    Intercooler Modification

    Thought I'd post this up to give others some info on cooling the charge down more efficiently with a tall intercooler. The one I have has a core size of 600x300x75

    Whilst I've had my car off road sorting out head gasket failure I've been working on some intake and exhaust performance mods. One of them is on the intercooler, I've cut it open and put in a baffle.. this directs the charge air to both halfs of the intercooler. Without this the charge air flow losses increase.. the air tries to take the easier path through the lower passages, flows faster and pulls out less heat.

    Just need to get the baffle tacked in and the cover welded up then hope I see some benefits

    Got this modification from the Graham Bell book 'Forced Induction Performance Tuning'
