Thinking of building a water to air intercooler for my 2012 apex supercharged only running 8.6 psi 24-24 pulley. on pump gas.
Stock engine. I have a black apex . If I build this I would like to swap with somebody for a stock hood.I Installed a custom scoop on my hood.and it is functional it looks like yamaha did it.but I had to modify the hood to fit the scoop.has all the foam installed to seal to the intercooler to make it functional.

I've looked into the same thing for my boosted sleds, but having a water pump on the sled will tax the electrical system that much more, especially finding one that can move enough water to do the job. Be careful what pump you try to use, and the additional electrical load you put on it. I've looked into the Laminova style coolers and a small hose mounted pump, but couldn't find one I'd trust that doesn't have a higher current load. If you have too many other gadgets on it (WB, heated shield, etc,etc,) you could be pushing the limits of the system.

My brother and I built water to air intercoolers for our Apex's. I run around 16 to 17 psi and he's running around 15 psi.
We bought our stuff through frozen boost. The current draw was a concern and found this pump http://www.frozenboost.com/product_...=1001&osCsid=1367731a7f19e32d5b94e0091219c810
I find that because I run a small battery that after cold starting the sled would run like crap on the bottom end. I set it up last winter with two PC310 batteries and those problems went away.
After two season of use I think it's one of the better thing's I've done to the sled as far as running wise.
