Been thinking of doing this setup with my b16.. Lets see some non-intercooled turbo setups?

AWOC

stop being cheap and get a damn intercooler. What happened turbooptions couldn't find you a stolen one? hahahahah

civic-r11

i do agree.. why not just do it right the first time.. even if you get a side mounted one.. it would be better than not having one at all.. wow..

How much boost do you plan on running? Why don't you want to run an intercooler?

Just run an IC... Cheap enough and the majority of people have them on there setups. There are alll different sizes/colors so WTF

Dude you can get intercoolers with piping for well under 200bucks for simple setups.


Man what a cheapass! Its pointless not to have one, unless your a meth built car or this is the 1970s.

Dont do the Non IC setup.....Lame.

its not about being cheap or not. maybe what he wants out of his car, a intercooler isnt neccessary.

or maybe hes planing to run the greddy kit to keep it legal.
greddy kit passes emissions WITHOUT a intercooler.

damn...


noobs these days..

Well. He won't find too many non-intercooled setups here.. A heat exchanger like that is mainly required for the needs of 99.9% of those running a turbocharger at all.

HAHA!!! lets just bash the **** outa this dude! wow.

i was thinking about running no intercooled as well just for the fact that i love my yellow fogs on my ej8 and i dont want to have some ridiculous looking holes in my bumper. side mount is not an option b/c i will be keeping ac and ps. so dont just bash him for wanting to see some set ups, there is most likely more to it then him just being cheap.

:thinking intensely, weighing options:

"motor?......yellow fogs.....Motor??.......Yellow fogs....MOTOR???....YELLOW FOGSS!!!!!!"

"yellow fogs wins"

i suppose. for those of us who dont have race cars that tear up that 1/4 mile and want to focus more on just auto-x and just need a little pep.. non intercooled can work out just fine. you dont HAVE to use an intercooler for a turbod car. im pondering running a t25 on 10 psi on my stock d16y8 for auto-x set up. not everyone enjoys driving their "race cars" with intercoolers good for 700 hp on their 300 hp civic in straight lines for 12 secs. at a time. and not everyone NEEDS an intercooler just because theyre boosted...

Perhaps the question we should be asking is *why* this person doesn't want an intercooler. Perhaps they don't want to have it prominently visible in the front of the car, giving the fact that their car isn't stock away. Perhaps they don't know that used intercoolers are like $100. In any case, I don't think any relevant information could be presented until we know what the *goal* is.

If you don't want to run an intercooler, there are a few other options. You can fabricate or buy a charge cooler, a high-surface area interface on the way to the engine where a 5th injector sprays minute amounts of fuel onto the plate. The vaporization of this fuel removes heat from the intake charge, reducing temperature. Then the fuel just stays in the air until it is burned in the engine. The amount of fuel we are talking about is extremely small so it should have almost no effect on fuel economy.

Lotus used this design on Esprit S4's. Since the charge cooler is tiny, no one would see it with the hood closed.

since when is intercooling associated with drag racing....it'd be more the other way around actually.

if you're auto-x/road racing, you'd need an intercooler more than somebody beating their car for 12 sec at a time


really though, i'm in to hear the reason the OP wants to do it. maybe it's a good reason...

NonovUrbizniz

are you thinking about an alternative like water/meth injection? or just no charge air cooling?

Intercoolers are for ****** ; )

someone should tell them to stop being cheap and buy intercoolers, theyre cheap!!! (sarcasm)

I didn't run one on my first setup. It was fine. IATs were better than a supercharger and it was fun. Sorry no pictures. This was before cameras.
