Air-Water intercoolers are mainly designed for DRag Racing.

If you want to put one on a daily driver, you could route a Tranny cooler/Oil cooler of some sort, and use that to cool down the water in the resivior.

This is something I jacked from honda-tech, this guy always posts his Air-water setup.. pretty low budget but is nice.




Keeping it ALL under the hood...

Notice the extra radiator cap for the custom aluminum reservoir in the stock intake resonator box location. The overflow from the intercooler system bleeds off into the stock overflow tank for the radiator because they use the same kind of fluid...

There's a bigass bilge pump on the frame rail to keep everything circulating... High volume, low pressure.



Front Mounted Fluid Cooler for the water for daily driver duties...

Yup, an inline pump of some sort, the one shown above the guy uses a bilge pump.

Sure, that will work, anything that flows baby.. I'm using a marine inline pump (not a bilge)
