Default Question on a water to air intercooler setup.

Recently I've been juggling the idea of a water to air intercooler. Vortech wants way to much money I think, so I planned on making my own. Just asking but is it possible to run the already existing engine coolant system threw my intercooler?

No, the engine coolant is way too hot, you would be heating the air not cooling it. Air to water intercoolers need their own fluid, pump, lines, reservoir, and radiator (heat exchanger).
