Thread: Air-to-water intercooling

I've got my reservoir mounted in the drivers fender well. I'm not running a heat exchanger but i don't see any reason why ac wouldn't work if it's done right. I may be able to come up with an a2w kit for you guys...

That would be pretty sweet.

Trunk and run lines forward. You get increased capacity and cool down that way. I have pics somewhere I can post.

Sounds pretty good. Running the lines seems like it may be challenging though

Sorry, keep forgetting pics. I will post some tomorrow.

No worries.

Here is one of my G20:



This setup has about two feet of IC piping, all 2.5". The pump is mounted on the trans driver side mount and water lines run through the intake hole by the fender. That was a quick throw together from spare parts, but was super effective with a T28. I daily drove that setup 240 miles a day mixed driving and running 10PSI. I had no water reservoir on this setup. The cooler was behind front bumper and between the lines/cooler/IC it held quite a bit of water.

Here are a couple of my NX:



In the NX, the turbo feeds directly into the IC and there is about 12" of total IC piping between the IC and TB. Hard to beat that! This setup has the pump and a reservoir in the hatch and 1/2" lines running to the engine bay. I wanted to be able to run ice in the system on track events and only keep the reservoir half full typically. It is a fuel tank so it has foam baffling that keeps the water from sloshing around.

Here is the MotoIQ SR15VET now running water/air IC.

This is vpulsar's setup:

Very nice thanks for posting the pics. Do you remember what model of pump your running? Also with your nx setup did you run the lines through the passenger compartment or under the vehicle?
