I also thought of going A/C delete along with the Mishimoto racing radiator (removing the A/C heat exchanger section) and using the new found space for the barrel style I/C heat exchanger.
I know you are definitely committed to going Air to Air - It is an extremely reasonable endeavor and the whole purpose of this thread.
I believe you are really on to something here...and you stand to become the 'Hero of Heat' when you get your design configured, installed, and cooling.
Just laying some ground work here for you - And perhaps some others who may be considering upgrading the Stillen ... Doesn't make sense to waste time doing something that someone else has already thought of or even proven doesn't work or isn't practical.
A number of us have already wrestled with trying to find the solution to make the Stillen work with the w2a.
So far there have been a few other novel ideas posted that have been given a great deal of thought and do have some merit.
Hopefully discussing the pro's and con's of each approach will benefit all.
Attached are some pics of the barrel heat exchanger (preliminary dimensions), and the location for the I/C.
I was able to find some more room for the I/C by removing some material from the radiator brace...so the I/C could have possibly have been even larger.
Plazmamans response was
not to recommend the idea of 2 smaller I/C's but to go with 1 larger one instead, even though they have seen both ways installed.
Either way - the w2a solution was getting more complicated as time went on.
