Could theoretically work for an oil cooler though I suppose... wouldn't be the best thing, but if you have nothing else haha.1988 Chevy Sprint Turbo 997ccComment

Yeah lol I agree, but I've seen it done before on other cars.Originally posted by sasquatch View Post1988 Chevy Sprint Turbo 997ccComment

Think of the heater core working opposite of what it was designed for, cold water running through the heater core with warm air from the turbo passing through it = water-to-air intercooler

i dont think it will cool the air enough.... its not big enough...Originally posted by Damkid View PostThink of the heater core working opposite of what it was designed for, cold water running through the heater core with warm air from the turbo passing through it = water-to-air intercooler

dry ice
What you need is one of those dry ice intercoolers with a coil inside to do the heat exchange.
Where to buy dry ice?
Why would I know?
I almost bought a dry ice blaster setup off of the Bay.
It sublimes on impact and does a great job of taking off mold, rust, paint, grease and oil with no mess to clean up.
Check it out...
Time to dry ice blast your Festiva!
Did I mention it is safe to use on electrical systems?Last edited by bravekozak; 10-22-2010, 07:43 PM.Comment

Being water-to-air, it doesn't need a huge surface area to be efficient since i could dump ice in the resovior (<-sp?) tank and have ice cold water cooling the air, mainly for the track thoughOriginally posted by sasquatch View Post
Besides, an air-to-air intercooler mounted on top of my engine near the firewall would not be that efficient either since there'd be little airflow moving through it
