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.


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.


Where is the turbocharger boost sensor a on the 406 2.0 hdi 110?

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


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.


If the blades in a turbo charger break off will it effect the 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.

Do you know where you can get a turbocharger or turbocharger kit for a 2000 eclipse GS on what website Is it woth?

Does a turbo increase horsepower?

yes. that is the main function of a turbocharger.


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.


Can you have a turbocharger without an intercooler?

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.


What does a turbo intercooler do?

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.


Can a car turbo run without a intercooler?

A car can run with out an intercooler, but if it was designed to have an intercooler, the driveabilty will be affected.
