i didnt know an air/water intercooler setup could be so cheap?!, think this will be fine? Options

[x_itchy_b_x]

The Intercooler $150 shipped
Intercooler link

* Supports over 600hp
* Core - 4.5" x 10.125" x 4.5 "
*3" inlet / 3" outlet

How can you screw somthing like this up, its a box with holes. so i dont mind it being ebay.

The Pump $92 shipped
ebay link

M-8501-L54**
* Production 2003 F-150 Lightning intercooler coolant circulation pump
* Inlet and outlet hose connection diameter is 19mm/3/4"
* Can be used in many coolant pumping applications

If its a part made for a huge v8 i bet it will work fine for my little 4 banger.

The Heat exchanger $???-175
I personally was thinking of cheap alternatives to buying one using:
* stock air/air 3sgte interheater.
* stock AC heat exchanger mounted infront of the Radiator.
(my ac isnt hooked up and never will be so i dont mind)
* Filling up my current front mount. < which i think will workout.

The extras Roughly under $100
Proper clamps an silicone couplers,
shouldnt be too much since there are few places needing a coupler.


Total $342, now what, like 20 bucks in hardware store fittings and hoses?
and maybe a couple bucks more for wires and switches for the pump?
I can have a pretty nice setup not buying a heat exhanger, which are only $100-$200 for under $350 bucks.(more)
Thats cheaper than a Good air/air setup and will probly out perform it in Flow, Temps, and Lag/Piping.

got any input?

I'll be interested to see how this turns out. I've wanted to do a water/air setup like this for some time and this is the first time I've seen the parts even close to affordable.

Personally, unless you can find out what brand the core is, I doubt that it's efficient enough for 800hp though.
