intercooler efect.

[bigboystoysguy]

so has anyone had even a minor improvement in performance do to a cold intake system??

I'll be adding a louver to my NTC3 once it gets warmer. Also will be adding it to a Savage SS once I purchase it. I'll post pics once it's done.

I got mine from RAMTech-RC here on the board.

i would guess do give a lil more performance

intercoolers arent for trannys they are run on turbo charged engines to kool the hot air going into the engine.

The reason why intercoolers give power is because when a turbocharger or a supercharger compresses air (even when its cold), it gets hot, so defeating the cold air intake effect. so the intercooler goes between the turbocharger and the engine to re-cool the compressed air for a double boost in power.
this thread is not really for intercooler, just wanted to tell you how it works and what is does, so you do now mistake it again.
But the things you are talking about now are a ram air effect, and would only increase power if its directly connected perfectly to the carb. and if you just atach it to the body, it will just cool the engine.

The reason I posted a response was because his "intercooler" idea was referring to cold air intake. the subject line is deceiving.

sorry guys:doc:

 

[Diver6127]

not a big deal :chillpill

 

[Willthethrill]

just tellin you, didnt mean to make people feel stupid

 

[Diver6127]

Been around cars for a while, never felt stupid. I know what an intercooler is.

I know I'm a little bit late but another reason intercoolers are good is because cold air is denser and with a turbo the more air you can get (without blowing up the engine) the better. Just a little extra info.
