How Intercoolers Add Power And Why You Need One
Sure, they look badass slapped on the
front of anything JDM or Moog's Wasabi 9000, but intercoolers can be a
vital component for power gains and engine health. So how do they work?
Put simply, intercoolers take warm air entering your engine and make it
colder through heat exchange. The rules of thermodynamics state that the
larger the temperature difference between the inlet air through the
manifold and the temperature of combustion within the cylinder, the more
energy is converted through the combustion. So a colder intake means a
bigger temperature difference and therefore more power.
