Interesting idea...though I would not recommend using the copper/brass version of the Probe core, they tend to fail in this application...I say that from experience.

You can buy the aluminum one from ZZP. Yes the fins are more dense, but that provides better cooling. I never noticed any difference in flow between the units.

I want to mention this to a friend, but I know I'd never hear the end of how horrible and idea this is because the radiator blocks airflow. Please inform me of the potential of how well this works so that I not only mention the idea but also some facts about it. I want the conversation to be like this:
"I saw online how someone made a wood intercooler with a radiator to cool off the airflow."
"That'* impossible! No one in his/her right mind would ever do this because - "
Insert smashing of facts into his face.
This intercooler is a great idea, and I've for the longest time been wanting to see one and look into one for the S1 engine. Indeed, you do have the largest wood in the 3800 community.

The sandwich intercooler has been used for a long timenow on the L67 SII engines. The bigger the i/c, the more cooling it provides.

Anyway, I am double intercooled. The inlet air temps will be well below ambient, probably near dew-point for any given day. The one under the */c is onlt to remove the added heat from the */c, not to try to take away any heat from the inlet air, too.
