In forced induction systems, such as turbochargers and superchargers, compressing air increases its temperature. However, cooler air is denser and contains more oxygen, which is vital for your engine's combustion process. Consequently, hot air has a lower oxygen content. This potential loss of oxygen can limit the overall power output of your vehicle. To combat this issue, almost all forced induction cars come equipped with an intercooler. An intercooler functions as an air-to-air radiator that cools compressed air back down before it enters the engine. While factory intercoolers are suitable for stock engines, they may not meet the requirements of a tuned engine.
Upgrading to a high-performance intercooler offers numerous advantages. Not only does it unlock hidden power from your existing engine, but it also future-proofs your car for further upgrades. Many engines exhibit noticeable power improvements just by switching to a larger or more efficient core. Even stock tunes and setups benefit from a cooler air supply. Your engine performance will be similar to that of a crisp winter morning, consistently.
Moreover, maintaining consistent intake temperatures is beneficial as the engine heats up. Previously, power output would decrease as the engine temperature rose. A high-quality intercooler helps mitigate this issue, reducing or even eliminating the adverse effects of heat on power delivery.
A Mishimoto performance intercooler is an excellent supporting modification for other tuning upgrades. As power increases, so does heat production. This upgrade helps manage heat and delivers consistent performance, providing a solid foundation for further modifications. Mishimoto's reputation in drift competition underscores their expertise in dealing with high-power turbocharged engines, giving you peace of mind when investing in their products.
