st205 Chargecooler Modifications, Is it possible to improve the existing design? Options

[Insanity-74]

I origionally posted this on the GT4 Owners club and it went in an interesting direction with ideas, I was just wondering where it would go on here.......

My mind is working overtime again, been thinking about making the charge cooler more effective...I dont like the idea of a FMIC so I was thinking what could I do to make the existing chargecooler system better, and maybe combining all together.......

thought #1
Adding a swirl pot sytem to the charge cooler, this has got to help by removing all the air from the system, you all know how a swirl pot works so I`ll say no more about it, but its a reasonably cheap method of improving the chargecooler set up

thought #2
making the radiator bigger - there is a company near me who recons they cam make a thicker and taller radiator for the charge cooler, this would increase the capacity of the system by about 0.5l and cool the liquid quicker.

thought #3
Adding some spal fans - and connecting them to the charge cooler pump...when the pump comes on, so do the fans

thought #4
Increasing liquid capacity - adding a big tank to the inner wing that will increase the capacity of the charge cooler system by about 5-7L...it would mean a longer run of pipe work and I`d need a fully sealed tank so that it didnt leak liquid......would the pump be able to cope with the potential extra strain of pumping more water???????

thought #5
adding a low voltage chiller unit from a fridge to the system....not entirely convinced by this one but it could chill the charge cooler liquid when the pump isnt running so that when you do floor it from the lights you get a cold burst of water into the system.

I think that some of these ideas are better than others, particularly like the bigger radiator ideas and increasing the capacity of the liquid in the charge cooler system.....I think these combined might be able to bring it into line with the FMIC systems, but without the associated lag etc.

What is everyones thoughts????????

I bought a couple WRX STi intercooler sprayer nozzles to spray on my HX - but they weren't cheap.
