An intercooler cools air that’s been compressed by a supercharger or turbocharger before it enters a vehicle's engine. The laws of thermodynamics mean that compressing air necessarily heats it up. But ...

ProCharger and Scoggin Dickey Parts Center reveal the testing results of a new low-profile air-to-water intercooler intake manifold for LT engines. The texting acronym IRL commonly stands for “in real ...

Heat is the enemy. It’s been the enemy since the very first internal combustion engine fired up well over 150 years ago, and will continue to be the enemy for, well, forever. This isn’t an engineering ...

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, ...

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 ...
