Not sure how trying to run a mid mount intercooler is a joke.. Some of the responses are deff jokes but from looking around I've seen a half rad half intercooler which means you can run a smaller then full size rad which means a mid mount should work but legitimately forgot about it this was a waste of time for everyone

Dude you're grammar is so hard to comprehend what you are trying to say. Why would you change something that has been tried and trued? These are Miata's that run hot and need a full sized radiator. Unless you plan on drag racing the car and only running it for very short periods of time it will over heat. Sure *** boi Honda's do it, but we don't drive Honda's. They do radiator tucks, maybe you should do that too?

Hahaha I'm just here asking a question and suddenly everyone with Internet access becomes a custom fabricator and knows a miatas cooling system like the back of their hand.... I was looking for insight in the wrong place

"Hay guyz i wanna run my intercooler behind the radiator"
"No that will heat up the air too much making the intercooler useless"
"Hay guyz i wanna run an intercooler and a radiator side by side"
"No the radiator will be insufficient for and cause overheating problems"
"Yall are haters because you think my ideas are stupid"

It HAS been done to a miata.. the car ran a 4" intercooler and would overheat in traffic, the inter cooler was bringing the temps down however far above the ambient temps. In other words it was a horrible setup.
So far the only setups that work good on miatas are V mount or intercooler in front of the rad. Then, if you have overheating issues you run a fatter radiator.

Hahaha jeeze! I never said I wanted to run a side by side setup. I did say I've seen one done on a miata before! I understand running a intercooler behind a rad will cause hot IATs, but like I said I'll be running meth won't this make a difference!?!?! But noones actually helping me just making fun, but it's okay I get it guysss.

Hah thank you! But the intercooler in this case is then completely useless? Thought it would help some, but I was told by a friend with a sr20 s14 to try and figure out how to run a mid mount like him or no intercooler. No intercooler sounded unsafe to me tho.

Holy ******* jesus batman.
NO, running meth will not help your iat's if the intercooler is behind the radiator. The air coming out of the radiator will be roughly @ 190F. So your IAT's will never be below 190F. Repeat, your iat's will never be below about 190F.
What part of that's too hot that's a bad idea do you not understand ?
Half radiators have been done before on Miatas. The one I know of was a dedicated race vehicle, was not boosted, had a coolant reroute, and had owners who knew what the F#@K they were doing. None of those factors applies to you, so don't do it. Unless you plan to keep us entertained with drunk posts about how you had to call your girlfriend at 1am to come pick you up cuz your car broke down again. Actually, plan to do that anyway.
If you're going to do an air/air intercooler, put it up front somewhere where it sees fresh air. If you're going to do an air/water intercooler, you can put the intercooler itself wherever you want, but put the radiator for that water in front. If you ziptie it to the back of the real radiator like I know you want to, then once again, your IAT's will never be below about 190F, and as I hope you understand by now, that is too hot.
Edit: Hey, you wouldn't by chance happen to be planning to be an ER doc, would you? That would make you the second person recently on this board with the somewhat awesome powers of self deception to believe that despite their complete inability to compose a posting on an internet forum that was coherent, logical, and used the King's English, they would somehow magically be accepted into some Medical School over other candidates who have spent years in intense academic combat striving for every last advantage they could get ...

You know what? i support your experiment, do it and come back and tell us your results.
Laughing at you for being an imbecile is one thing, however laughing at your melted pistons pictures would be a lot funnier.
The half rad/ic was on the m.net forum, it looked cool as everything was neatly placed but was garbage as far as function went.
