Thought some of you may be interested in seeing pics of my water to air ic install...

nice setup!
It certainly takes up less room compared to a air to air IC. Any numbers before and after IC install?

Working on getting some numbers....will let you know as soon as I have some concrete data...

Looks like it should work good. I know alot of people laugh at the idea, but it works on tractors. Anything is better than the $1400 Kennedy unit that hangs in harms way... Let us know on those numbers. If it works good you could probably market it.

If you get much more of them wild colors under the hood we'll have to start calling you rigger ya know...

lol....nothing says 'hotrod' like orange and blue...

I am not a big fan of some vendors out there so I tend to make my own stuff...

Once I get a copy of Stefan's OBD I Tech II clone I will post up some hard numbers (IAT being the biggest concern of course)...

the IC a homebuild or off the shelf?

homebuild....

IC core is a spearco unit that I found for sale locally
Pump is an auxilary coolant pump from a VW Beetle 1.8T (12v continuous duty - looks like a Ford Lightning intercooler pump)
I used two trans coolers for heat exchangers (I may add a third for even better cooling)
Reservoir is made out of 3" ABS plumbing fittings - total water capacity of the system is around the 2.5 - 4 litre mark
