A/A & W/A

[MYYellowTY]

Has anyone run both Air to Air into a Water to Air setup or thought about it.I have a ATR large upper intercooler and a KB A2A setup and was thinking of which to run.I use the TY as a daily driver but run it hard ALL the time.Ive read on the advantages and disadvantages of each.And since track and highway benefit A2A,and W2A is good in stop and go wouldnt the A2A running into the W2A then TB be best of both?I was looking to get a Intracooler since I ALWAYS have the AC going but cant get a used one at a reasonable price.Let me know if its a waste or should have some benefit.Thanks ALL!!!! :tup:

w2a is not good in stop in go, its not good for anything except drag racing because you can cool water below ambient.....after a few hard wot's you will heat soak and thats it, it will take a while to cool down. IMHO i would go a2a if you plan on beating it on the street....

Meth injection would be your friend

Here's what i did, i got a 12gal. fuel cell ,ran -12an to upper intercooler and one to lower intercooler. I don't drive my sy as a daily driver just on weekends and the intercooler H2o stays cold.Drop some Dry Ice or fill it with Ice.If you use dry ice make sure you have a vent or you will be driving a Bomb! My upper intercooler gets really cold when the pump moves the water through it.I have no problems with it.

D916, where/what pump do you use to move the H2O? I like that setup except for the required "holes" in the bed. That looks like the perfect A2W system. :tup:

Re: A/A & W/A

those who don't like w/a are probably using the stock setup. i have a scirocco radiator with the flexalite fan setup specific to that radiator. it fits nicely where the spare tire used to be. i have a custom upper as well that fits where the old one did.

use this pump:

all my shit is used except the pump and the intercooler core. after i sold the stock upper and lower exchangers i had less than $50 in the whole setup.

i would pit my setup against any a/a setup. after a good 1/2 hour thrashing in the summer my IC is lukewarm at best.

I got a sureflow pump (got it at the RV store),where the stock one use to be,It's flows the water through the fuel cell just fine. I put my finger over the line that sucks the water through and almost lost a finger. That was the only bad part the 3"x3" hole in the bed,O well!
