Ok... stupid **** floats in my head all day... some ideas are good some are not so good...

While thinking about water to air i/c's, you must consider a heat exchanger (radiator) to drop the temps of your coolant/water/alcohol...w/e...

If you live in a warmer climate, what if you simply disconnected the coolant lines to your car's heater core... then pipe the lines from your water to air i/c to the heater core.

That way, w/e you need, you can drop your windows and put your heater on full blast for a couple minutes to chill your coolant and possibly drop intake temps.

Good Idea ?
Bad Idea ?
Needs Work ?

M.A.R.C.

the thoughts that run thru you and dave's heads. bump for u

Seems like it might work a little bit. Your air/water IC would be inside the dash too... hehe.

Then you can somehow wire the HVAC controls so that at full boost (using AEM or hondata outputs...) the fan turns on full blast hehe.

Well I meant to have a standard bay mounted air water i/c, but route the coolant lines to the heater core to act as the heat exchanger since it's designed for coolant anyway.

I've noticed when a working heater is turned on that typically the heat reduction can easily be seen on the temp gauge, so the core obviously works well to drop temps... I'm just not sure if it works well with lower temps (as the air/water coolant won't be nearly as hot as the engine coolant).

I'd test this out...but I'm n/a right now and have no use for it.......

eh I left the word exchanger out between 'IC' and the word 'would'.
