Intercooler picture thread?
(09-06-2013, 02:32 PM)MFSuper90 "What ranges of efficiency can be expected from an intercooler?
A typical air-to-air intercooler for a street application achieves between 60% and 70% efficiency, an excellent/optimum design for road racing can approach close to 90% efficiency, but requires an adequate "budget!”
Typically, a liquid-to-air intercooler achieves higher efficiencies than an air-to-air intercooler, starting at 75% efficiency and reaching peaks of 95% efficiency. Another advantage is the optional use of ice as a coolant, which is the only way to reduce the charge-air temperature below the ambient air temperature."
That quote is from Bell's website. But I also found some of the frequently ask questions contradicting sometimes.
My intercooler. Winmutts old setup
(10-03-2013, 01:11 PM)Tito here's some (crappy) pictures of my intercooler setup. I wanted a clean and stealth look. The hoses fit really tight under the headlamp units. There's some adjustment needed. Essentially, everything that stick out under the unit needs to be removed.Looks good
Just got the car up and running a hour ago. Sounds great
