I dont know if you guys remember but...

CAPA did some testing with the w2a cooler in the early days of the T from thier supercharger applicatins I think. went in place of the battery or sumn. looked the goods and cooled temps to near on ambient I think.

prolly talkin outta my ass though will have another read tomorrow at work.

it's similar BFHOON in shape but not location

no meggs that's the pic I just posted.

the a2w cooler goes where the battery was. look at the pipes and imagine the cooler there.

that looks like the Spearco W2A cooler........... they work well too !

Did you ask him questions about the setup? never heard of them myself, how credible is this bloke>?

All the top drag radial cars run them in the states, I have pics of VT engines new drag car that's running 25oorwhp through 2 water to air cooler. 1 for each turbo.

Mate my bad, made myself look like a fool, I have never ever heard of these, though just because I have not does not mean they exist. I promise to flog myself with a limp lettuce leaf for punishment.

it is alot more effective FOR DRAG racing, they take up alot of space so its a little tricky for an everyday car, check out PWR

I had a water to air intercooler on my first s/c setup for my xr8, aside from the fill tube it couldn't be seen. It did however require a small hole to be cut through the skirt (under stock airbox in an xr8), the blower sat over this area and covered the pipework and hole. Once the stock airbox is replaced the hole cant be seen. Being the standard capa kit it wasn't anything fancy but across 5 back to back dyno runs the car lost 4-5rwkws on a 27' day. I never got to run the seccond setup I peiced together with the help of ARE in qld, got made an offer I couldnt refuse. Apparently it has made 85orwhp in a coupe of some sort.

Visit www.are.com.au for lots of fantastic info, these guys seem to know their sh*t.

It's a capa unit (Well actually a vortech item).

All good mate, as mentioned they can be harder and more expensive to setup as opposed to a big air to air setup but when every last ounce of hp counts water to air units are worth their weight in gold. 99% of the prefab end tanks that hold the water have massive openings to allow chunks of ice to be dropped in to further cool the water, some setups run on dry ice which push temps into the - figures.
