Basically I am toying with this idea on the civic, don't ask why. I am one seriously weird person.

What I want to know, if one were to take a sidemount, and weld an aluminum tank around it and have it sealed completely so that all that you'd see of the sidemount would be the inlet and outlet, would that be sufficient enough of an air/water cooler to do its job.

I want to keep this HMT so making one would be cool, I'd also be making the aluminum water tank for the rear hatch.


...or maybe I'll just spray a ---- ton of methanol on it and run no cooler at all. Told you I was weird.

 

my first one was made out of a dsm side mount but i did it wrong i built a water box around the core and flowed water through it the best way to do it would be to change the core so that your cold water goes on the inside and make new tanks for the charge air to flow through. basicly reversing the way it worked before
