induction intercooling

[RyanEllis]

just had a thought could you use an intercooler to cool the air recieved by a filter like a turbo setup e.g air filter connected to intercooler then connected to throttle body? would this be effective or would the flow rate of air be so little from just a filter?

whut

Useless.

Compressed air by turbos gets hot hence why people run intercoolers.

Running an intercooler with just an air filter is pointless..because it's fresh air anyway.

suppose, you would need it to have nos spray for any cooling to work

or water spray

The action of a turbo compressing the air can raise the air's temp to 180+ c, dunno if it would do much with a n/a setup?!

Air outside gets sucked in and "cooled" by the outside air.

Makes sense to me....xD

Yeah but with an n/a setup, it's the same air... XD.

Yus ; garbage

You're all forgetting that just by fitting the intercooler will increase the power by at least 50bhp. Just like adding a turbo sticker.

if you read about intercoolers they are basically heat "exchangers" allowing the difference in heat energy between two fluids to equalise via heat transfer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger

newtons law of cooling states "the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling#Newton.27s_law_of_cooling

since the filtered air flowing through the intercooler is exactly the same temperature as the external air flowing past the intercooler fins, there's zero temperature difference hence zero heat transfer and does nothing other than add weight and restrict the airflow more

You really need to get out more.

we love you really paul... come live with me, we can be micra buddies

this picture angers me lol

car cooler, water biz pretty cheap innit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

Nitrous! Lovely cold Nitrous! ;-)

 

[rottenapple]

More like mmmmm swamp cooler

Just spray some brake cleaner on your air filter that will be a proper "cold air intake"

Wouldn't the intercooler just ruin your throttle response and increase restriction?

Yes, could be reduced by a very high flow intercooler. Air density, will also be effected, decreasing flow I believe.
