Power
and torque of an engine are directly proportional
to the amount of air entering the combustion chamber
if mixed with the right amount of fuel. |
By lowering the charge air temperature with an
intercooler it results in a higher mass of air entering the combustion chamber. |
This will
give an increase in power and torque if the vehicle
is tuned correctly. |
A good intercooler package
can increase the power by as much as 30% when fitted to a non-intercooled turbo vehicle. |
 |
|
| Better
fuel consumption |
An
intercooled vehicle will always outperform the
same non-intercooled vehicle in the fuel consumption
stakes. |
|
The reason
being better efficiency caused
by extra power and torque for the same engine
capacity and lower operating temperatures that
will result in less friction. |
|
|
| Improved Reliability |
Intercooling
will cool down the charge air and will result
in cooler exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). |
The
most common areas affected by high exhaust gas
temperatures on turbo charged vehicles are - turbos,
cylinder heads and pistons. |
Intercooling will
result in lower operating temperatures for turbos as well as cylinder heads and pistons.
|
A Intercooler will help keep all engine components
at a stable temperature and intercooling
is one of the best ways to prevent turbo failures. |

| Why
use a SAC fitment centre? |
The
SAC Group use Dastek Power coolers which have
been carefully researched and designed to offer
the best efficiency, repeatability and value for money. |
