maybe2fast Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I was thinkin cold air is good...If I were to put an intercooler on the Lumina and hook the intake directly to it, of course put a filter on the intercooler and have a big cold air intake (an intercooled N/A 3.1) what do you guys think?

slick Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 You may gain .00000002849824823 HP, and thats about it. Plus, then we would have to call it an interfooler. Would go great with your carbon fiber hood!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 you'd prolly lose HP from an intercooler on a n/a setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe2fast Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 why would there be a loss? I was just thinkin that would be a cool different CAI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING JOKER Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 doesnt work. my friend got a new intercooler and gave me the one that he got off of an old saab and it didn't do anything for me but make it seem like i was loosing horsepower. the inetercooler was the way you wanted to set up yours. tryed it about a year ago and found the best solution to a cai is to make your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitcor Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 intercooler on an NA car = excessive restriction of Air why does it not resctrict air on a boosted car? becasue its pressurized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess with that, a caron fiber hood, and maybe a short shifter for your automatic we can call it a Z31.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian P Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 If you really want to add an intercooler to a car, why not get a GTP and do it to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 there is a pressure drop across any intercooler, and if the intake isn't pressurized to begin with (like a NA engine) it will only restrict airflow. it probably wouldn't do anything to cool the air inlet temp below ambient underhood temperatures anyway. a turbocharged engine needs an intercooler because the air is heated as it is compressed, besides the fact that the half the turbo is part of the exhaust system and the air will pick up heat from that alone anyway.
