Water/air intercooler
 
I'm looking for a water to air intercooler for a circuit racing rx7 pushimg 500whp. Any suggestions or recommendations?? This car was a tube frame purpose built race car with a n/a p-port engine and there is absolutely no space for a v-mount, stock-mount, or front-mount.

I'm not sure if a water to air intercooler might be the best thing for circuit racing, maybe for Drag racing. A few laps and the water will be hot again, unlike drag racing where, you run maybe 6-12 seconds at a time and can refill after each run. Think about this setup before you jump on board of it.

A separate water radiator is assumed.

PWR makes several barrel style W:A coolers. I, like peejay, would highly advocate for another radiator and some sort of pumping system for your w:a cooler.

EDIT: also, please post pics of your car. I've never seen a race built rx-7 with too little room in the engine bay.

We found a spot for the intercooler. Not a v-mount as the radiator is still in the upright position but it works.
