turbo intercooler

[yeeyeeyee]

i saw some of the turbo car...with really really big INTERCOOLER......

is that mean.....he has a big turbine(big turbo) inside??

 

[jinkl-]

should be souped up
if not he would be in turbo lag hell

 

[speedz1665]

could be for wayang purpose also....

 

[mojotudam]

what if its the other way round. say... a gsr standard side mount i/c with an evo 1 turbine?

Hot air = loss power.

 

[huakenny]

bigger intercooler will helps to cool down the temp of the car while speeding coz hot air will spread out easily through intercooler.............

 

[dolly]

true, but for low boost application, must take a look at the end tanks design.

somebody poster this b4.

conclusion: match your parts

 

[dedicool]

anyone knows what's the max hp limit for vr4 intercooler?

 

[badbuddyz]

big intercoolers need to build up more pressure in the intercooler itself. thus causes lag of the build up time needed to spin the turbine. BUT, the cooler the air enters the combustion chamber, the richer oxygen volume will be produced. correct me if i m wrong, thanks.

but how for like turbocharged MR cars...
engine at the back... then put the intercooler in the front trunk? longer i/c piping... will it affect the performance?

 

[badbuddyz]

yes, i think it does affect the performance. boost reading is based on pressure rite? i.e the pressure accumulated inside the engine system. so, the system is a closed system of pressure. say 1 bar is not a small value, 1 bar is about 100Kpa or 10197 kg/m2. the pressure build up is required because the pressure will rotate the turbine. but in the case of mid range engine. i dont think there is a lag due the system is efficient in stock. but if u change bigger intercooler or the diameter of piping, there should be lag in your turbo system. correct me if i m wrong, thanks.

Why lag? I thought big turbine that causes lag?

but how would it be for MRS and NSX? both are by stock NA....

MR2's 3SGTE intercooler is placed at the side of the rear engine bay with cool air swooping in through the side vents. The fan sucking the air (through the small intercooler) is quite powerful as well. Helps reduce heat soaking a lil bit there.

Most, if not all MR has side intakes/top vents/scoop to aid cooling. Of course, it wont be as efficient as a front mount. Of course, there'll be some funny dudes trying to make it not so conventional and mount it in front anyway. Lag? It goes through the cabin... hehe.

Hmm... what i have now currently in mind is mounting it at the side vents of a MRS.. but it looks a bit too small to accomodate an intercooler with the sufficient size for 2bar...top mount with another vent op top directing air to it.. nah... no space.
at first what i had in mind was what is in tht pic u attached aEROz.. but seeing that, in MRS' case, the length from the engine to the front trunk... isnt that far... and besides.. for most cars with front mounted IC, the pipings are bent here and there and after all the bending... the total length of the IC piping from front all the way to the top... might just be, if not, a little shorter, than the piping all the way to a 2ZZGE behind from the front trunk. and like in the pic... if we let the piping go thru the cabin... its just straight, with maybe just slight bending here and there.... unlike regular Supras on front mount..
okay but lets face it... after having it thought thoroughly, the IC piping for Supras are just shorter
