Re: Water to air intercoolers...

The last model of the All-Trac Celica used a really nice "Rally" designed water to air intercooler. It was the same design from the Carlos Sainz(sp?) celica and worked awesome for all around use. It had a radiator for itself that mounted in front and had a seperate water pump to circulate. I had heard of guys who tried front mount air to air on the late model all-trac and immediately switched back. Using "engine ice" coolant in place of water lowered intake temps dramatically from an already extremely efficient charge temp cooling system.

I have never used one personally, but from what I could gather from some of the all-trac guys they loved them. They are very hard to find because of the limited build of the last year of all-tracs.
