Intercooler on an all-motor
I wanted to know if this is possible and a good idea. Trying to have the air cold all the time. Would it be legal? I would have my scoop on the left side..ran to the intercool..which would be connected to the tb/intake manifold. good or bad idea?

Re: Intercooler on an all-motor (fasthatch89)
The air is already cool. An intercooler cools the heat generated by the turbo or blower. It would be more efficient to run an intake tube through your headlight or bumper. You would just be cooling air that is already cool. It would be restrictive.

Re: Intercooler on an all-motor (fasthatch89)
An intercooler works because of the temperature difference of the intake air and the ambient air. The temperature difference is there because the turbo heats the air when it compresses it. With no turbo or supercharger you have no temperature difference, and with no temperature difference all the intercooler does is restrict airflow.

I was being ironic
