Hi i was wanting to install a intercooler on my vr statesman but i was wondering do you need it to be ethier supercharger or turbo charged. can you just install a intercooler with any mods? thanks damien

Assuming you are serious... ?

All you would do is add weight and extra restriction to your air intake. The air that you would be putting into an intercooler would be no cooler than the air coming out = pointless.

Plus - how are you going to pump air into the intercooler?

Other than that - great idea :confused:

i was thinking of rerouting my cold air intake so the force of the incoming air would help it through the intercooler.

Save yourself the hassle mate and get an electric supercharger off ebay,they're only about 14 bucks each....i think they recommend 2 for a v8 though :lol:

mate, its do-able but you will probably end up with a restriction. So when you have this nice cool air (if you get hot air for heat soak) it means that the engine will be under vacuum at WOT instead of being at barometric.

You can put water injection on a stock motor but really its a waste of time. It can help to make it normal temps but the costs per gain is a waste of time. They put water injection and intercoolers on turbos/blowers because when you compress air it gets hot (ever put your finger over a bike pump end when you pump it, hot right?).

suck up Bloo :rofl:

the air going through the front of the car and passing through the cooler is the same temp as the air being drawn through the internal side of the cooler, so your actually not cooling anything.
