Several people have inquired in the past about Twin Turbo. More recently it was discussed that a Twin Turbo setup on a four-cylinder is completely pointless. We all know that turbo's create unwanted heat. I had the idea, while sitting in class today, of a Twin Intercooled engine. I don't know if anyone has ever done it, but I'd like to ask about it.
We all know that the 3S-GTE has a Top Mount Intercooler. I've read threads about putting a FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler) on a 3S-GTE engine. People have said it is possible, but it would need custom piping. So, this brought about the idea of a Twin Intercooled engine. I figured if a person could mount a FMIC on a 3S-GTE (with custom piping of course), then why couldn't they simply connect it to the TMIC and have double the cooled air charge. I figure it would keep a high-powered engine MUCH cooler than normal. I also figured it was possible since there isn't a FMIC stock with the 3S-GTE engine, therefore there is the space to do it with. Get back to me, people! I appreciate all who contribute! This post has been edited by Inferno: Oct 8, 2003 - 6:08 PM |

You gotta realize that the GT4 was a rally champion and whoever thinks the TMIC is pointless and useless and a bad idea, doesnt kno. The way the GT4's were produced provided plenty of cold air, and yes the FMIC is away from the engine and thus cooler, but it also provides more turbo lag. You gotta pump air throught the front of the car, with the TMIC its connected to the turbo and throttle body. Your getting air quicker and its having less time to heat up. By the time the air from the FMIC gets to the throttle body, its probably pretty close to the same temperature.
Also, the engines dont cool from air, thats there so you have a lil thing called combustion. The COOLANT cools the engine and thats why your big radiator is in the front of the car. Same concept on the ST205 IC which is both water and air cooled. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Oct 9, 2003 - 1:00 PM -------------------- |
