I still want a front mount Air to Air I/C... Even if it is a one off.

I won't be satisfied with this kit until the w2a is done correctly and the car running 18-22psi worth of boost...

just want to thank Wolfman publicly for lending his car out for the good of the Mini community. Without it, we definitely wouldn't be where we are today. We are getting there

You're welcome Jan.... I just want 16-17 psi boost... stock ecu, I-C, radiator...and my meth and A-C working again..... that should make it the little monster I want.
300 WHP...... plenty for me....

I like the sound of that. In the meantime I am getting scrounging my $ together in anticipation.

the water to air kits will be done first due to logistics

Water to air = goodness!!

And water/air means probably no meth for me, just one thing out of the equation. So many friggin' decisions.....

Would someone mind explaining w2a to me? I'd like to better understand this.

Extreme Performance Solutions
Whether you are faced with the challenges of space limitations, a lack of access to cooling air flow or you are looking for extreme intercooler efficiencies, the Liquid/Air intercooler system can offer an attractive alternative to Air/Air intercooler systems. The Liquid/Air system works by transferring the charge air heat (from turbocharger or supercharger) to a liquid coolant, this coolant is then pumped to a remotely located heat exchanger where ambient cooling air removes the heat. The obvious advantage with this system is that you can optimally position your heat exchanger in the cooling air stream, regardless of the location of the engine or associated space limitations.

Don't you get a lot more consistency from the water to air Jan? In other words the cooling effect is more constant at whatever speed and how long the car has been running?

air to air done right is always more efficient. Problem in our car is space. Most won't give up their a/c so compromises are the norm. I'm confident we can get it right with the parts that are designed. It should keep it a steady temp

Thanks for the 411, I appreciate it.

W2A also has a little weight disadvantage... 8 pounds per gallon plus the hardware... It is amazing on track when constantly moving, but if you sit idle you can heat the water, then its a bitch to cool back down.

A FM A2A will add boost drop, and take a lot of front end space, but its lighter, doesnt need the complicated plumbing and hardware, and will still make more power over a top mount.

Just my $.02
