I have a 21 Infiniti Q 60 TwinTurbo do you have any idea about what the inner cooler temperature run like? Is it at ambient temperature or is it above and if so what above ambient temperature does it run at?

Thank you very much

[@torquecars]

You are welcome, thanks for your encouragement and kind words of support.

The thought of fitting a intercooler to a NA never occurred to me.. It hurts my brain to think about it. But I can see how people came up with that one. Since it cools intake air. But I think it will be more of a restriction than anything due to the pressure/flow difference in intake air compared to a forced induction setup.

[@torquecars]

You'll be surprised at the questions I get asked. "Can you run diesel fuel instead of petrol if you adjust the timing" was a classic?

[@madcat4563]

@@torquecars That sounds like an interesting concept. As a mechanic, you hear interesting things from clients, but not that bad.

Dude that intro is a ear killer!!!!

[@torquecars]

Sorry, This was one of my early videos, I'm trying to redo these older videos so this doesn't happen because I can't edit the sound on here. Thanks for taking the time to point this out and i'll cut the intro section on this one for you.

[@Dave-gg6vl]

@@torquecars thanks mate. I enjoyed your video, I’ll checkout more 👍

Hey is it worth upgrading intercooler for bmw e60 530d

[@BleedingSnow]

Lol love the intercooler solution of getting an ice cream van for that ice aha

[@torquecars]

Glad you spotted that!

Hi, I wanted to know if it's better to use 50mm boost pipes or 63mm boost pipes for a GTB1756? Someone told me that 50mm is better be because your car will boost/spool faster because there's less of a gap to fill as air is travelling through the 50mm boost pipe as compared to the 63mm...does this make sense?

[@torquecars]

Yes the velocity is higher at low to mid rpms through a 50mm pipe, however the top end power is a little better on the 63mm. Bore size and flow rate very much has a bearing on where the power is. Personally I'd want my 1756 to spool up quickly and would need the power at the lower end of the rpm range so I would go with a 50mm.

Going forward, you can loose the music please…….

[@torquecars]

Yes certainly the music has been dropped for the last year or more, I am working through replacing these early videos and will add this to the "needs an update" list.
