Turbo Charged Air Temps
Discussion
I've recently put together, with the help of a machine shop, a new 2L turbo forged engine. I'm now driving the car with the standard turbo, but I'm starting to think about cooling the charged air in readiness for a bigger turbo. what i'd like to get opinions on is, how cooler does a bigger turbo blow compared to a smaller one. I've not really explained this very well, but is the charged air noticeably cooler with the bigger turbo at the same psi as the smaller one. thanks.
Ok, I have a turbo engine that uses a charge cooler setup. My tuner guy tells me that the charge cooler setup is now struggling to cope with the inlet temps from my small standard turbo, It's maxing out at 1.1bar, 285hp. As I'm about to fit a bigger turbo, it got me thinking, would it blow a little bit cooler as it did'int have to work as hard, and allow me to keep the charge cooler setup I already have. I'll find this out myself by trying it.
