found in a magazine recently, a hilux engine transplanted into a 180sx and the radiator and intercooler in a big alloy box thats filled with.....

DRY ICE!

-50deg intake temps and extremely good cooling, whats everyones opinions on this, and would anyone give it a go so they could have a water cooled bug that didnt look watercooled.....

Hi

Great idea, the only drawback would be towing a trailer with ice making gear in it. Zooms a good read isnt?

Steve

true, couldnt remember what mag it was, all i know is ill have it soon for FREE!!! gotta love havin someone that works @ a newsgent how long would it last tho? and what would it weigh 2?

Hi

My dads used to own a newsagent, loved getting all the leftover car mags for nothing.

Those dry ice setups are really for drag cars. I guess the ice would weigh about as much as water, 1kg = 1 litre.

Steve

you still need room for a radiator, and even more room for the big alloy box. it probably wouldn't last long enough for a trip down the shops.

It's a trick for dyno shoot-outs or 1/4 mile runs. Not for the street.

cheers fellas, id never heard of this before now so was just curious now what do you all think about my idea of runnign waterpipes thru the tunnel etc, what has everyone else done, most common route taken etc...
