you would have to be kidding me right. i dare you to run the engine up on a dyno or go for a drive then put your hand on the underside of the intercooler piping, then imagine the inside wall of that pipe when the only thing that cools it is the air thats come out of the intercooler, which means its cooling the inside by transfering its heat to the cooled air! dont mean to be rude but you will never ever see the intercooler piping running over exhaust in a race or proper high performance car intercooler setup, if it did i would show you the person that always runs secound etc. in a race setup you even give the cooler pipes etc a second thermal barrier by wraping and or thermal coating. the colder the charge the more power you make, by getting a colder charge etc for free it means you can get more power reliably with out having to raise the rev as high to make it which means thre is extra power there for the taking if needed. we have made over 1100hp at the wheels from 2.3litre twin turbo v6 but thats at 11 000 rpm, at this revs and above an engine will have a very limited life.the above engine cost well over the $100k to develope over three years and has to be stripped or at the very least the sump of and check the bearings etc after a race meeting or ten or so hard dyno runs. hosepower isnt that hard to get its keeping the engines together and the expense. lol we must have scared the summernats guys they have now restricted revs to 7500rpm for all engines the mongrels so that means a small capacity engine can no longer compete with a fair go against V8 turbo engines. lol still makes much more than 700hp at 7500rpm we just have to add more boost, but it puts turbo engines on the edge with mega boost as you only need a hicup with fueling etc to lunch an engine.dyno shootouts arnt my cup of tea as im a circuit racer, but its amazing to hear and feel an engine thats at its raged edge!. lol hope you guys find this intresting , i was bored down in the garage waiting for the carbonfibre to go off in front of the heater! mick [Report message to a moderator]
