Intercooler V. water injection?
 
what would be better for lowering EGT's, seems like an intercooler is deff, install and forget, but i was just wondering for the sake of conversation

Intercooler as it doesn't require water/meth all the time. Cooler dense air all time is better then flipping the switch as with meth. Allthough later down the road with big injectors and all the fun stuff water meth has good advantages.:tu:

Definitely do an intercooler first. If you need more cooling, water/meth systems are great. :c:

Oh, im not really considering doing either at the moment, just thinking, so id thought id think out loud

Do you get better milage with an intercooler?

Nothing you're going to notice... You will lose a few lbs of boost.

Read his question/statement carefully. No one has answered his question yet. If a may rephrase: Which would lower the egt's more?

Obviously, you should go with the intercooler first and he has as much as said so.

I personally do not know the answer... but I'd like to.

Intercooler will do it all the time. Water/Meth will do it when you need it... Usually it's fixed with your boost..

I guess it would be interesting to have somebody do a comparison. It would be a lot of work though I would think...

Re read my answer it was answered in the first word. Intercooler.

You absolutely did not. If there had been a period following the word "Intercooler" with out the irrelivant explanation, then it would have been an answer.

He wants to know which will cool more. Obviously, the water/ meth would have to be turned on during the comparison. As far as that goes, it would have to have water/meth in the system. Maybe we should also stipulate that the water/meth has to be injected into the intake as apposed to the fuel tank, or the atmosphere, or the shock absorbers.

Your answer, says an intercooler is better because it doesn't require water/meth all the time. I will agree with this statement, but it did not answer the question as posed. The question is which would be better at lowering egt's. (lowest temperature wins)

97dieselnewb 03-17-2011 03:47 PM

Exactly and yes in the intake, haha

But before it starts let's keep this civil, it's just civil Internet conversation if any one gets the urge to instigate a pissing match don't do it here
