Once I get my TIG welder, one of my first projects is to make a water to air intercooler out of an 84 Mustang SVO ic. Dimensions are: 12X6X3 inches(2.25, 2.5inch inlet/outlet respectively), and i plan to shape the aluminum around the ic to hold about a gallon of water at the intercooler.
I want to know if this setup would work well for a daily driver with around 400whp, and when tracktime comes, I would just dump some ice in the in-cabin resevoir.
any pics of custom setups including resevoirs??? I know Abaz from Homemadeturbo.com is working on something like this...I just need to learn a little more before I commit and sell my montrous dodge ram I.C.

I was actually reading about this but it was a spearco ic, from what they said it's for mainly race cars but can be used a really modded street cars as yourself. They said it keeps the keeps the temperature below ambient all the time. I would go for it since your motor seems to have plenty power.

I have made my mind, and Yes im going for it. Anybody have any pics of ANY kit? custom or prebuilt???
there were some great water to air custom articles at Autospeed.com but they've reorganised their site so i dont know where they are right now.
scanned the first 300 or so articles and this is the only one from what I remember that I could find
their new site sucks
