In Reply To Water to Air Intercoolers? posted by SurfinZ on July 22, 2004 at 08:07 PM
     
Message I can think of several advantages:
1) more consistent cooling; less dependent on moving air, meaning the intake air temp depends less on the vehicle moving to get adequate cooling
2) coolant has higher heat capacity than air
3) better for cramped engine bays

Disadvantages:
1) More complex due to extra plumbing
2) Slightly more weight due to extra parts and fluid
