Nicehaha, thanks for the heads up. Makes a bit more sense.

 

I see what you are saying, BUT in RACE applications, A2W are the best fit. You pack it with ice and they are awsome. My brother is going to put a Mondo cooler or "fun box" on his Y-si Mustang bc it is for the track only. If for the street, a 4 core A2A is the best thing out there..........

 

Brian, I see what you are saying, but...

He lives in San Marcos, where its always 75 and sunny.(After noon, anyway). I think that he'll see more benefit from the A2W for a few reasons.

1 - the obvious, race day, that thing sees icewater and effeciency increases.
2 - Water and air are identical, chemically speaking. The difference is that water has more surface area to "expose" when going through the heat exchanger, thereby 'exchanging more heat' than with an A2A situation, theoretically.
3 - Even if #2 is the opposite (due to more surface are retaining more heat than it can cool, in the given amount of time), then there is still the benefit of rpedictability. There will be much less temp. fluctuation in the incoming air charge, due to slower heating/cooling of the water in the system.

#2 and #3 kinda contradict each other a bit, I know. I am not sure which situation I would put my money on, but either way, he'll see the benefit from performance, with the cooler air charge, or tunability, with the narrow temp ranges that the motor will see.

Or I could be totally wrong, and just wasted everyones time.

 

Oh yeah, get a meth inj. sys. on that, with the A2W, and I think its almost untouchable, in terms of consistancy.

 

lol use it like a water heater so you can take hot showers while camping.

 

The A2W came with the kit and I have a meth injection kit to go along with it. The guy I bought it from said that before he had the A2W and meth he would see 180 temps on very hot Texas days but after installing the meth and A2W his temps would stay with in 20 degrees of outside temps.

I have a scan gauge that displays AIT. I will post what kind of temps I am seeing after I get every thing installed and we can compare.

 

What part of SM have you been to?? Central Texas summers get Hott!

2500 - Nice turbo... you know, if you're in to going fast...

 

I'm only into going fast on days that end in Y

 

How many pounds of boost can this daily driven LQ4 safely take with just a fuel and spring upgrade?

 

I'm glad to see your responsible about your driving habits!!
