I can't remember why now, but whilst you argument seems logical, it doesn't work out that way, a water rad is smaller than the equivalent air one. It's also much easier to get a nice plumbing route for the air.

Haven't completely ruled out water intercooling, but the issue was cost. Also whether its water or air the radiator has to do the same amount of work as an intercooler and take the same amount of heat away to get the same cooling ie same size rad as intercooler, although haven't thought it through fully yet. Space around the radiator is very very tight on the Xtreme and I woun't make a final decision until I've got the nose cone off and sussed it out. Up till now my main focus has been feasibilty. I have concluded it is feasible at a reasonable cost, so am proceeding. On your did you seal the decomp plate on one side and gasket the other or use two gaskets? I prefer the former. regards Nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
