Bill Sherwood Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane / Gold Coast Registered: May 2002	Re: Intercooler on NA Fri, 21 June 2002 10:55 FWIW, some of the Five Litre Touring Cars use dry ice in the inlet system to cool the air before it goes into the engine during the qualifying runs. Reason why an intercooler won't work with a n/a engine - An intecooler will only transfer heat back to ambient air if there's a temperature difference. If you're just using an intercooler before or after the throttle, then there's no difference so no cooling. Anotehr reason is that with an n/a engine if the ambient air temp goes up by 10° then you only notice a small decrease in performance. A rough guess with a turbo engine is that for every 1°C increase in ambient temperature, you'll get at least 5°C increase in air temp after the turbo compressor. So that 10°C soon becomes a good 50°C, and that really starts to hurt! [Report message to a moderator]
