Re: got a junkyard air to water intercooler, had an idea
I'm using my AC condensor as the heat exchanger for my liquid intercooler. It's big, it's light, it's free, and it's already installed in the car.
As for the liquid, I wouldn't use gas. I'd run a seperate circuit. Water is the easiest, and is what I would go with unless you are going to run something crazy like a dry ice box, in which case you will need something that doesn't freeze until a much lower temp. I'm going to buy a chunk of dry ice and some denatured alcohol and experiment myself.
