ok i did a bit of a search for a friend of mine who has just bought an NA r32 but found nothing, he asked me if it would be a good idea or even possible to buy an intercooler, block one of the end tanks off and have the other side replacing the pod filter, now iv never really thought of this and thought it was quit funny of him to ask, so ye just tryna get some info on this lol

What did he think it was going to do?

How the hell would this work? if you block one end off. then the other attached to the intake you would be trying to suck the inside of the cooler. = no air flow?

or am i looking at this wrong. :(

Thats what i was thinking... maybe they dont know how intercoolers work... maybe they think that they suck air in from the front... right right.

You can actually buy air filters that are made to look like FMIC, saw one on a lancer. Don't know what you'd do if it rains though.

talking to him today, i think thats were he got the idea from, he saw a na civic with what looked like an intercooler, when he saw that he came to the conclusion that, thats what the guy was doing, however just searching ebay i found what appeared to be a small intercooler which is actually not an intercooler :(

Ahh but what if you had a pod filter on one end of an intercooler and then run the other end to the engine's inlet and just before you're ready to drag race, you release the spray of liquid nitrogen onto the intercooler chilling it to reduce the intake temps ??? Huh, huh ?? Reverse intercooling !! :nuke::(

Yeah get him to do it.. Then take pics so we can laugh. Explain to him that he will need to install a NOS spray system as intercoolers can only cool air ambient temp. Better yet add an electronic supercharger between the pod and inlet of the cooler, then an electric BOV... Now that would be hectic, and he could say his car runs NOS!

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
