self air cooling intercooler?
Is there such a thing? What I am thinking of is something like like air/water intercooler but instead of water passing thru it, the turbo sucks air thru it, then feeds the charge thru the side where it normally would on an air water intercooler. Thus cooling itself~
You would then be sucking hotter air into the inducer then regular ambient air. The air coming through the back of the intercooler will be hotter because as the air passes through, it is drawing the heat away from the core. I do not see this as being very efficient. I am sure you could easily test it though with some spare pipe/clamps.
