homemade water intercooler
can it be done i was thinking of getting an air to air intercooler and use it as a core and build an aluminum container around it and hook it up to a water pump to circulate cold water around the core what do you guys think and how big do think the core should be for 500 hp

get an aquarium pump and a windshield washer revivour put the pump inside the tank and then run a line up to the IC make it spray on the outside of the fins and hope for the best. actually better yet get a fuel pump and use that it will pupmp more water . but your gonna have to keep filling up the tank

Air to water intercoolers kick *** for efficiency - water is a way better conductor of heat than aluminum. The downside is increased weight. Get about as small a core as you can find - it'll be plenty large enough

that makes no sense, you want cold water, not hot *** coolant from your motor
