Does anyone know what kind of gains you get by putting an intercooler on a 4 cyl non turbo application? And would you need the turbo exhuast manifold to complete this task?..any help would be sweet tits cause I really can't picture how the intercooler would give any signif gains without a turbo feeding it.

intercoolers are for turbo applications only, if you had one and could back it up with no turbo then u will get laughed at. get either a cold air intake, or the arospeed front mount intake

:screwy: I dont know which is worse : non-funtional intercooler or that aerospeed goofy air filter in a clear box.

An intercooler doesn't do anything on a N/A motor because there is no turbo/supercharger to heat up the air. All it will do is be a restriction in your inlet.

lol...I made the assumption that it couldn't be done. Thanks guys for the info...I was wondering though if I was going turbo if that could be set up first...purchase the intercooler and the exhaust manifold. Or does it all have to be assembled at once? Thanks again

sure you could purchase the manifold & intercooler berfore all the other parts. Just dont install them :shakehead

lol...I guess I should just do it that way...I am just so damn impatient. Just metal and motor right now, all I need is the power to make it a bad bitch. I will just smoke a cig like one of the standard smilies until I can get all the parts I need. :smokin:
