what does adding an intercooler to a non turbo car do? does it make any better performance??

 

they're only for turbo cars

 

X2. Intercoolers were made for forced inducted cars. If you put an intercooler on a non super/turbocharged car where would the pipes connect to???

 

I think it would be pretty gay to put an intercooler on a car that is not Turbocharged. The intercooler is there on boosted applications because when the Turbos compressor compresses the air the air heats up. The intercooler is there to cool down the intake charge before it reaches the engine.


OP, I assume your kinda meaning to use the intercooler as a "CAI"(Cold Air Intake)? And I would assume clamping a filter on the Driver side end tank of the intercooler and then using the intercooler to try and cool the incoming air? Just buy a CAI if that's what you want. Driving around with an intercooler without a boosted setup is gay and people will make fun of you...I know I would.

 

ooooh my
they do make CAIs that look like intercoolers. its a big filter with one open end..

 

So that's what the ricer world has come to? Good Grief

 

i think i seen one the other day on a hatch that had 18s on it...for reals

 

 

Good grief. I saw a Civic a month or so ago that had a huge wing, graphics down the side..two guys in it that were acting like they were "cool" and it had Dual exhaust out the back, one of each side..it was cold out and only one of them had vapor/steam coming out..so I guess the other one wasn't even hooked up...just there for looks..and I thought that was bad..now I see they have intercooler CAI kits. No wonder our sport gets a bad rap from V8 Heads.

 

^true..but we can redeem ourselves by haulling a 300hp all motor K series under the hood with hubcaps and stock heigth......

 

there was this guy who had a honda del sol it was stock engine non turbo with an intercooler. i heard u can plug it in place of your intake..........brings colder air into engine...............

 

Dude, mcvtec already posted the picture of them above so there for sure out there, but I think your missing the point. Driving around with a Intercooler CAI is GAY. I mean really gay. Intercoolers are for "boosted" applications. Why would you want to be a poser and run an intercooler without a Turbo?? That's **** ricers do. If you want a Cold Air Intake, then buy your standard Cold Air Intake that puts the filter in the fender well, just make sure you have your splash guards in place.

Once again, running an intercooler intake system without a Turbo is GAY, Retarded, Stupid, Absurd, Ricer-ish, Gay, Foolish, Gay, and did I mention "GAY"?

 

That is true.

 

ya its true they make intakes that are intercoolers but thats gay. why wuld u want t oact like ur on boost then some1 trys u at a light and ur all show

 

i was just wondering.......damn anger management!!

 

So you want an interfooler ?

 

Haha, Anger management..I wasn't angry..just making fun of you for wanting to do such a stupid, and foolish thing.

Now that's more like it. Fooler is all it would be..I guess he could make BOV sounds with his mouth though..might be good for an extra 100HP..if you make a REALLY super duper uber loud BOV sound like you just released pressure from Massive boost..you might get more HP.

No Turbo noises here..but this guy is good!

i neva wanted it......jw what it would do

 

In all seriousness. It would seem to do the same thing as your regular Cold Air Intake. Except give the illusion that you have a Turbo setup.

 

That’s one of the funniest you tube videos I have ever seen
