Im just playing around with a few different intakes atm then will get the cooler and make up another intake and box to suit. I cant wait to get this first service out of the way with Mazda then it all go with the mods!! Im hangin!!!!

[Haltech]

Below are more options for a heat exchanger... these are 3 row, 1 inch tubes with very low pressure drop.

Should be no problems fitting either in the MS3.

[Death-From-A-Mile]

Ok now that is the sex!

[boostjunky]

Did you sell it? please let me know.
Thanks,
John

THE KIT IS UP FOR SALE.....MOTOR POPPED!

[ncspeed21]

B-e-a utiful!!

[reddeerspeed3]

nice work man. i would love to be able to buy a liquid/air IC kit since i dont think i'm quite mechanically inclined enough to build my own.

[Death-From-A-Mile]

UPDATE: Still waiting on dyno numbers for you guys. My car is in the shop right now getting a new clutch installed. I was supposed to dyno it on the 1st but never made it there.

[MS3 Ventura]

IDRVSLO - Were you able to run the Cobb AP with your W-A IC? Did you notice any difference with A/F ratios, or knock, etc.?

Also, minus the W-A IC (I have a 3.25" ETS TMIC), we have similar bolt-ons except for the N2MB WOT Box w/ 2 step. Do you recomend the N2MB WOT Box w/ 2 step?

Thanks

[Death-From-A-Mile]

I am running it with the AP just fine. Hits target boost levels easily. Never saw a change in knock or AFRs. I 100% recommend the WOT box. It is a great piece of equipment.

[MS3 Ventura]

Sounds good. Looking forward to you getting dynoed and ordering your W-A IC.

[phillyb]

i'm really curious about this as well.
i'm not exactly sure i'm understanding this correctly.

you have an intercooler that also uses water. you have a tank of water that feeds to the intercooler. and voila...powah???

[reddeerspeed3]

you circulate water around the IC instead of air. the water goes to the heat exchanger to stay cool. no more heatsoak, less lag than FMIC. more boost too if your IC core has a lower pressure drop than stock.

iwantiwantiwant! lol
ps idrvslo: any ideas if your going to sell a kit yet? if your not would you mind if i try and copycat your setup?

[bnoon]

Ouch man, put that thing up on Ebay to at least get some advertising for it.

[racebitz]

WTF, whay happened?? did you even get to dyno it?? That has to suck balls bad. Just think ho hard it goin to go once its built up and ready to run some good boost! good luck mate.

[cld12pk2go]

What were you doing when it let go?

Seems that there is no rhyme or reason to when these motors go...

[cageyvet]

that is a clean looking fmic setup

[Biggu]

impressive fab work.

[treyclash]

cleeeeeannnn!

[Speed3eak]

IDRVSLO, any plans for making a WTA FMIC kit still? It seems like there's a lot of interest in it...

Is there at least a how-to guide somewhere? This is really interesting, did you record your BATs at all while you had it? Thanks.

edit: Looking up stuff on ebay - this looks like it would be a great option for the gen 2 where there isn't really enough room for a big core on a FMIC. Only thing is price - the core itself is $300, and you still need a radiator, piping, hoses, etc. Still really interested though, if I end up with another gen 2 I will definitely be looking into this.

[boostjunky]

Did you decide to sell your intercooler. Thanks,
John 720-429-6547 or JOHNLEDELL@GMAIL.com

[09speedaddict]

looks sick man. too bad for the boom! still available for sale?

[Death-From-A-Mile]

Sorry guys I have been off of the forums for over a year, sold the MS3 after my deployment to Afghanistan. If I had a Gen1 or 2 in PA that is local to Pittsburgh I can create a kit for you. I would need the car for around a week....and the funds to build it of course. Thanks for the compliments guys.

[Phoenix Speed3]

very impressive. Do you have picture of the battery relocation? Would that be part of the kit?

[dukebrown]

I bought his kit. The battery relocation is the same box from Jegs.

[Hypnotized]

what are the chances of having this kit duplicated??

[ms606]

very nice

[zumin]

anyone know what size core was used?

[Death-From-A-Mile]

I will see if I can grab specs for you guys!

[OsOlOcO]

Hi IDRVSLO, what are you thoughts attempting to fabricate this concept to a 2006 Speed6? Wish you had a how-to for this..

[J-Liss]

Very nice, be sure to stop by my water to air thread, should be done this weekend my set up is way different I would love to compare and share info with you.

Ah u sold car

[ESB Jiu JItsu]

Does anyone have a parts list for this setup! its amazing!
Thanks!

[speedseis88]

definately interested in this w2a setup! out of curiosity did this cause the motor to blow or was it another issue? please pm me details on this setup if you dont mind as to costs and stuff

[Death-From-A-Mile]

Guys, I am back from the dead. This kit was sold in 08 to another member. I will be doing one for the MS6 down the road...probably summer time. This did not cause the engine to pop. I was Etuning with COBB years ago before they really knew what was up with the ECUs. Car was full bolted, fuel pump...etc. Lacked meth and was running the K04. So...a recipe for disaster as we know now. If I had a local MS3 I could replicate the kit with a few changes. I might produce a kit for the MS6, larger pump, water/ice tank...etc.

any updates to this thread? have you made a MS6 kit yet, as well as any more MS3 kits? would be very interested to run a kit such as this vice a TMIC

[Matthew Myers]

I have CP-E FMIC installed on mine that I would gladly trade for this! This looks fantastic! Send me the cfm rating and the piping size please! What all did you have to alterate to fit this?

[Death-From-A-Mile]

I have not, I might get something setup over the summer. No immediate plans unless a local 3 is willing to do it.

[DickFitzwell]

gotcha. well good luck with it; if you were local to SoCal i'd off mine up during my deployment next month. looking fwd to seeing a kit available (eventually) for the 3's.

[soaptray]

Very cool. Nice work.
