Default Re: Air to water, or Air to Air?

You'll need more than an oil cooler, a small radiator is really better. Oil coolers are meant for thicker liquids; they don't have the same thermal efficiency with water because the passages are bigger and the water goes right through without giving up its heat.

The air/water intercooler itself is fairly $$, I've never figured out why though.
