I need to know that too. But not the bridging one. The one to the right that I think is the return.

Front Mount Intercooler In A N/a Worth It?
htial replied to foxy boxy's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
My interest in this thread was initially as a bit of a lark. "Intercooler on and N/A, haha". But you have really got me interested now. And that's why I'm asking the questions I'm asking. You've presented a setup that is a little unusual and yes, my first response is that it doesn't make sense. But I hope by asking the questions I'm asking, I'll get a better understanding of how you came up with this setup and why you went with it. After all. Isn't that why we're all here. To learn and educate each other on the cars we love? -

I made the bet... ...he never went through with it... I guess I'm still having trouble understanding why you're adding more restriction on the intake. I had a HQ Panel Van with a 308 putting out almost 400hp and it was always my understanding that the more air the N/A could suck in the better. Get out on the highway doing more than 80kmh and the bonnet scoop would put the positive pressure on the intake. The pics of the orange car don't show how positive pressure could be applied to the intake. The pod is just hanging there. If air takes the path of least resistance, then it's just going to flow around the pod and straight under the car. There is no scoop to direct the air into the pod. -

If the first TB has to be forced open, and the second TB is connected to the accelerator, when you press the accelerator you're going to get negative pressure between the to TBs. I understand that with a big enough scoop and enough speed you'll get the pressure before the first TB. But until then I still don't see the point. -

I still can't see how the system gets ANY positive pressure. -

I always thought the reason for an intercooler was to reduce the temp of the compressed air because the process of compressing it causes the air to heat up. Because there is no compresson in a N/A there is no need for an intercooler. Wouldn't a bonnet scoop directing cool air at the air filter be a better way? -

Hahaha... ...This thread is awesome... What colour are your GT badges on the front 1/4s? That's also a good sign to tell if it's a factory N/A.
