How intercoolers work. Air-to-air intercooler vs air-to-water intercooler. Bar and plate vs. tube and fin. Intercoolers are used to cool the intake charge of forced induction engines. By cooling the ...

Since it was founded in 2003 and acquired by Valnet in 2022, TopSpeed has become the ultimate destination for both enthusiasts and consumers looking to explore the latest breakthroughs in gas-powered ...

Excess heat is the enemy when it comes to internal combustion engines. Operating temperature is ideal, but any degree above that starts to slowly sap power, put fluids to the test, increase friction, ...

, any increase in boost pressure also increases the temperature of the air entering the engine. This is far from ideal, as it reduces the density of the air. This then means that less oxygen is ...

A supercharger—such as a turbo—compresses air. Compressing air heats it. Heating air makes it expand. This is a Catch 22 inherent in supercharging. So rather than thinking of quantities of air in ...

Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has released a new liquid to air intercooler intake manifold for turbocharger and centrifugal supercharger setups on 2014-2015 C7 Corvette Stingray. The tuning ...

They say racing provides a trickle-down effect of technology from the racetrack to the street. Advancements made in the harsh racing enviroment help push product development, and that holds true from ...

We probably should have found another car to test DEI's Cry02 Cryogenic Intercooler Sprayer on. Project Eclipse is finicky. Actually we're being a bit too kind; it's more of a two-steps-forward, ...
