Re: quick intercooling question..
How about a few of the heat exchangers in parallel for the air to water IC, or just a bigger one. What about a single core half radiator? When you shoot down every idea is ridiculous, you aren't giving yourself many options. Right now you have water to air IC but you're afraid of heat soak, which is understandable. Air to air ICs are out of the question because you don't want to do any kind of fitting or a little bit of difficult charge pipe plumbing. There's always meth injection, but you'll find something wrong with that I'm sure. So you can think of something, or you can die.

Both Harry and Mindy Davis run water-air ICs on their Toyotas, I know Mindy picked up a LOT of temp drop from a bigger heat exchanger in the bumper over stock And Harry's car runs pretty cool for a water-air setup - IIRC, it's in the ~110 degree IAT range during the summer, either at idle, cruise, or from a WOT pull. I'm not sure what it runs in the winter, but I guarantee it'll be warmer than a non-IC setup due to how water-air setups heatsoak. I disagree with Harry about his oversized pump selections as I think he's running them without restrictors (which would introduce pressure into the system and bring a smaller pump's flowrate way up), but they can tell you about in-bumper core sizes. They probably have some good sized OEM Toyota units, too, that would either be big enough for you, or you could easily run two of them.
sales@mr2guru.com will put you in direct touch with Mindy, she also posts here as MR2 Gurl but I don't think she logs on more than once a week. Don't be timid about tech because she's a she, as she knows more about cars than most HMTers.
Do you have a Tractor Supply or Northern Tool where you're at? I might be able to bomb in and take pics of the $45 1 gph petite pump I recommend for water-air and light duty water injection.

how do I not know what I'm talking about? water i/c's are ------- stupid for most street cars. /topic.
If he's so worried about his crx bumper get another one from the yard and cut it up and save his stock one.

4. Go die in a fire of aids
5. Hotrex?

he is talking about a street car right?? then 500 is pretty high.. high enough that you should have a pretty good idea of what you are doing and dont ask stupid questions about ---- like this.
