Hey all...
Not real sure if this would make any difference at all... So just after some feedback off someone who has more of an idea than me... Looking (in the distant future) to turbo my car, already got the intercooler sorted... So for the time being would it be worth going to the trouble intercooling my NA? Of it doesn't achieve very much? Thanks, Tim

It wont help with cooling on an N/A Car but if your going to turbo it soon after then why not?
Just dont hook it up

Got house renos happening at present... It will (hopefully) happen one day... probably wont be soon until these reno's are finished and I recover a bit from the money spending... My limit at present is sort of about $200 per mod so doinf small things don't have 3k for a snort stage 2 yet...
I've seen people on here doing "cold air intakes" for the i6 and I was wondering if straight out intercooling would more than achieve these small kw gains these people are doing with their fancy airbox set ups...

No mater what you do an air cooled intercooler can not get intake temps below ambient temp. the intercooler just be a huge restriction. |

ahhhh... that makes sense... yeah I see why now...
The only way it make difference to be able to cool the air to bellow ambient, which an intercooler wont do... Would be more achievable with an ice box or something of that nature... makes heaps of sense now... helps with a turbo coz it brings the high temperatures (as turbos bolted to exhaust manifolds get hot) back to ambient... Thanks, Tim

Thanks, Tim Heat soak has the least impact on compressor outlet temps. outlet temp is high because you are compressing the air. Heat and Temperature are not the same. what you are doing is cramming the the heat into a smaller space, that raises the temp. I used to have good link that explained it very well. but i'll try. lets say you have to containers of air, one is twice the size of the other. they are both the same temperature. The larger has more heat in it, because to bring twice the amount of air to same temp requires more heat. You now compress the larger one down to the same size as the smaller one. the amount of heat stays the same, but the temp rises. More heat in a given space mean higher temp. |

yeah when you compress gases they get hot...
When you evacuate gases the containers chill... Notice this when we gas circuit breakers at work...

It's the same way an air conditioner or heat pump works
When the gas gets compressed in the heatpump it heats up. Then heats your water |
