How Intercooler (Types) Enhance Car Horsepower? Learn Guide Here

 

Car remodeling? Well, If you already modified your Audi, BMW, or Volkswagen a bit then the intercooler is equipment that you already considered getting in to keep the things cold, especially If you are seeking some extra horsepower.

If your car is turbocharged or supercharged then there are a few basic principles that you have to know.

In this article, we have tried to cover different kinds of intercoolers, their availability, and suitability as per your need.

Intercooler

It is as we know is a cross-flow heat exchanger that is designed to decrease the temperature of the inlet air of the car by streaming more air into the car’s engine.

By compressing an airflow before it gets to the engine, the intercooler very much lowers the engine’s detonation risk along with It also raises the cool air’s density that reflects in better power and performance.

Air-to-air Intercoolers

These seemingly the simplest one & most of the intercoolers comes in this bracket. They’re designed to have an inlet to use a colder airflow to cool a warm flow of turbocharged air before it gets engaged with the cylinders.

So, they dramatically increase the density of the air entering the cylinders and creates more power as the engine.

Additionally, they are more affordable, easy to install, and a lot easier to maintain than other types of intercoolers.

These intercoolers are further categorized into 2 kinds:

·         Top-mount intercoolers: Possibly, mounted on the front of the car radiator that increases their overall airflow exposure courtesy to their bigger surface area. So, they really make sense for sports cars.

·         Top-Mount Intercoolers: As the name suggests these are installed on the top side of the engine and cars that utilize this type of intercooler have a hood-scoop that feeds the intercooler fresh air while the car is in motion.

Air-to-water Intercoolers

These systems do follow the same ideas but are slightly more complicated especially during the placement phase. It can be placed anywhere but most of the manufacturers try to set it up close to the inlet manifold as possible.

How Much?

This is a question that ticks in the mind of all i.e. how much horsepower an intercooler will generate?

Most of them shoot for at least 70% efficiency through the outcome depends upon the number of factors like design, piping size, and the mounting method.

Another big factor is the shop and the quality of the technician’s capabilities.

Pro-tip: Car's with aspirated engines does not require an intercooler installation.

What to Expect When Paying for a Subaru Catalytic Converter?

Image
  Have you ever wondered why replacing a Subaru catalytic converter could cost you an arm and a leg? Chances are, you know how important it is to your car's emissions system. However, when the price tag makes you want to cry, you may be left wondering what's behind this apparently steep cost. So let's dig deeper into the conundrum of the costly replacement of this vital component. Understanding the Basics A catalytic converter is a highly important component of your Subaru's exhaust system. They work hard to reduce noxious emissions by converting bad gasses into less noxious ones before these leave your tailpipe. This way, they enable your car to meet strict environmental standards and maintain the air cleaner. You'll know your Subaru catalytic converter is bad when you notice a few signs coming in. The engine will run roughly, it can suffer from a drop in fuel efficiency, or the check engine light comes on. These are all signs that it's time to consider...

What Does a Cold-Air Intake Do, and Is It Worth It?

Cold air intake also abbreviated as CAI, is a performance enhancement modification that seek to enhance the ability of the engine in your vehicle by replacing the standard intake system with one drawing cooler air outside the engine bay. Source icon How it works: Cooler air is denser: Cold air supplies more oxygen molecules than hot air. More oxygen, more power: This is because the engine consumes more oxygen and oxygen increases the burning of fuel which in turn leads to generating of more power. Improved throttle response: The gained engine seems to respond faster to accelerator pedal commands. Is It Worth It? The enhancement efficiency of the cold air intake depends on the car model, and other changes and driving conditions as well. Potential Benefits: Slight increase in horsepower and torque: It can also give an imperceptible gain in power, especially higher revolutions per minute. Improved throttle response: The car can become more sensitive. Better engine sound: Some cold air ...
