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

 

just pipe your washer fluid hose into your charge piping and fill the washer bottle with alcohol........alcohol injection hmt style...

 

beau made his awic, yes it is possible.

 

Better be a good tiq welder!

 

You can totally do this - do a search on google, it's been done.

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

 

tig a tank around an intercooler that tests ok for no leaks, then feed it into the circulation of a heater hose, pump your engine coolant thru it.

 

If you are spraying water on your intercooler then I wouldn't suggest drag racing it at a track. They will get pissed if you spray water on the track.

 

if its for a drag set up just run a fuel cell instead of a intercooler and on race day drop some dry ice in it
