What are some uses for NOS?
NOS CAN BE USED FOR HORSEPOWER IN DRAG RACING ,YOU CAN USE IT TO COOL YOUR INTERCOOLER ON TURBO AND SUPERCHARGED CARS WITH INTERCOOLER AND SOME PEOPLE USE IT TO GET HIGH BUT IT WORKS BETTER ON CARS
Do you run the air that your turbocharger blows out through your intercooler then to your throttle body or do you put a filter on one end of the intercooler and have the turbo breathe from it?
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.
Is the Mercedes 312D engine a turbo intercooler?
yes
Purpose of intercoolar hose in a Volvo?
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.
What maitenance need for engine turbo intercooler?
An intercooler you just need to keep clean, free from blockages. Repair any damage from road debris.
If you want put a turbo into your Proton M21 what do you have to do?
Go to http://www.rpw.com.au and they have turbo kits for the M21. The engine in your car is the same engine that comes with a turbocharger in Mitsubishi cars, so everything will bolt right up. The main difference is, your engine has higher compression, so if you were to buy a stock Mitsubishi turbo kit (used or new) to install on your engine, you'd have to either buy an aftermarket intercooler or get used to buying 94+ octane gas... The upside will be, if you buy an intercooler, you're motor will have a much higher horsepower rating than the same turbo engine in a stock Mitsubishi due to your higher compression. If you do not use an intercooler I promise you that detonation will destroy your engine! Have fun!
If you have oil in your intercooler is your turbo going bad?
There will always be some oil in the intercooler. Part of the emissions system connects the engine breather to the airbox. As the turbo sucks air through the airbox it tends to suck some oil into the intercooler.
Can not cleaning the intercooler after turbo replacement cause the engine to run away?
Yes!
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.
Why you want to cool the the compressed air before going engine in take?
Use an intercooler.
How many cylinders does a bus have?
12 cylinder engine twin turbo stock intercooler
Where is the inlet pipe connection on a 2000 Volkswagen Passat 1.8t petrol?
The intake pipe is on the passenger's side of the engine compartment. The air goes from the airbox to the turbo and then over to the intercooler on the driver's side. From the intercooler it goes to the intake manifold on the driver's side of the engine.
