Bigger turbos will typically be used for higher boost, yes the correlation is there, but of course they are not all created equal. You want to match the turbo to the power you'd like to make, so that it doesn't have much lag, and spools up quick enough.

#1. It is not just restricted air flow that drops the outtake pressure of an intercooler, it is also the drop in temperature, as almost any gas cools it will also decrease in the amount of volume it tends to use. for example, A pressure cooker does not pump air into itself to heat up the contents (as you all know), it heats up the liquid, creating steam (expanding gasses) and thus the rise in pressure, and with a rise in pressure you get a rise in temperature, like in a diesel engine, but once you turn off the pressure cooker... the pressurized chamber will begin to condense until the humidity and pressure return to normal and now your left with cool air again. #2. What about the condensation from hot to cold, will it get into the engine?
@EngineeringExplained
11 жыл бұрын
Correct, there are several solutions to this however. Vacuum brakes will also have a 1 way valve to hold the vacuum in the chamber to use for braking, so when the car idles or loses boost, it will create the vacuum again. A vacuum pump or hydraulic booster could also be used.

Cooling the pressurized fuel/ air mixture increases the mass of fuel /air mixture that can be crammed into the cylinder. Intercooling has the added advantage of allowing the charge to be compressed further before it reaches combustion temperature. It is possible to 'supercharge' an engine by using an intercooler on its own.

Been doing a lot of reading about IC recently and the one of the huge difference between tube and fin and bar and plate is. Tube and fin is really restrictive and does nothing for air flow even though it’s a force induction system. The fact that those tubes protrude in the tank doesn’t help air flow. Bar and plate on the other hand doesn’t have that protrusion in the tank so it doesn’t slow down air flow but actually speed up the flow of air.

super well explained also the reason sometime you don't want a taller or thicker intercooler is because if you are not running that much boost it will take a longer time for you to hit the boost level your set at aka lag a turbo will lag harder trying to fill the system at 15psi of boost with a big intercooler vs a smaller one

lol glad I'm not the only one who thought instantly of Blue's Clues when I saw this haha... On a side note...the reason I was weary of my heat exchanger (water to air) on my supercharged Cavalier was because of the reliance on a pump. My pump failed during a very spirited run and then on some heavy highway pulls. Well I wasn't monitoring my IAT's at the time and the motor went (piston literally splintered). You wont have that with an air to air, the worse that happens is a charge pipe blows off which you'll know right away. But I've had both and having a sufficient intercooler is definitely key.. my stock Focus ST intercooler is basically useless except for daily driving. Its the only part I need to go stage 3 but it should have been the first part I upgraded to for peace of mind! thanks for another good video! the car community is definitely a better place with people like you taking the time to help others understand how things work!

There is something you didn't go into that almost nobody talks about but is greatly effected by the hight of the intercooler. The size and shape of the end tanks make a big difference on air flow and pressure drop through the core of the intercooler. If you have skinny end tanks there will be turbulence trying to fill the upper section of the intercooler and make it less effective. The larger the end tanks and the smoother the transition, the better for air flow. Check this out in practice by looking at the end tanks on the intercooler of a Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32, R33, or R34) with the bumper off..

Just a suggestion thou! But i've seen lots of drag cars that use water-to-air intercooler method, and it would be cool if a wise guy like you could explain in a video about the differences of these two!

I think you didn't place enough importance on the plumbing aspects. Air-to-air intercoolers can be difficult to install because you need a large pipe running to and from the cooler, also the volume in the pipe is larger, which slows down the response when boost is increasing. Air-to-water coolers can be placed directly between the turbo and the intake manifold which is far easier since the cooler is smaller and you don't need to fabricate a lot of complex bends. Also the volume between the turbo and manifold is much smaller. The water circuit adds extra cost but is far easier to plumb since the water hose is more flexible and the length doesn't matter much. You can also put the radiator anywhere you want, it doesn't have to go near the normal radiator as is typical in air-to-air systems. The water pump can be electric so it can be placed anywhere as well. I think the easier installation and cheaper air ducting outweighs the extra cost, particularly in an aftermarket project.

The spokesman for the engineers of the Ford Focus RS said that the intercooler had to be dialed back. He said that it was necessary to put a plate covering the far end of the intercooler to prevent any further cooing at the end. He said that without the plate, there was condensation. I know that compressors have dewaterers for this reason. I live in a climate where the dewpoint is usually around 50 degrees, and rarely exceeds 65 degrees. Positive and negative-- what are the consequences of removing the plate?

I learned that with Subaru they mount all the intercooler's on top of the engine and the throttle body is directly connected to it. They did it this way so that air passing into the hood scoop would flow through the cooler and down under the engine/transmission and keep the heat away. Good video though; The air to..

I recently purchased a GTI, and I’m hoping to get some good miles out of it. I’ve wondered if installing an aftermarket or upgraded OEM intercooler (Golf R?) may help reduce heat and therefore stress on my motor. If the goal was logevitiy and an OEM+ style of tuning, could a well designed intercooler help extend the life of my engine? I live in the southeast where it is hot and humid. Temps can regularly crest 95-100° from late May - September or November some years. My concern is how heatsoak from normal operations or spirited driving and anything in between could affect longevity when considered in totality.

Cuz, Q=V.A and I think air speed should be faster and cooler filled in much faster according to other system? Can u test it? Cuz I believe that, pipes size are huge important things just like tires!
