10 if I am not mistaken. They included intercoolers in the count too...

Normally for turbo engines, which upgrade is more important for overall engine temperature. Radiator or intercooler?

Intercooler just to cool air for combustion only.......lol

To cool the compressed air from compressor. But if intercooler is inefficient, won't it increase engine temperature as well as reducing engine power output?

Hotter air will decrease engine power output but to cool the engine is very very minimal as it cools the combustion chamber only when air fuel goes in but does not cool the engine as a whole unlike radiator water where it runs inside the block taking away the heat....

So, to control cooling in turbo engines, radiator upgrade is more important than intercooler.... But too bad in most cases, what I see is the intercooler is placed in front of the radiator, blocking most of it from receiving direct fresh air... Some even upgrade to very large intercooler, but radiator still remains small.

got fan to suck air ...

Still not direct fresh air from outside. Already blocked by intercooler.

Unless using top mounted intercooler like Mini Cooper S, WRX STI, Hilux...

Some intercooler come with water sprayer. If I not mistaken.

Yes like Evo and WRX.

That is why some are just doing it wrong. Bigger intercooler does not mean more power, need bigger turbine also.....lol

Depends I guess. If the cooling from earlier intercooler is insufficient, then upgrading to a larger one might be beneficial. But if cooling is already good enough, not much point to increase the size of intercooler... And you add in more weight to the front of the car.

Yes exactly! Not so much about the weight but too big intercooler actually creates more turbo lag too! The reason why you often see people go to upgrade intercooler first is because that's the one they feel the improvement in power coz it makes the air intake cooler hence can make more power. On the other hand radiator sometimes is 2nd priority because they are to maintain reliability but not make extra power if the engine is still within normal temp.

Edit: btw tire tread becomes talking about cooling! Should talk in the other radiator tread huh?

Alignment lari again.........lol

Okay, maybe I start another thread. Intercooler and Radiator thread.

Sometimes, intercooler upgrade is good depending on what stock intercooler your car comes with. Like for example those tiny intercooler in 4G93T stock.. They look terrible, might as well use 4G63T intercooler... Or maybe those small top mount intercooler in RVR 4G63T...

Alignment lari again.........lol

GT Radial Champiro HPY not grippy enough to keep the thread alignment straight.

 

[sweelt]

Hahaha....ya agree. VR recommend Tyre not grip enough.
Sometime oversteer / understeer.
Aligment still a big problem...

Actually grip is good because I am using and my alignment no lari. You two alignment lari because not using GT Radial......hhahahhahahahaha
