    Water intercooler time.

    I somehow inadvertantly sold the air to air cooler off my omlette. Since i had a Benz S600 intercooler that fit easy,then thought might be worth a shot. even though the v12 uses 2 of these it made 467hp/590trq. Gonna run with ice water circulating once i figure a good pump size if anyones got some suggestions. Also tapped probes for before and after cooler temps and pressure. All the fun info Stratman likes to look at,lol. oo and it will have the return of the grill so it can look docile once again!

    Be careful with Live well pumps, most are designed to aerate the water and you can easily air lock your water side with them.

    Wasnt sure bout startin out w radiator transferin heat. Gonna start simple w/an ice water tank and a pump to circulate it. Gotta make sure pickups dont get obstructed. Heres a fancy version. Prob gonna end up converting an ice cooler. El cheepo-coolo

    Was lookin at pumps similar in size. Surely theres such thing as too much water flow. Think cheapest there was $69. Suggestions?
