anyone ever tried this?

my question reminds me of stupid "what if i put a cutout on my STS", but has anyone ever mounted there water to air IC in the front of the car and made a design that u can take the panels off to allow air thru it and when ur at the track, putting the panels back on and using ice/water/coolant, to cool the charge, best of both worlds....... if no one designed it im going to try it with a cheap ebay one... i have the design already in mind

making removable panels that would be water tight would be difficult. would not want any water getting on the tires.

as long as teh water isnt to pressurized it wouldn't be impossible, plus if its a water to air u could have a bag like device that would seal it and keep it colder

hummmmm is dry ice permited at tracks????

i know F1 cars used to cram the rads full of dry ice to stop them over heating on the start grid! might be worth a try and would be colder than iced water! if it was allowd that is! lol

good idea though.

The problem with dry ice is you would need to cut it perfectly to conform to the cooling grids in the I/C or no convection would take place. And obvioulsy you cant add water to dry ice..
