Twintercoolers, i dont understand

[HedgeyGedgey]

Can someone explain why these are thing? I don't understand the theory of running the oem intercooler them adding another front mount intercooler. Running 2 intercoolers is surely just added weight

But thermodynamics dont work like that? Just fit 1 larger cooler

Yeh suppose, intercoolers are a fine art. Doesn't make sense in my mind why anyone would block one intercooler by another, i get the thickness makes it more efficient. Have a 5inch thick cooler in the shed bloody massive thing rated to 1200hp+ but that will generate so much lag due to the size. So would the twintercooler setup be similar creating lag?

[HedgeyGedgey]

My understanding is like you say, length of pipework and size as well. 3inch piping isnt needed till silly power levels, a big intercooler takes longer to fill with the pressurised air. Debating whether to email forge asking what the benifits are lol

I get the different designs of coolers, pressure drop from inlet to outlet etc. I disagree on brands, shouldn't just buy one intercooler over another because of the brand. The one in the shed has no brand, theres no markings on it at all. Its done 900bhp on an evo, tested to over 4bar pressure with little pressure drop, it cost £50 altogether. But this threads not about brands
