water cooled intercoolers

(1/3) > >>

colintandy:
anyone running anythink like a water cooled intercooler was thinking of making a kit up from some tubing and a pump from a water bottle washer pump and could probably get a temp sensor from rs to indicate when to spray front of intercooler with cold water or maybe run some nitros through it and freeze the intercooler  :D  am i going mad  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

TimM:
No not mad.....  :wink:

These are both tried and tested methods of making cars quicker, so why shouldn't they work with 4x4's.

arightpest has fitted a fan onto the back of his intercooler (he has a 200Tdi Discovery) and he is convinced that improved his performance.

Good Luck (and keep us posted!)

 :D

EvilEd:
Pajero's have a fan on the intercooler as standard.....

Xtremeteam:
Nos, Pffft way to expensive


all you need & i gurantee this does the same job for a fraction of the price,doesnt look as cool but it works is a Co2 fire extinguisher  :wink: spray that on to freeeze the intercooler or make up some pipe work with a nozzle on the endo to spray the intercooler,if you watch any american street class drag racing watch the blown honda boys as they do that before a run,freeze the cooler & away you go

I thought about rigging up one some of these Peltier thermo electric cooler modules in the pipe out of the intercooler, a 70°C temp drop should have an effect!

Peltier thermo electric cooler modules
Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) are solid state heat pumps that utilise the Peltier effect. Their operation involves applying a DC current to the TEC causing heat to be transferred from one side of the TEC to the other, creating a cold and hot side.
A single-stage TEC can achieve temperature differences up to 70°C, and can transfer heat at high rates of power (W). Four different cooling capacities are available in the range.
