    Default Water 2 Air Intercooler

    Hey everyone,

    I'm planning to convert my existing intercooler to a W2A setup (obviously due to heatsoak issues). Can anyone recommend a mechanic/fabricator in Sydney experienced with this & able to knock up a setup for me? I'm planning to use my existing core (obviously sealed off etc), but will need everything else (lines, heat exchanger, pump).



    I know RaceSolutions in Penrith is able to help me out, same with PWR (but they'd only help if I used their products) but I wondering if there's anyone else out there. Anyone?

    Jay

    While you're at it, get rid of that pod filter and get a shielded cold air intake.

    I'll see what can be done, but things are very tight in that area.

    The hotter the intake air, the quicker the IC gets soaked.
