I got my idea after watching this video from Adam Savage's Tested . I was thinking I could do a system like this. Rather than cool water I would just use a heat exchanger to cool the air. Granted this would need to be a little bit bigger in scale.

That is quite a bit. I don't think I could fit that under the hood...lol. My main goal is to extract some of the heat. I know I will not be able to get it all out. I would take 50% efficiency

My first thoughts were to base it on max RPM. That however is not where the max boost is for the supercharger. The max boost I have is between 2000 and 4000 RPM with a volume of air I need to cool of 240 to 480CFM. My initial thought of the increase of temperature gain was wrong. After reading...

I did not think of the vibration aspect. I know how an a/c unit works but I don't know all the math behind it. This could be a pipe dream. The other issue I have is space. I would need to machine or cast a new intake to allow for the exchanger. The space I have at the max is 20inx5inx5in. Don't...

Thank you for the BTUH conversion. In this case I am thinking something like a mini a/c unit with refrigerant rather than an air to air system.

I have supercharged my Toyota 4runner. The downside is the type of supercharger that I have bolted on (almost the only you can bolt on) replaces the intake plenum and has no way of cooling the air prior entering the combustion chamber. I read a little bit about how much heat is produced in the...
