Hey guys i was wondering about a water to air intercooler. not a heat exchanher but an actual FMIC. would this be something worth getting? the whole thing with the TMIC is that they get heat soaked. but if the air is passing through the same point, where air is passing past the water i.e. the coolest piont. wouldn't that be better? if u keep the system seperate from the radiator and keep a resivoir tank away from the engine or vented in some way, would this be more effiecent than an air-to-air setup. i cant really see how it wouldnt but can u guys and gals help me brain storm?

i would image that methanol would be a little colder than water, but i dont know which one is colder between that and nitrous injection. but i dont know if i want all that. first there would be a bottle i would have to fill. so if a water/air is almost the same but a little cheaper in the long run and not to mention safer. think about an accident with that stuff in ur car.
