no your na kicks as it is Posted by vvack0matic [Email] (#1443) [Profile/Gallery] (more from vvack0matic) on Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:30:33 In Reply to: running an intercooler w/o turbo?, Frost, Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:02:25 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
all the turbo cars have a heat problem
and this main problem is caused by the turbo unit,
as air is sucked into the turbo unit it raises the air temperature to astronomical numbers (the unit was clocked at 900 degrees)
which would put the air tem. right near there.
if this air was sucked into the piston chambers at this temp it would most indeed melt the piston head, or a valve.
the turbo cars came with the idea of the intercooler, so this super heated air can have a chance to cool down a bit.
the motor running as fast as it is the air can only get so cool with the stock inter-cooler before its sucked in to combustion.
when the temperature rises in the chambers it tends to trigger the knock sensor on the car to stop the boosting.
this is why some look toward a bigger inter-cooler so the super heated air has a chance to cool down even farther, (in hopes to try to get the temps near where your n/a suck it in)
if the turbo had super cooled air from the turbo unit the car could boost to next dimension.
this is the purpose for the inter-cooler.
with out the turbo super heating the air the intercooler is with out purpose.
about the turbo intake manifold i have no comment, only a question
are you trying to lean out the air/fuel mix in your car?
