intercoolers
What is the difference in not running an intercooler and running one i know that everyone i have ever seen with a turbo runs and intercooler but what is the difference if you dont

Re: intercoolers
turbos generate lots of heat, intercooler cools the charge of air going to the engine, cooler air is less prone to detonation which breaks engines

Re: intercoolers
compressed air is hotter than un-compressed air. that is why you also see sc setups with ic's.

Alky will also cool your air charge.

Re: intercoolers
hmm, i have a dsm smic and well, i cut it apart to make it a fmic and its full of trash. Oil and metal shards, the motor had blown up and the turbo was busted into peices, alot of the shards got into the intercooler. I tried cleaning it out, but im worried something will get inside my motor.
would it be ok to temporarly run w/o an intercooler for a few weeks, @ 4 psi? Sean |
Re: intercoolers
Colder Air = More Condesnesed Air Molecules
This in turn mean's more HP. Why? Since the molecules are smaller there are more in a given volume then a non-intercooled set-up. More air = more power. JP |
