Laminova coolers
This might be an attractive option for the boosted folks, an oil cooler that uses your regular coolant, so you do not need to add another small radiator to the front of your car, quite appropriate with our relatively small grilles..

Interesting find. I'll pass this on to Twins Turbo race team for their input.

Those oil coolers are not the best idea for trying to keep temps low. Your oil cooler becomes a water heater.
The water to air intercoolers can be very efficient, and would be effective for centrifugal superchanger and turbo applications. They just add quite a bit more complexity and more weight as you need an intercooler, heat exchanger, pump, relays, possibly fans, and a reservoir tank for the fluid. |
