You can but the extra heat caused by the turbo will go into your engine and it won't make as much power. It does reduce lag though because the air doesn't have to go as far to get to the engine. So there are advantages both ways.
The intercooler hoses deliver air from the turbocharger outlet to the intercooler inlet and from the intercooler outlet to the engine intake manifold. When air is compressed in the turbocharger, it gets heated. The intercooler cools the air coming out of the turbocharger before it goes into the engine. Cooling the intake air helps prevent detonation (engine knocking) and lets the engine use a little bit higher compression ratio.
The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.
Its at front near the intercooler where the pipe goes in the top of the intercooler it should be a denso sensor unless its been changed for an aftermarket one hope this helps
A car can run with out an intercooler, but if it was designed to have an intercooler, the driveabilty will be affected.
It is possible to put on a turbocharger but make sure you also put a tune on the engine and pair it with an intercooler.
Yeah...I guess you could say that. If you break a blade in a turbocharger, the out-of-balance condition will cause the turbo to self-destruct. Said exploding turbo will take out your intercooler too.
Turbokits.com is a good place to start. Or Google search it. Most kits should run between $4k and $10k. It might be worth the extra to get a kit with the intercooler and hoses.
Yes. Compressing air heats it up. The compressed air from the turbocharger should be cooled before it enters the engine. Not using a charge air cooler severely limits the benefits available from turbocharging.
It doesn't. An intercooler cools and densifies the air entering the engine after being compressed (and therefore heated) by a supercharger or turbocharger. Because the air entering the engine is denser (more molecules), it needs MORE gas in order to maintain the correct air-to-fuel ratio. An intercooler is intended to increase horsepower, which means increased gas consumption... not decreased.
In common usage, particularly in reference to turbocharged automobile engine, there is effectively no difference. "Intercooler" is the original (English) term, used to refer to an air cooling device interposed between a turbocharger (or supercharger) and the engine's air intake manifold. They can be air-to-air, or air-to-water, and are in reality, just heat exchangers.However, with further developments in forced air intake systems, the formal meaning of "intercooler" has changed to mean a cooling stage interposed between successive "heating" stages, such as in an engine with series connected turbochargers. An "Aftercooler" is therefore the last cooling stage before the engine. Thus, aftercooler is probably now more correct in most cases, where only a single turbocharger or supercharger is present.Both terms are also covered by the term "Charge Air Cooler" which could be used in all cases without risk of being incorrect!
An intercooler is placed in the airflow path between the turbocharger and the engine intake in order to cool the air after it has been compressed by the turbo. Compressing air heats it up. By cooling it back down, the air becomes denser. This means more air molecules go into the cylinder. This (when mixed with the proper amount of fuel) increases engine power compared to a non-intercooled engine.
Yes you can. I'm not sure of your knowledge of this so I'll say alot You can get a turbocharger for anything, as long as it is done the right way. What you will need will be an exhaust manifold with a turbo flange on it. This flange must fit the size turbo. (t25, t3-t4). It should be clearly stated on information on the manifold. You will need a wastegate.... depending on the turbo. If it is internal, you don't, external, then yes. Piping- from turbo to intercooler and intercooler to intake manifold Intercooler, to mount on front of truck behind bumper. probably smaller one for ranger. air to air intercooler... blow-off-valve- mount as close to intake manifold. Boost controller and Boost gauge. To monitor and change pressure. (keep below 7psi (7psi is a pretty well know threshold for stock engines) on engine with stock internals) that is the basics..... also might want to upgrade fuel and cooling system to keep up with the performance of the new mods...
