does anyone know if you can hook up your cold air or short ram intake to your radiator to make it shoot cooled air to your engine?

ya know what buddy, forget your radiator. Custom build something to route the freezing cold air from your air conditioner into your intake. :loser:

Just put Ice cubes in your intake pipe.

You know, If you only run like 5 PSI you won't need an intercooler.

well, you could run low until you can afford a good intercooler. 5 PSI is better than nothing.

a radiator cools down liquid coolant by transmitting the heat from the fluid to air that is flowing past tubes containg the hot fluid.
in other words hot fluid goes into a radiator from the engine... cold air is blown from outside the vehicle past the tubes containing said fluid ... hence hot fluid and cold air comes in, cold fluid and hot air comes out... not that the air was ever really contained or "in" anything...
