You know this idea is not as silly as it may sound at first, its something Ive thought of before myself. Of course the set up is not as easy as just plumbing it like a turbo but my theory is this. Bear in mind that this application would only be for short stints and special situations like drags on a hot day or 5- 10 laps of a track at the max.
you would need a water to air intercooler that has a compartment to place ice inside that can melt and drain to the water for the intercooler. The intial water you put in should be from a chilled source, e.g thermos of cold water from fridge or freezer.
the intercooler will need the shortest possible plumbing to the manifold and a large funnel ram type intake to take advantage of speed forced induction from the front of the car. The intercooler does not necessarily need to be in the front of the car with the air going straight on it, you could set up a second duct to the front of the intercoller from the front of the car , this way you can mount it much closer to the intake manifold.
Probhably a modified truck intercooler core would work best with the larger cores allowing easier flow with possibly less friction? obviously it wouldnt want to be very big in size but thats where the water to air system would be better anyway.
feel free to tear my unproven/tested theory apart
