Want this question answered?
thw weather is cold?
You don't have to have one, but having one will increase the power of the engine a bit more.
It produces 89 hp in Direct injection Intercooler equipped engine.
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.
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.
An intercooler is used on a turbocharged (or supercharged) engine. Assuming you have a turbo diesel: The turbo compresses air to get more air into your engine. More air + more fuel = more power. The air heats up as it is compressed, reducing it's density. An intercooler chills the air, increasing its density allowing for greater power to be generated.
To increase the horsepower of a diesel engine you need to put either a turbo charger or a supercharger on it. Cold air intake will also help.
Overall each piece is bigger and heavier.
increase airflow around engine, or increase airflow thru air cleaner to engine?
Air conditioning condenser. Right in front of the radiator is the Intercooler and then in front of the intercooler is the air conditioner condenser. Could also be a trans cooler, a power steering cooler... a bumper....
No way ! Do not mix petrol with diesel it will ruin your diesel engine and be a very costly repair job.
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.
