i am wondering becuase i am going to turbo my car soon. i know about front mount intercooler but where does the side mount intercooler mount? please dont say on the side im specifically wondering where on the side. tia

 

On the side

It goes where your lower airbox baffle goes (ie, behind the corner of bumper, in front of your wheel well.

 

It's also next to worthless as it heat-soaks within 15 minutes of driving.

Yes, they are a nice hunk of metal that does nothing ...

Irregardless ... it still goes there

 

thanks alot now another question i have is, having a front mounted intercooler, does it poes a water lock threat at all? i would assume when it is raining would the rain get into the intercooler as im driving and cause any kind of engine damage? tia

I'm not quite sure you know how a turbo system works.

Intercoolers are a sealed tank. They are not an intake. There is ZERO chance of water entering the system through your intercooler unless there's a hole or your coupler is torn ... and at that point, you've got boost leak, and the purpose of having a turbo is defeated.

Irregardless (while a double negative) is a commonly used English word. It's a mix of 'regardless' and 'irrespective'. It's about as improper as saying 'I deboned a chicken.'

It's not widely accepted, but it is a real word.

I know, I was just giving you a hard time. I was always taught it was wrong, and if you knew me, I get on all my employees for their English. Like melk and strawl (straw). I mean what the heck is a strawl?

If you don't like the look of a front mount, paint it black.

 

its not i dont like the look of it, its the fact i wanna make sure no engine damage will occur. im not that knowledgable about turbos so im appreciating any help and advice

 

btw thanks for answering my question

 

Like Eran said, it is a closed system and no damage will occur as long as everything is in good order. If it weren't, then you probably wouldn't see too many FMIC's. Oh, and black front mounts ftw! Also, read this thread if you want to learn how to install a turbo kit. And visit this site to find out more about how turbo systems work. It is a facinating site.

The intercooler is sealed from the elements. Water on it merely makes it cooler which will produce more power.

Also, irregardless is a word only to the ignorant masses who don't know the proper usage of "regardless". Saying something like irregardless is about as intelligent as describing something as "bigsmall" or "slowfast" or "redblue". You might as well not use the "word" at all because it cancels out any meaning inherent in either of the aggregate pieces.

Saying "irregardless" is the fastest way for someone to lose my respect during a conversation.

Also, your justification of irregardless via the word "deboned" is nonsensical. Deboned is a common cooking term that is not inherently self-canceling, nor did it rise from the American failure of an education system. No part of the suffix "de-" detracts from the verb "boned"; in fact it augments it by giving it a particular application vector, i.e. the removal of suggested bones.

And, in closing, "irregardless" is NOT - I repeat, NOT - a combination of the words regardless and irrespective. It is simply an idiot's way of attempting to sound less than foolish in a conversation by using a word bigger than his or her brain can handle. Anyone who told you that someone sat down and thought out the roots of a word that makes no sense - by your own admission - is full of ****. If "irregardless" actually did arise from a combination of two accepted words, it would not turn into a self-contained pocket of double negative, it would be an actual word with a separate definition.

You can almost think of intercooler as a radiator for your turbo. Except it cools the air, not the inside of your motor.

It's in every dictionary I've ever read as a nonstandard synonym for 'regardless' ... and explained as a combination of irrespective and regardless.

It's becoming a part of the English language .... irregardless of your sentiment

But to bone a chicken is to remove the bones. Thus, deboning is a double negative. De- is a prefix meaning taking away, or the opposite. "Taking away the removing of bones."

Are you going to tell me that when you look up the definition of a word in a dictionary, you are not, in fact, reading those words?

I don't come to this section of the site for a hardened discussion on the appropriateness or etymology of my vocabulary. At least I don't speak like this:

'yo guys i need sum infermashun on vetech moters and i havnt ben abel to find ne gud stuff

thnk for help.'

Give me some ******* slack.

 

ok thanks guys for everybody input

You are 100% correct in that it appears in dictionaries and is understood to be proper by a large majority of the population. That I cannot refute - nor would I try to. It is only that it is a word spawned from blithe ignorance that annoys me. I apologize if it seemed like I was taking it out on anyone

About deboning: my mind went to a far dirtier place for the origin of the word "boning" lol. The origin of the slang term comes easily to mind - that it has a proper place as a culinary verb in its own right sailed right past me. In that respect, you are also 100% correct. Deboning is a no-no.

Would this be the proper place to put the smiley and say,

"I deboned your mom last night. Giggity." ... ?
