Intercooled Na
#1
I had some one ask me if this could work and i didnt know. I do know that the cooler the air the denser there fore the better. But what i didnt know is if you hooked up an intercooler to a na it would work. Turbos are pushing out alot of air. It seems to me that adding an intercooler into the line and the extra piping would decrease how much air made it to the engine on a na. Plus i dont see to big of a hp gain from this on a na. Anyone know anything on this so i can better answer the question?

It's funny you bring this up. I've got a Starion intercooler I've been trying to sell, but I was thinking that it would be funny to weld on a 180 deg. U bend on one inlet, with an air filter on it. And on the other inlet welding a 90 deg. bend. And then listing the thing on Ebay as the untimate cold air intake. I'm sure some rice boy would buy it.

This is the IM i got from the person wanting to know i edited the name
tuner4life: yo
RX7 88 Vert: um hi
tuner4life: Im wanting a cooler intake. any suggestions?
tuner4life: what about intercooling?
RX7 88 Vert: is it turbo or na?
tuner4life: na
RX7 88 Vert: That wont work
tuner4life: why not
RX7 88 Vert: well as far as i know it wont work i dont have any evidence to say yes or no but i dought it will
tuner4life: so then why do you say it wont if you dont know why it wont
RX7 88 Vert: hold on
tuner4life: yo you find out yet
I signed off for a while and then came back on and he was still bothering me. I need to figure out how to block these fools.

$185 shipped to your door. I wouldn't be making a dime off of it. I bought it from Rotaryman88 about 9 months ago for $185 shipped.
I was thinking of trying to sell it for $300 if I made it the ultimate cold air intake, and all I'd have to do is buy a $20 cone filter, and $20 worth of aluminum pipe bends. But I would rather sell it to someone who would use it for an intercooler.
The reason turbos need an IC is because whenever air is compressed it heats up, and when you use exhaust gasses to turn the turbine to compress air, it gets really hot.

Ill let you know about the IC later.
