Water to air intercoolers.

I was going to try a W2A IFF my HMIC wasn't getting the job done. My intercooler setup get's it done. I see close to ambient temps cruising around town and even when flogging the thing at the track, they rarely get high enough to warrant anything else.

The big problem with these things is once you have got over the heat sink ability of the water you are back at square one and need to cool the poofter.

A little historical context is needed here. Renault F1 used to use water to air combined with air to air cores in like 1982, right after that they fucked them off for air to air units and water injection the only place a water to air is good is a super low duty event like a drug race, where you can fill it with dry ice or some other gay shit and get a benefit for 10 seconds, just before the motor lets go PAC style

So true about 2 things, w2a being good for very short drag race running. After that though, the water get's hot and there's nothing that can really be done about it.

The other thing that's oh so true, PWR sucks my sack. Good intercooler, but their customer service is fucking horrible. I ordered A "custom" intercooler from them, pais $100 in shipping to get it to me on time. THey fucked up the outlets. When I called them on it they got all pissed, I spoke with the owner who got pissed, not at his croanies for not being able to follow simple directions, but at me! Then they wouldn't reimburse me for shipping to send the thing back, and charged me shipping to ship the proper pne to me, they didn't listen and they painted thier logo on the core like I had specifically asked them NOT to. All in all I paid >$200 in shipping for a $400 intercooler. Fuck PWR.

Also slightly turned off by the W/A setups now as a bit of a search on the rx7club shows that BDC likes them.
