Re: maybe a new idea
funny, I had a similar idea.. problem is, no air passes over your heater core so it won't really cool the liquid in it. this makes it a very poor addition to the IC circuit.

Re: maybe a new idea
Its been done, it you run your heater on hot with the AC on, and the IC connected to the heater core. It doesn't make sense until you look at the passages, the heater core is in the same passage as the A/C core with the hot position. their was also IC system that had the a/c line in the IC. It was expense at $1500, and it made the engine bay that much more crampped.

Re: maybe a new idea
Are you talking about the heater core? I guess it would work if you wanted to sit in the staging lines with the heater turned on full blast.

He knows that... What he is asking is if it would do well if coolant were passed through it...
I don't recall the exact size of the lines but it can't hurt to try... Record your before and after MAT sensor temps and let us know if it works well or not..
Good luck..

Re: maybe a new idea
ive had the same idea for a while now, the stock a/c radiator in front of the truck, should work quite well, you just need to get some adapter fittings.

Richard is the one that gave me the idea of using this.

Re: maybe a new idea
had another thought instead of running the condenser for the ac i was thinking about swapping in a junkyard radiator from an itsy bitsy import or something. one of those four cylinder cars with the little bitty radiators. maybe a mid 90's civic or something

only problem is the upper/lower fittings and filler neck usually protrude out pretty far...

just run an air to air intercooler.. they really are not that expensive just need the piping. i woulnt mess with a condenser becasuse the flow would suck being all tubing is so small.

Re: maybe a new idea
Sucks not having the AC but I have been using my AC Radiator for my Tranny cooler. Been doing that since 1997/1998. Works great and keeps the temps way down. I don't even run the tranny fluid throught the Radiator anymore. No point.. why heat it up since our trannies don't like heat anyway.
