Thread: Disguising my intercooler

After read info and the opinions here, I think I am going to do the a/w setup again. a 2-3 gallon cell w/ antifreeze(maybe some water wetter included), jabsco pump and a large heat exchanger w/ fan should be just fine for what I am using it for, plus I can add ice for extra insurance if I ever decide to do the track.

I can only point you here for a good read: Fusion Intercooler

Alot of manufacturers use them.

And if you dont think circuit racers DO NOT use them, the celica gt-fours (2nd gen RC and Carlos Sainz edition) as well as the gen 3 GT-fours (and I think the Group A/works corolla) used them in thier works cars for rallying for something like 5-7 years (atleast 5 for sure). So if properly engineered, a/w setups are (in some cases) almost 100% efficient (if the water/liquid/working fluid is kept at proper temperature)

The issue I do see (sans post above mine) about the a/w setup, is the added weight (as you have to add pump, heat exchanger, lines, reservoir, and a few other things) in order to have a proper working system.

And then when all said and done, you have to find somewhere to put all that stuff..........It becomes expensive, cumbersome and time consumption to get one up and running correctly for daily applications


See my drift??
