    SuperCharger and intercoolers.

    I like the name TurboDodge. This thing started over a discussion about Supercharging a 1st Gen 3.5 Liter from an LH body. I know someone who is building the engine, but not for an LH. He is designing it for a customer who wants to patent the idea so he is being quiet about specifics, but he...

    All well know points. I guess I am not associating heat generation with Supercharging. 5-15 PSI doesn't seem to be enough compression to create a significant amount of heat. I had always thought that the Intercooler was developed to reduce heat from turbos because of the Exhaust temp. Cooler...

    Hello, all; I am new to the forum, which I found while searching for an answer to a minor question. I am hoping that someone here could help with the question. Is there any advantage to the use of an Intercooler with a Centrifugal type Super Charger? I would think that any gains you may...
