Super cooled Intercooler

[Kamsin]

Finaly got it sorted and working right.

I have add a fan to the intercooler because when you go off road you dont get the air flow like you would on the road, therfore the intercooler is not doing much. I have also add a water jet system to it, this work on Thermo cooling. It like getting out of a swimming pool on holiday in the blazing sunshine, because your wet it still feels cold when the wind blows on you, Even if its 29C.
Any way here is a quick video of it in action. how much better its going to be i have yet to find out.

The fan pulls the water into the intercooler and wets everything, just how i planned.

Came to about £35 all in for this little lot. I will have to look at the rest of your photos now to see what else im going to rob, :lol.
I like the internal Snork, but dont want to clog up the passenger side.

 

[makeitfit]

No clogging there nate and still have the use of screen vent and glove box :thumbs
I'm just rebuilding my turbo at the mo after it's bigger compressor wheel and housing :naughty
That's why I did the bigger I/C :sly

Nice one mate, do they really get that hot?

 

[makeitfit]

No, it's all about cooling the air passing through them. Therefore denser therefore more oxygen therefore more bang therefore more fasterer :lol

Ahh I see:augie blonde moment :doh

For any one that want to build one, this is the parts list i had..

This bottle had everything i needed.

And the fan

All from EBay

When getting a fan make sure its going to blow the right way, i went for a push/pull fan so i could reverse it if it was wrong.

Ryan, remember we live in Scotland, we have country wide intercooling for free!

 

[Fez_uk]

does this make a difference? been thinking of doing it for a while.

 

[Kamsin]

In all honesty, i dont know :lol. But it looks great :naughty.

Im guessing on the open road, no it wont make a difference, but on lanes it should as the air flow over the cooler will be reduced due to the lack of speed and also it will be getting warm air from the engine. this should improve it.

Also the Scooby Turbo has this kind of system fitted to it, so if they think it make it better then who am i to argue.:augie

do you need 125 bhp off road?

assuming i/c is doing nothing then the old td was
producing 100 bhp.

frankly 25 bhp, or 25 % is a lot to get from an
intercooler any way, i'd expect it makes about
10% which suggests that more than half of the
25bhp is coming from electronics/ecu.

in this case truck is likely making around 110bhp
stationary, providing of course the loud pedal
is given some welly and again off road this is
less likely.....

whats the insurance increase like?
