200tdi without an intercooler

(1/2) > >>

ian_s:
what would happen if i ran my 200tdi without an intercooler?
i got a problem with mounting the standard one, and until i can source a replacement, i want to plump the turbo straight onto the inlet manifold

i know basically what will happen, the air getting to the cylinders will be hotter and less dense, meaning less oxygen in there so possibly it will overfuel, but what other consequences might there be?
I'm not going to cover any distance at all, its not even going for an MOT til i got an intercooler, i just want the vehicle capable of moving under its own power

Cheers
Ian

The world as we know it will come to end if you do this.....

 :wink:

Will be fine the short term....  and in the long term if you turned the pump down a bit - would just be low on power.

It will happily run without any intake or intercooler pipework, it will even run with the inlet manifold open to atmosphere (i.e. nothing connected up)

thanks
i think i'll go with that for now :)
rather than bothering getting a pipe to loop round

I've been running my 200Tdi without pipework just to move the motor about and it seems fine.  Take care to make sure nothing gets into the turbo inlet other than air though.

extreme90:
or nuffing goes into the inlet manifold  :shock:
its bad practice to move it around with no pipe work on, yes it is ok and no damage will be done, but ull be kicking yourself when it sucks a bag or something that is waddling about under the bonnet in, try putting your hand infront of the inlet and see just how much suction its got
