Have you ever seen an old steam train boiler? They look like that. Work VERY well :wink:

The ability of the water to absorb the peak temperature spikes makes an air/water intercooler ideal for a car like this 8)


No I havent, but will have to do some research. Yeah this is probably the best option due to the room constraints, and it being mainly a road car (short stints of maximum power compared to racing). For road car use it deffinately has benefits due to the higher specific heat value (approx 4 times higher) of water. Only downsides are the extra weight and the heat soak.

Enough green ones will be able to win him over :lol:



Dean, major credit to you.
The gear change unit is awesome!
I reckon you'll need some sort of centre console to hide it 8)
And no heater for you!
That means you'll have to rig something up for windscreen demisting.
But i'm sure youve thought of everything already
Good luck
