Thanks Matt and Tim - love these techie shows mate! Matt, your explanation of moving heat makes a lot of sense and the application of this idea to turbo upgrades and just inter-cooler upgrades. What about spraying water on the factory inter-cooler under those load conditions - going up a long hill pulling a camper/caravan?

Hi Benny, anything you can do to control heat will be helpful and water sprays do work. The problem with the standard ZD30 intercooler is that even on a flat bit of road they get hot, most other front mounted intercoolers like fitted to Ranger, Colorado, Dmax, Prado, etc will deal with normal loads until the going gets tough.

@@tonymcintyre7701 yes its a great addition and its important to make sure you have good air flow over the intercooler to assist in taking the heat away. If its under the bonnet make sure the intercooler is sealed to a good sized bonnet mounted vent. An extraction fan mounted under the intercooler is also a great idea.
@mattjackson45413 жыл бұрын
An intercooler will not directly change coolant temp BUT, if the engine can do the same job more easily (with cool dense air) than you will find you will need less throttle, less RPM and arguably less engine heat will be generated.

Hi Glenn, no an intercooler is not required on a petrol engine BUT, cool intake air is still just as important. A late model EFI engine still monitors intake air temp (IAT) and the ECU will alter the tune and power as the temp rises. If you are looking to get the best performance out of your petrol or diesel engine, unrestricted, cold, dense air is required.
