Water-air Intercooling

[zakalwe]

How much work is installing water-air intercooling in a stock R33 s1.5?

I have to cut the front bar to get a fmic in, so maybe water with the heat exchanger where the stock smic goes will be asier, no cutting.

The autospeed article http://autospeed.com/A_107760/cms/article.html (might be subscriber only) makes it sound easy (don't they always), and some of the bits are on ebay or at http://www.frozenboost.com.

Being that the air you are tryong to cool is already at the front of the car, a water-air intercooler is an unnecessary complication. Did you know that an easy (and cheap) upgrade is an r34 gt-t sidemount intercooler. It fits in the standard r33 spot, and is good for +200rwkw

I think most people decide that the extra weight and complexity of a WAIC is not worth it given that there are plenty of cheap air/air IC kits available .

I've seen nice things done with a pipe kit and a stock GTR IC , throw in a GReady type inlet manifold and it solves a few more probs .
