There is probably a good reason why this would not work but, I'll ask any way. Could the A/C be plumbed to a custom TMIC so that one could change the coolent direction from cabin to intercooler and back again? I'm thinking dedicated tubes in the intercooler that allow the A/C to soak up heat and then return to the compressor. Would the TMIC hold too much heat for the compressor and coolent to deal with?

 

Thanks for the information. What I was thinking was running the liquid coolent through the intercooler directly without chilling air and blowing the air to the intercooler. The direct contact of the coolent within the intercooler would soak up the heat. I'm thinking that with the (beginings) of a movement to ban NOS and CO2 in street cars of other ways to lower the intake temp. I do think that this might boil the coolant as suggested above as the coolant was not designed to deal with direct contact with a heated metal grid (also known as the intercooler). The fan idea has been around, but my understanding is that one must move a lot of air (CFM) and that because you are pushing air into an enclosed engine bay, there really is no excape for the heat soaked air. To get enough CFM, I would try getting a small portable compressor and storage tank (they make underhood units for off-roading so that you can air up and down tires and use air tools for short periods of time to do trail side fixes). One could charge the tank and then let loose with a burst of 60 to 90 CFM air that would push the heat soaked air out away from the intercooler. One could try this on a dyno (easy for me to say, there isn't one within 200 miles of here) Do a pull and then blast the intercooler with compressed air for 20 seconds or so and do another pull.
