yea the Intercooler is like a radiator for the air, i think thats a good way to describe it

 

how does the intercooler cool air?

 

how could you do so many installs and not figure this out? [sm=owned.gif]

 

the air compressed but the turbo charger is heated a little cuz its compressed and cuz the turbo is a hot little bitch, the air passes through the intercooler and it cools it just like a radiator cools water, the outside air is colder and is flowing through the fins of the ic and then the air goes out and into the motor




here is some subaru guys description.... The intake air passes in through the airfilter, from here it travels into the turbo compressor (the alloy part) here the intake air is compressed (to a "boosted level") and pumped into the intercooler. When the air is compressed it gets hot, (not from the hot turbo) but due to when all air is compressed it gets hot. The intercooler (air to air) on the WRX uses cold air from the bonnet scoop passing through the fins to cool the hot inlet air that is passing through the other (inside part) of the intercooler. The inlet air gives off heat to the cooling air. The cold air allows a more dense inlet charge to pass through the throttle body

 

jesus christ... what do you think your intake does?

 

wait wait wait that makes me look like a retard and i didnt say that, i was the one doing the explaining

 

i knew my intake sucks in air...idk why but for 3 years ive thought they worked a bit different...but it all makes a lot more sense now, lol

 

hahah your right my bad..i deleted the wrong name.. lol *fixed

 

well good thing you did it now or you could have been in some serious trouble, lol oh wait you have a 2.8 12v you dont have a turbo, lol jk i know i know the wrecks is turbo

 

lol ya if i wouldnt have fixed that before the regulars woke up.. it would have been over for ya..

you and ateurv8 would be wearing matching these
