if you cant make use of the intercooler on the top of the engine, is it reasonable or possible to just move the intercooler to the front of the car, and fabricate piping. i might come across a TII engine, for my first gen, i wouldnt have enough for a Front mount.

 

Well You just have to fab some end tanks or piping to go to it.

The TII IC if held upright.
Has a bottom left entrance and a rear top right exit.

 

i dont really understand how intercoolers work, so......end tanks? what's that?

 

you could just light it on fire and be done with it, would work just as good, then you could blame it on the government to collect the insurance money.

 

wow...in the tech section....

 

Endtanks are the tanks welded to the ends of the intercooler core. This is where you put your inlet/outlet pipes.


An intercooler works just like a radiator. It is a heat exchanger. Except, this is an air to air heat exchanger. Where a radiator is a air/water heat exchanger.

so the air only goes through the tanks?how does the air get from one tank to another?

 

Just like a radiator. It has rails which are finned.

The fins releave the heat.

Check ebay for FMIC and you'll see pics of IC's with end tanks or none.

Some come without ends so you can make custom tanks to go in the directions/shapes you need.
