Our shop mainly works on Jags... so I have spent many hours staring/working on these systems. One BIG question. How come not just remove the intercooler coolant system and seperate it from the engine coolant? I have a VW Cabby and building a refrigerated coolant system for the intercooler... At a water temp of 40 degrees F, we should see a HUGE drop. And while this is a complex setup, one could easily use something akin to a fuel chiller instead. Jag has these on lots of the older (pre 95) cars, they plumb into the ac refrgerant for cooling.
Would this still have the potential to be an issue freezing up the rotors? Obviously placment of water jets would be EXTRA critical... And do I need to be worried about freezing issues running an ic system with such a low coolant temp? (turbo, jet mounted after ic.)
