i know this is a bit off topic of the A to A... but i remember reading in the Maximum Boost book that is floating in PDF out there that for a track car people have run what basically is an Air to Water but instead of water and the heat exchanger, have the inside filled with wax! it mentioned that wax can absorb more heat energy as it transitions from solid to liquid. this wouldnt work for a DD but for a track car it might be worth linking about....
does anyone know what the outlet temps are for the M90? and yes i know temp would go up with boost.... so lets say temps for 8psi 9psi 10psi and 11psi. i had toyed with the idea in my head of using the AC compressor to cool the intake charge! this would be much simpler then building an A-A ... but might need a bigger condenser for the system.
one think i was thinking to make a W to Air IC more efficient is to cut the elbows off the core and make each pass its own pass. cause when you think about it cool water flows in at one end of the core and gets warmer and warmer till it exits... as it gets warmer it isnt cooling the charge as much. if you have more fluid running thru it, it will cool more! would prob need an adapter to merge the flow and a larger volume pump to accomplish this though.
i just figure its worth trying something that has potential to cool better or be simpler then spend time and effort on something just as complicated with less benefit.
