[QUOTE]Originally posted by 93PONY: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by st5150: [qb]Come on guys, everyone knows that a 10 psi S trim car will LOSE HP if ALL you do is add an intercooler. Give all the false tech you want against this, but you can't agrue with results. Rob- your example is flawed. The simple equation you setup assumes only one variable changes. If this was the case, I'd agree with you and your simple mathmatical model would hold true. In reality, an intercooler drops both temprature AND pressure (boost). This makes your mathmatical model more complicated and also useless with out real world data/numbers to plug into the equation. Some random food for though: the gas and air are ignited into a hot FLAME well over 1,000 degrees F :eek: 93pony- "The pressure drop from the intercooler/aftercooler is due to less heat...thus the air is denser. No power loss will be seen from the drop in pressure." :bsflag: Sounds like shady corral tech to me (read my new signature). I can prove your statement wrong with straight equations or real world examples, your pick. As a gentleman, I'm letting you pick how I knott your noose ;) j/k Now here is your mission, go to [URL=http://www.yahoo.com]www.yahoo.com[/URL] and find the one guy out in cyberspace raceway that refutes what I said above ;) [/qb][/QUOTE]With ONLY installing the intercooler you WILL gain power. The blower is still pumping out the exact same amount of air as it was before....& the engine is ingesting the same MASS of air....it's just cooler & thus more dense. Here's the only thing. If you run an intercooler that's a bit small for the mass of air running through it, the air BEFORE the intercooler will have a higher pressure (higher boost) then before & will be hotter then the air was without the intercooler. Follow me? So, the intercooler needs to work harder to cool the air...if it is not very effecient & the cooler is too small, the air coming out to the motor will not be much cooler + they're be a substantial pressure drop. This will definately cause the power to drop. Slap on the right size Spearco & watch power jump....with less boost. It's all about the cooler you use. Ah yes. You also pointed out another benifit to the Incon setup (or any turbo for that mater). No pulley change needed. The wastegates open when manifold pressure reaches a certain PSI. A cooler charge will make GOBS more power as the mass of air also increases....unlike a SC unless the pulley is changed. :p [/QB][/QUOTE]
