Actually, I would have argued on your side not so long ago, so you could probably change my mind, yet was presented with an actual situation on a car rescently that's air temp sensor was actually showing this to be the case, the temperature after the intercooler was below that of ambient. After a "that's not possible session" I had a look into it, and it's what was happening. Admittedly it was on an sr20 with a garrett branded mack truck intercooler that is basically the width of the wheel track of the car, so it's not a normal situation. I'm not going to explain it, I can't well enough to do it any justice. It's not something I have a theory on. I saw it, measured it. Thought that's bullsh*t it can't happen, then checked it. And it was happening. OK. I beleive all the physics behind this and even though I learnt all this at school, I've forgotten too much to explain it all. BUT, I have seen intake temps below ambient too! It was on an SR20 with a massive intercooler too coincidently. The pipe between the intercooler exit and the throttle body had frost on it close to the throttle. I can't explain it, I believe the physics saying it's impossible, but I've seen it. My only guess is evaporative cooling due to moisture on the intercooler. [Updated on: Sun, 23 June 2002 13:04] [Report message to a moderator]
