Show off your intercooler and plumbing

forced 340 said

well i have a water to air system on my dart. i made a 7 gallon tank, the innercooler rated for 1200 hp., i converted a ford f-450 trans cooler into a heat exchanger that i mounted under the trunk where the gas tank was. it also has daul spal fans on it. i never have to add water and i only use ice when i really want to beat on it (i.e. the track or dyno..). i drive the car on the street when its 30deg or 110deg outside! it always runs the same. i will try to post some pics later if you want.

Doesn't look like anyone else asked, so I guess I will. I'd love to see some pictures!

I know it's only little 2.2 FWD cars, but I've owned one with an intercooler and one without. After owning both, I swore I would never build a turbo car without an intercooler, it just made that much of a difference. I'm not talking performance, either. The non-intercooled one made much less power, but more importantly, it was very sensitive to knock. I had to be careful not to lean into it pulling a hill or it would rattle, while the T2 car just pulled and never seemed to have a problem. Just my 2 cents, but mad boost or not, I wouldn't run a car without an intercooler if I could help it.
