Thing is though, Air-to-Air intercoolers only get as cold as the outside air, and in the summer, which is the only time of the year I really use my Fiero alot, the air is kinda hot. So let's see, A/C coils produce what, 35 to 40 deg. F??? Less? Outside air is 90 in the summer, 80-100 by me in summer, so that's a bit of a temp difference. And if it makes the air that much denser, who knows, maybe it'll work.

I'll see if my cuz will let me use his civic as a test project when he turbocharges it at the end of summer (he's having too much fun with his Venom NOS right now). I'll try an air-to-air IC, and then link the A/C to my idea. He says he wants to take out his A/C anyway. After Nosin' the thing, he'll never be able to sell it, so it's kinda his learning, killing, destroying, tool.

How about liquid nitrogen? Works for the NYC phone lines underground. Plus Air Products Inc. is near my house, so NOS, Nitrogen, and other fine gaseous and liquid elements are 15 minutes away. (I'm kidding about the Nitrogen. It's illegal on cars, I think)

I do have one other idea. It will involve a 150Amp (or greater) alternator. Those ceramic peltier modules that run off 12V and draw about 3 Amps, get too cold to touch when you put a heat sink on the hot side. Get a radiator fan on those heat sinks, and I'll have something colder than A/C, without all the freon. Just more wires.

I'll make a drawing of that.
