The need for an intercooler is solely Dependant on the turbo blowers. As the blowers are pushing more air into the combustion chamber, the air becomes less dense as it becomes heated through the movement through the turbos. Intercoolers function to drop the temperature of incoming air into the turbos so that when the air is forced into the combustion chamber it is cooler and more dense, hence, creating a better situation for combustion. As the air is not being pumped into the combustion chamber and simply aspirating naturally, there is no need to cool the air before a heating cycle that isn't present in a non-turbo engine. Intercoolers, however, do look really awesome.

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.
Can not cleaning the intercooler after turbo replacement cause the engine to run away?
Yes!
Why can't you put a BOV on a non-turbo car?
Because the bov requires pressure in the intake system to work, this pressure comes from the turbo, no turbo on your car no pressure in your intake system to work one.
Is the Lexus IS 300 a rear wheel drive car?
Yes it is, and equipped with a non turbo version of the ever popular 2JZ
How do you convert a non turbo car to turbo?
the 300zx is cheaper to buy a turbo'ed engine and all the managment that goes with it. otherwise you have to buy a differenct ecu and a turbo. modify the block and run oil breathers and all the running gear, intercoolers and sensors.
Will an intercooler work on non turbo car?
Yes and No. Intercoolers cool air that is compressed in a turbo. You can setup an intercooler on a non turbo car and have it connected to the air intake and such... .....it will rob you of horsepower by sending air through a lot of unnecessary tubes.
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.
Can a car turbo run with a intercooler?
yes
Why has my car got two radiators?
I suspect one will be an intercooler for the turbo

What do you all need to have a complete turbo kit for a 1997 Eclipse?
If your boosting any car. What you need is the: -Turbo -turbo mani -oil feed -oil dran -oil flanges -exhaust flanges -injectors -intercooler -intercooler piping -BOV -WG -tuned ECU
Which is better Inter cooler turbo engine or non inter cooler turbo engine?
im not sure what u mean...but i guess u mean is it better to run intercooler with your turbo setup on a particular engine...yes the intercooler will aid in cooling drastically over a non intercooled engine...think of it as a/c or non a/c in your house u want the cold cold air if possible
Can you put a blow off valve on non-turbo Supra?
No, there is no reason for it. In turbo cars you have intercooler pipes that need pressure released at certain times. You have no intercooler in non-turbo cars. I guess you could install one if you wanted to look silly, but it wouldn't serve any purpose or be functional. I hear you can get a fake bov that makes the sound, if that's what you are looking for.
Is there a way to install a intercooler in to a non turbo car?
It isn't really necessary. All an intercooler does (besides cooling a turbo unit so it doesn't overheat) is cool down the air going into the engine. The air only needs to be cooled because it passes by the hot engine and through a hot turbo. in a car without a turbo, all there is to warm up the air is the engine, so you want to get the air from as far away from the engine as possible. The answer is a cold air intake. These are much cheaper than intercoolers and much simpler.
How do you get the turbo sound on a non-turbo car?
Buy a turbo
Is the Mercedes 312D engine a turbo intercooler?
yes
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.
