c250d Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | 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. | ||

EDIT: Also, radiators will not work for intercoolers. They are designed for water and will be restrictive for high CFM air-flow. Edited by ForcedInduction 1/6/2007 3:26 AM | ||
