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
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.
its function is to force air into the engine to increase hp
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. that is the main function of a turbocharger.
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.
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.
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.
A car can run with out an intercooler, but if it was designed to have an intercooler, the driveabilty will be affected.
