an intercooler has no purpose when there is no forced induction
you could buy it, but there would be no point fitting it to the car
a little bit of physics for you.
when air is compressed, it heats up. the particles get closer together, there is more friction between them, and they heat up. this happens for turbos, superchargers, aircompressers, anything that compresses air.
thats where intercoolers come into play. the air is fed thru the front mount, or thru a water to air cooler, and its cooled down.
now, once again with physics, this cooling of the air will expand it a little. not back to normal pressures, but jsut a little. if you measured boost before and after teh intercooler, you would see a difference. a ver slight reduction by a few points of a psi
thats the point of an intercooler
on an N/A car, it has no advantage. in actual fact, it can make it worse, as the intake has a longer path
lol ricer!
just get an intake that looks like an intercooler...

fark they look ghetto!
lol hey! he wants an intercooler without a turbo...
atleast u know that airfilter thing would do something....
Ray, I know what I want for Xmas now... *hint hint* LoLz
a turbo or that weird CAI. lol
whichever one you can afford... LoL... preferably turbo... but again, beggars can't be choosers...
and it is pointless getting an intercooler and not having a turbo... defeats the purpose of having the damn thing...
Geez guys, poor bloke admits he's noob and still gets payed out. If he can't ask in the noob forum where can he?
Question answered.
eternityz: you should post up an intro in the intro section for us Adelaidians to meet you, nice Accord btw :)
Save up your money and get both the turbo and the intercooler at the same time.Quote:
