I was just sitting in engineering lecture zoning out today and got to thinking about this. Would there be any point? Any advantage to be gained by doing a front mount water to air intercooler? Is it even possible?
Anyone? |

I don't know if it is possible but even theoretically analysing such solution doesn't indicate any advantages, actually other way around. Comparing to top-mount W2A you would have longer piping in the engine bay, so air is exposed to high temperatures on longer route to the engine. Front-mount would be recommended if you need higher capacity IC and place to fit it.
