kinda weird thought but, air-water as radiator
 
ive been trying to play around with ideas for manifolds for my crx but the hardest problem im having is what to do with the radiator, as all you know space is very limited in a crx with a b so my thought is maybe making a huge air to water intercooler and have that also take the place of the radiator, i think it would be a cool idea if i would be able to get good cooling from it. i mean i just take the ratiator water connections and hook them up to the ic. interesting idea, anyone have any thoughts?

ummm...do you mean using it as both the ic and the rad?...if so that wouldnt work well, since the engine coolant is very hot

yea that would actually hinder cooling if i understand your idea correctly.that would heat the charge air and there would be no heat extraction. best bet is to K.I.S.S

or create the first ever v-mount in a crx
