Lindsey Racing Thermal Hardpipe air/water pre/intercooler
Well, I've had this part for almost two years now, and never got around to using it, and I need $$ to buy tires for my new rims. It's a miniature 6" air/water intercooler that is designed as a pre-cooler for air/air intercoolers in Porsche. It's a very neat an unusual design, since it offers almost zero air restriction, has 8 coolant feeds on either end, and is super small. It would be a great addition installed on the hot side of some high horsepower miata. All you need is a pump and reservoir. I paid $300 for this. Asking $120US. Shipping to the US will probably be in the $20 range.
Here's a link that explains how it works:

Here's a configuration where they used two of them, one before intercooler, and one after. You only have to use one of the coolant feeds/returns if you want to:
Here's the actual product

We had a PWR air/water intercooler in a Toyota Starlett (weird RHD import), and the charge pipe after it was actually cold to touch and condensing. It was ridiculous. As long as you have a bunch of air going over the heat spreader, and a big enough coolant reservoir, then you're golden.
So does anyone want to buy this yet?
This is normally what we use on air/water setups as a cooler:

What do you get if you hope in one hand and **** in the other?
A handful of ****.
Please explain how an intercooler can cool charge temp to be less than ambient air temp, or, in other words, be more than 100% efficient. No points for suggesting ice on the IC, in the awic reservoir, or using water/meth injection.

I always thought it was weird when people hook air/water intercoolers to engine coolant...
I wonder how effective this thing is compared to a normal air/water intercooler. it may be helpful as a pre-intercooler, or on a low boost setup like mine. hmmm
