intercooler add on for non turbo?

Got a pare small alluminium bike radiator in the garage would it be worth trying to fit this as an intercooler in some way to a naturally aspirated c250d or any non turbo diesel for that matter as every intercooled diesel you see is always a turbo? Am i wasting my time or would there be a performance gain as engines always prefer cool air espaecially diesels or so im told, let me know your views people as im looking for any feedback.

RE: intercooler add on for non turbo?

There is no need for an intercooler on a non-turbo engine. The air is not heated before it enters the engine so there is nothing to cool.

 

EDIT: Also, radiators will not work for intercoolers. They are designed for water and will be restrictive for high CFM air-flow.
