dandan Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Does anyone see any major problems with this idea? I have a (relatively) small intercooler with good connection sizes that would fit in a nice little space as an additional water rad. Planning to come off the bottom rad hose into additional cooler and from that to the engine. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I'd have thought that a water rad and an intercooler would have totally different cooling designs, fin gaps, pressure tolerances ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 There are differences yes. That's why I'm asking. It wouldn't be a good idea to run the other way around due to the pressure drop through a coolant radiator core. This way round I think the trade off is slightly reduced cooling vs a specifically designed coolant rad core. However it's going to cost me peanuts, be fully reversible and will give some benefit in coolant temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
