Default Trailer Park Water Intercooler Part 1

Here was my current setup




Its getting to heat soaked this summer at the drag strip. My solution is a water intercooler + dry ice or liquid CO2.

Here are is a shots of the fitment




The intercooler is from an all trac toyota celica, it was a pain in the butt to locate.

Didnt I say its was a trailer park water intercooler?

I'm modifying a ford probe intercooler to be a radiator.

I'll post pictures if you wanna see.

Thats just so ninja, lol... I think your car is capable of better times, its probably just the driver

Oh, and yesterday it was 90 degrees at the track, and I saw a civic with a FMIC run 10.3

Here you go

What I did is remove the intake ports, then I got some sheet metal I had around and make circles to close the ports. I have drilled on the side of the intercooler a spot for two nipples. The problem was the two nipples needed to be on the same side, but for getting the 'oldest' water, I needed to pull the water from the other side of the intercooler. What I did was put a hose on the end of the a nipple before I inserted into the intercooler. The hose allows you will get the water from the other side of the intercooler, problem solved.
