[Mk2] [Turbo] Slightly mad I/C installation

[Bry]

Found this on Ebay in OZ,




All it needs is a Flux capacitor

[Quigonjay]

mad indeed
cant see it being that efficient though
seems he is just using the aerodynamics to suck the hot air out rather than having any actual air flow to it

Awesome dude! Rather have a phoenix power boot mount though.
Question i've often pondered: Does it matter if an intercooler gets wet? I.E
exposure to the elements like rain etc?

To a certain amount, I think it does. I know water is a better conductor of heat, but only when that water is being continously circulated and cooled as it would in a charge cooled system. If the water is left on the intercooler, would the water not act as an insulator against the air cooling?

Oh and yes, that's one mad intercooler

his car looks like a fookin tent, although having the i/c there would be handy in australia, it's just a big portable BBQ!!!
throw another shrimp on me intercooler mate!!!

if it was a problem, then nobody would run big open grille cars with front mount intercoolers.

[Tiny]

pair of spals behind that it be fine

Wetness makes it better! Mitsi and Subaru have intercooler water sprays on some of their Evos and Imprezas.

Surprised he managed to get that engineered(signed off and MOT'd) in Aus

Oh yeah

[EarL]

Is is me, but from the rear it looks like a truck...

[TUBBY-DEUCE]

it would look cool if it had a modded elise style engine lid with a roof scoop directing air to the IC.

[Harry]

Any reason why it won't work?

[fastgrant74]

I have often wondered if a long thin IC, under the rear spoiler would work....

Saw some kind of cooling radiator like that on one of the classic rally Audi's

[ashley]

Surely it will work, it's just a case of it could be so much more effecient if it had a direct airflow through it?
