I think you would want a slower pump, not reduced line diameter. That would result in higher pressures in the system. More volume, slower flow is what you want....not less volume slower flow.

Correct me if i am wrong please someone.

haha yes smaller hose will increase pressure


maybe thats why i didnt see drop in iat.. maybe i lost alot of pressure with the addition of the new cooler.
cars have high pressure cooling systems = more heat transfer maybe??

help

for my air/water intercooler on my turbo setup i tapped a couple 1/2" fittings into my windshield washer fluid tank and have the biggest a/c condensor core i could fit, pumped around with a small farm sprayer pump - seems to work quite well, gotta watch the level in the tank closely though!

you know for years i have been staring at that AC condenser thing dripping ice cold water on my headers and thinking what a wast cant use it ..

tomorrow i will install metal shields on the sides and top and bottom of the heat exchangers it will come out about 1-2 inch in front so the coming air will hit the metal shields and go thru the exchanger and not just hit it and go over it then maybe install two small fans to pull the air..

i think this will work
