyone has used them. i was planning on running it right where the stock airbox is. It uses it's own water circulation and a mini radiator set up. you can also put Ice inside of the water box for 1/4 mile, dyno run applications

 

I know of several guys that drag around my area, that run air-to-liquid 'coolers. One particular Honda [Grey Civic Hatch, you might've seen it run, Nismo] runs a 70/30 mix of alcohol and water in his box, and packs dry ice around it and the intake piping just before a run. Works wonders on a 20psi twin-cam Honda.

 

yup i even had thoughts of running freon of somesort in the cooling ducts hahaha

 

^ And on that note, the Ford Lightning has the option of using the A/C system as a temporary "Super-Intercooler". So yes, it can be done.

 

we we are thinking of using a refrigirator style cooling system for it... me and my buddies are working on it for our project mk2 VW gti 2.0 20v turbo....
