Fabricating A2W intercoolers? Am I missing something here? This seems easy.
My plan is to get a A2A intercooler that has the air inlets and outlets on the same side, make a aluminum tank around it so the inlets and outlets stick out the end, then I would have a tank in the back of the car that ice and water could be stored in.
The next step is to have a electric water pump that recirculates the water from the A2W tank to and from the back of the car.
This seems way too easy, am I missing something or is this a traditonal A2W setup?

If you know the dimensions you need for your a2w ic, let me know. I can have them made for a fraction of the price other companies are making them for
But yes, it is that simple. Just cost more

The only thing I can't make is the A2A cores that have outlets on the same side. I think for my twin kit I want 2 cores in the water tank.

Right, I was saying if you wanted us to build the actual intercooler. Not the pipes, pump, lines or anything. I can make a2w intercoolers as low as $400. Of course for a bigger size, price will be more
