Intercooler picture thread?
(09-04-2013, 11:05 PM)Captain America(09-03-2013, 11:26 AM)1911diesel i think the idea of the extra cooler system is to keep temps cooler. altho a w/a intercooler will not bring charge air temps lower then "out side" temps unless its hooked up to the ac system or an ice tank. but generally speaking, it wont cool as well as a a/a intercooler. and when you go hooking it to something thats already hot, like engine or tranny cooling fluids, you are just reducing the efficiency. im sure it would work, just not as well as it could.
You dont "hook into" them. If using coolant you use 1mm bleed holes just to keep the levels between the engine cooling system and the A/W cooling system equal. You keep 1 fill point that way instead of having 2... but they are still separate.
Here is mine
Had to make new turnbuckles, Rudolf's were garbage

When you say "more efficient", are you speaking in terms of thermal capacity, the rate at which the system sheds heat to the air or restriction?
I would say capacity is much more and rate of change is much less with water
