Was sitting in the waiting room the other day and read a quick snippet on the new Ford Lightning and it's a/c refrigerant cooled "intercoooler." My question is, would it be possible to reroute some refrigerant from the a/c system into/over the stock IC? The article claimed it was good for 20+ degrees of cooling.

 

I think the strain of running the compressor would outweigh the benefits of cooler air.

 

some guys i know run a water cooled ic on the supercharger....the plumbing was a pain according to them and also one of em has a bottle in his back seat and when he wants additional cooling he puts ice in the water......the lengths these honda guys go to to go fast.

 

Here's what I had seen...

Different than what I thought. I though it was running the a/c refigerant through veins in the intercooler.

 

dvls-7 do you have a hippopatamus in your trunk?

anyhow, i'd think that dumping 30 degree coolant (must not be water...) into a hot intercooler would be really bad for it, like putting icewater into a hot radiator.

 

lol.. they need to!
