project: water to air intercooler

AWD-

i thought that might be the case...but i don't see why it wouldn't work the other way, too. either way there is only thin aluminum between the cool water and the intake charge
 

Gemballa made one and so did Callaway but you can't find any info on them anymore. Believe me I've tried. So I'm going with a Q45 V8 mated to a 300zx tranny. When I get all the pieces together I'll let everyone know what the turbo V8 is going into.

Here is my setup using a GMC Syclone / Typhoon H20 Cooler, GMC syclone/DeQuick Dual Pass Heat Exchanger, Shurflo Pump, etc. Sure the engine might not be as clean as some, but is a daily driver 3 days/week and it smoked a C5 by 10 car lengths last week at 120 MPH when I shut it down. Even after a full run in summer heat, the intercooler stays cool to the touch.

My nextdoor neighbor just took delivery of a Z06, so as soon as he breaks in the motor, he is my next target.

Different make, but related topic: Does anyone know who has Turbo-Charged & Intercooled a Porsche 928 successfully? There are several supercharge kits, but no turbos...prolly since makers are afraid of folks turning up the boost and killing the motor. Only 8 or 10 psi equals 500+ RWHP on 5.0 Litre 928!
