It cools the air so more will fit in the engine. More air means more fuel can be burnt to make more power.

What is the purpose of the intercooler?

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.


What is an intercooled turbocharged engine?

Intercooler just refers to the radiator type device that cools the air that goes into the turbecharger.


What are the benefits of upgrading to a turbo intercooler pipe at Billcar Limited, and how does it improve the performance of a vehicle's turbocharged engine?

Upgrading to a turbo intercooler pipe at Billcar Limited can provide several benefits for a vehicle's turbocharged engine. Firstly, a larger diameter intercooler pipe can allow for a greater volume of air to flow through the turbocharger and intercooler, reducing the risk of pressure drop and improving overall engine performance. Additionally, a high-quality intercooler pipe made from durable materials can resist cracking, warping, or leaking that could lead to engine damage or poor performance. This can be especially important for high-performance vehicles that experience high temperatures and pressures during operation. A turbo intercooler pipe can also improve the responsiveness of a turbocharged engine by reducing turbo lag, which is the delay between pressing the accelerator and the engine delivering power. This can lead to a more immediate and consistent throttle response, providing a smoother and more enjoyable driving experience. Overall, upgrading to a turbo intercooler pipe at Billcar Limited can be a cost-effective way to enhance the performance and durability of a vehicle's turbocharged engine, providing better power, reliability, and driving enjoyment.


How much power does a engine have in it?

Depends on engine size, how many cylinders, turbocharged or not, supercharged or not, fuel type used, etc. Please be more specific with the question.


What is the squealing noise 04 tdi golf?

If its a high pitch squealing while accelerating, then the previous owner may have turbocharged, or supercharged the engine.


What is the function of an intercooler?

An intercooler, or charge air cooler, is an air-to-air or air-to-liquid heat exchange device used on turbocharged and supercharged (forced induction) internal combustion engines to improve their volumetric efficiency by increasing intake air charge density through isochoric cooling. A decrease in air intake temperature provides a denser intake charge to the engine and allows more air and fuel to be combusted per engine cycle, increasing the output of the engine.


How much does it cost to rebuild a B-18 engine?

To rebuild a B18C5 engine, on factory specs with new parts and sealing kit inside, up to 2000 Euro. For a turbocharged or belt-supercharged, up to 5000 Euro.


Do you need an intercooler for a turbo?

You don't have to have one, but having one will increase the power of the engine a bit more.


How does an after-cooler on a turbocharged diesel engine work?

If you are talking about an intercooler (never heard of an after cooler) the hot exhaust coming out of the cylinders is cycles through the intercooling to cool the exhaust before its cycled through the turbo.


Can you put a turbo in a v8 supercharged engine?

Adding a turbo to a v8 that already has a supercharger, isn't worth it/cost effective. If you are removing the supercharger and converting it to turbocharged then yes. The engine is built for the load/power and is the best candidate for turbocharging.


How do you increase the power in a Subaru 2.5 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.


How much does an intercooler increase gas mileage?

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.
