alot of what I had seen on youtube required sintered copper and high heat to make the wick portion of it.Thought about it, had a quick browse through the net = not DIY to do properly, found out there are lots to choose from on aliexpres very cheap, forgot about it!

Exactly.
Sintering is not DIY friendly, i was messing with it back when sintered Ni-Cd batteries came out and they were expensive, did not go well...

So that leaves me with either my air to air inter-cooler or back to back heat sinks.
The inter-cooler I already own. LOL the 120mm computer fans give a sence
of scale

Maybe I should add a Spearco sticker . That gives 50 extra horsepower to the spindle .

I was rolling on the floor with that one.Win.
Seriously, you need some blue LED's behind it and a CO2 bottle & solenoid to spray the FMIC right before you sidestep the clutch...

Forgot to say this when i replied, i do like the intercooler idea a lot, it is simple and functional and it requires 3 fans to work, one of them has to be radial to move the air between the rads, needs to move little air so even small ones will do as the pipes are huge.
The size issue is a bit messier, those rads need to be opened on both sides so that takes a lot of space.
If size was not a limiting factor, i would use rads for sure, cheap, available everywhere, and the most important part: the machine looks like steampunk!

have the surface area the inter-cooler would.
As I said I tend to overthink things.

I will admit yes the inter-cooler route is messier. In most cases the inter-cooler uses thinner materials so heat transfer should be more efficient and has way more surface area for it's size. On the flip side back to back heat sinks are simple and take up less space but wontForgot to say this when i replied, i do like the intercooler idea a lot, it is simple and functional and it requires 3 fans to work, one of them has to be radial to move the air between the rads, needs to move little air so even small ones will do as the pipes are huge.
