Intercoolers
On turbo charged engines the charged air temperature
influences power output. The higher the charge air temperature
is, the less power the engine will produce, so in warm
climate conditions or when the turbo is producing higher
boost pressures, the original intercooler may limit
the engine output.
By installing a more efficient intercooler it is possible
to cool the charged air further resulting in more power
or maintain power that would otherwise be lost.
This can be more noticeable where the engine has been
modified which often takes the original intercooler out
of its optimum design criteria. Our intercooler
kits are designed to both improve power and efficiency
of the turbocharged application and reduce heat levels.
Raise the boost to 14 psi, and you're looking at 370
degrees F when the air reaches the injectors; not only
does this heat prevent your engine from reaching its
performance potential, the hot air expands the fuel
mixture, leading to early detonation (pinking) and poor
fuel consumption.
Enter the intercooler. Intercoolers can create dramatic
results on engines that run a lot of boost, because
this excess heat has a place to dissipate.
