crazy...like a fox, or not

this is my 3rd try at posting so ther is no grammer
could you combine an air to water intercooler with a portion of your AC system to create a super efficient intercooler with near constnt temp control. what i envisioned was maybe the AC pump running the coolant between your old radiator and an IC just a thought

Umm..."no grammer" is right...

You mean using the AC as the cooling medium for the intake charge, as in a type of water-cooled IC? It's already been thought of (I recall some thread a while back where someone mentioned a high-hp SVT with a similar setup), but IMO, I doubt that you'd be able to fit a large enough condenser/compressor to be able to handle the heat transfer requirements inside a forced induction intake tract. For short 1/4 mile bursts, maybe; but there's a big difference between cooling the high-speed flow inside an intake tract, and the air flowing from a cabin fan on the "high" setting. Also, remember that you're having to transfer heat "twice" with an AC or water-based system, whereas with a air-to-air IC, you're only doing it once.
