Mudge Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I dont know hardly a thing about turbos or intercoolers, so I'm new to this whole thing. Anyone given thought to air to water setup? If using regular coolant water, then it would be running at least as warm as the coolant temp (obviously), but I have no idea what kind of warmth is seen through a regular intercooler. It seems hard to imagine air heating up that much, but in talking with blower guys I know that they also watch thier air intake temps and it does get rather high. Any idea which is better? Primarily with road race in mind, soooooooo air velocity would not be a problem with an air only intercooler. Ultimately I'm looking for plus or minus to both. I guess location would be more flexible with an air to water setup, so long as I can get water to it one way or another. Front mounted radiator style could be exposed to rocks perhaps (bad), although also leaves open the possibility of running a fan(s) to it?

Mudge Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 Ok, looks like air to water is used for below ambient temps, with a seperate WP and rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
