ridethecliche , Today 12:11 AM Depending on where you are, I'd recommend reaching out and seeing if folks on here are local to you. Offer to lend a hand, hang out, show up with beer and pick their brain. It's a pretty great way to get your mind off things. Hope things look up for your family. |

Ohhh haaaa I see, went over my head.. NASCAR is so implemented here that any talk about it is just the norm, makes for incredible natural disaster style traffic twice a year, wooooo!

Found this ebay water to air contraption... Anyone used one of these? https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...5c9fdfd191.jpg

I have seen exactly one water to air cooler that worked well.
It was about 100X more complicated and worked no better than a simple air/air cooler. |
There is absolutely not reason to use a water to air IC in a miata. It will be more complicated and not work any better then a normal air to air IC. They are good, when you don't have room to run a regular IC. The miata nose has plenty of room for the IC up front, so that is not an issue.
|
That's what I was figuring.. Ha, I'm trying to run a small "shorty" setup, I was offered a Vibrant stage 2 for an incredible price, but it's a little more than what I need.
|
What in the world do you mean by "more than what I need"
|
For my power goal, idk... I just didn't think I would need a big ass one... But, it's still on my mind for the price given.
|
He told me that with it's size, it did cause some heating issues.
|
The only reason to even consider an air-water is if you're supercharged and throttled volume is critical (even then I don't think it's worth it). Or if you are building an autocross car, and want to keep an ice bucket in your car to super cool the air charge for short periods of time.

are we talking about the big boy vibrant? not the 350hp core?

You might not need that size, but it definitely won't hurt a thing to have more intercooler than you need. Just buy it if you are going to do this. |
re we talking about the big boy vibrant? not the 350hp |
in my mind, the only limitation is size. I don't wanna hack up the front end to fit a giant cooler. other than that, you can run as big as you want with no observable ill effects.
otherwise, like was already said: no such thing as too much cooler don't try to think outside the box on this. this isn't one of those areas where you have to be creative. the legwork is done, reap it's rewards and stop wasting time looking at stupid water/air coolers. that's just dumb |
Also said he had to notch something, maybe the subframe? A little, but other than that it went together well.
