Hey guys...what does everyone think about air to water intercoolers versus regular air to air? Are they more or less efficient and can they handle more or less horsepower ratings?

in my opinion, i would stay with air/air unless you are track racing or do lots of 'street racing'



water/air is more efficient for a few reasons but also costs more and is a more complicated setup.



i don't see much of a point going water/air for a mainly daily driver.



the bigger you go with each, the more power they will be good for..



a better question, is 'what are your plans with your Gcoupe?'

^^ sound advice. the air/water intercoolers are more efficient and take less space but air is much simpler since you're not worrying about plumbing in the coolant. figure out your goals first, and see if there is a need for an air/water setup. if an air/air setup will do the job then i'd do that since its cheaper and easier to install.

The amount of weight added along with the complexity of the setup. f that. unless you plan on making it a pure drag car, dont do it
