Intercoolers At Your Hand’s Reach
Intercooler exchanges the heat between two systems in an engine and thus maintains a constant temperature inside it. There are two types of intercoolers depending on the type of coolants used in them. Some of the intercoolers use air drawn from atmosphere as cooling agent; others use water stored in the system as the coolant.
The cooling action is very simple. Hot air from the turbo flows through the tubes of the intercooler. This heats up the tube. When a cooling agent like the air or water flows over the tubes, it absorbs the heat from the tubes and makes the air inside the tube cooler again. The heat thus drawn from the tubes is released to the atmosphere.

Let’s look at some of the latest models…
Alta Performance has come up with a hood scoop air diverter for the Mini cooper. The Alta Performance model is different from the fragile plastic unit from the factory – it is taller and wider, allowing more volume of air to flow to the intercooler. In situations when extremely high temperature is produced and maximum cooling is required, there is a special water spray jet system which sprays high pressure mists on the surface of the cooler, causing evaporation to happen very quickly effecting a faster cooling.
ARC front mount intercooler gives wider options in terms of its cooling action. ARC claims that its model is better than the factory product, which often is not fitted in a perfect position allowing the heat to concentrate inside the engine. ARC’s solution to this is a wider cooler with efficient pipe system. They provide all the accessories such as the hoses, pipes and necessary mounts in order to assure a perfect working system.
Greddy has got a wide range of intercoolers for a variety of models such as Honda Civic, Honda Prelude, Acura Integra, Mazda RX7, Mitsubishi EVO, etc.
To be safe on the roads, be with the right people – that is the advice from Vividracing.
