Default change from fmic to water-to-air setup?

i currently have a fairly large fmic with piping n blah blah blah, i wanna minimize pressure drop. i researched a bit n found out how an air to water setup works n blah blah blah

i guess a normal water-to-air setup will only cool for about the first 5 mins, but if i get a kit or make a kit that has the mini radiator with a fan n what not its good for daily driving? i wanna maximize cooling for the radiator n minimize pressure drop... currently im havin issues with overheating n this is why i wanna convert to water-to-air system to open up the hole in my bumper.. is it worth doing? where's the cheapest place to get a kit or is it easy to jus build a small kit? thanks

stfu. It is forced induction related.

Most Daily driver Water-2-air IC's have a resevoir and or radiator to disipate heat.

stay out of my thread queer, useless... n this is the slowest section on the board, look as a response all i got was you n it had nothing to do with anything i asked you idiot.

things i want answered:

1. is it worth it to change over?
2. will it reduce heat during all times or stop working after a while
3. the mini radiator n pump with resevoir is necessary
4. will i gain anything from this or is it the same thing, if so this is why ill do it

1. Yes, if done right.
2. it will reduce heat during all times
3. isn't a question
4. less lag, but you'd have to datalog your IM temps before and after to see what would be best on the SR20.

I'd just stick with a FMIC. It's easier, you already have it, and it's less ---- to deal with. That being said, there's a reason why most high HP drag cars (turbo, obviously) rock a W2A ic.
