Water to air runs a separate radiator so your engine coolant temp won't come into it. If you want to do a cheap trial on it you weld a box around your factory cooler with water outlets, pinch the pumps, radiator etc from some fool in a WRX going FMIC and give it a try. It has the advantage over FMIC of stealth, very short pipework, more efficient at low speeds and less affected by heat soak than factory GZE setup.

**WOW** a WRX with water to air cooler?? Never seen one..
I think he means the RS turbo liberty from 90-92.
Anybody who has one of the pumps/cooler setups off a RS turbo wants money for them. The pump alone is $700 from subaru.
Better off buying a Davies/Craig booster pump ($180) and modding a series 5 RX 7 core to do the cooling. You will still need to rum a fairly large air conditioning condensor up front to keep the charge cool.
The whole setup will cost you more than a front mount (R32/33 GTR cooler = $750-850), if you are incapable of performing any of the fabrication work yourself.
