AW IC with a thin other-model radiator in front of main radiator?
AW IC with a thin other-model radiator in front of main radiator?
I've given up on AA intercoolers. Seems like the only choices are sacrifice the condenser or have a long one hanging under the bumper.
So I got to thinking about AW. Of course you still need to radiate the heat somewhere with those as well. It's almost the same problem I think.
So I was looking at the tiny space between the fan and the radiator on a 603. No way for an AA intercooler to fit there of course, but it looks like I can squeeze in a skinny honda radiator there. Then it can be hooked up to an AW IC.
Thoughts?
This is a w124.

I can be wrong, don't take everything I say as verbatim, please fact-check first.
My posts are my personal opinions and thoughts, unless otherwise noted.
Slap a second A/C condenser in front of the existing one, should be thin enough, and you could piggy-back the mounting.
