I used to work for a company that made custom intercoolers for racing applications. From an engineering perspective, it was pretty interesting work. I worked on development of the systems they made for the Mazda miatas. It seems like a simple device. But getting it right is extremely complicated. It's a delicate balance between maximizing heat transfer while maintaining boost. You're going to lose boost pressure with any intercooler. So the net gain of the heat transfer (cooling of the air) has to surpass the loss of boost pressure. This is why pairing the right cooler with your turbo is so important. 💨
Great video. Very informative for the ignorant such as myself. Considering I’m spending a fair amount for upgrades on my B8, I have a better understanding.
The air doesn't travel in straight path from left side of intercooler to the right side of the intercooler like you were showing. The air travel through thin copper or aluminium pipe from left to right in zigzag way. The larger the intercooler the longer is the pipe inside the intercooler. The air gets cooler the More distance it travel down the pipe.
milanmastracci So what should I install first, Turbo or the intercooler? Thanks man for replying! Nice vids! Hope you push through with the intercooler installation vid.
Mike Honda Boy I had the same question as well and found the answer here. Im assuming you've found your answer by now but Id say they should be installed about the same time. Bc you dont want the turbo on the car without a way to cool the air down, but an intercooler by itself doesnt really do anything. The intercooler needs to connect to the turbo, so Id say buy them in any order you like but install them at the same time
I have a stock car with only a catback exhaust, I have a fmic I want to install, with a bov. Will it require a tune after I install it? I’ve heard a tune isn’t necessary, I will just have a little more lag. Is someone able to confirm or deny this for me?
so the intercooler doesnt suck any air, air just passes thru from what the intake is sucking to the turbo and the cylinders right? the reason i ask i live in a place where when it rains it floods somewhat nd i dont want to damage my engine if water gets up to the intercooler.. thanks in advance..
The air doesn't go through the holey parts. It goes through the piping between the holey parts. Well, it does but not the air we'd need for the turbo. Makes any sense?
You have both the intake and exhaust system coming together at the turbo. The gasses are separate, however both of them travel through. Once I go Big turbo, i'll explain in detail how they work :)
Hey why should we use intercooler why don't we connect the turbo charger directly to the inlet manifold because if the air is hot then no need to compress more to burn isn't it ?
Your ECU will limit the amount of fuel injected into the cylinders to prevent premature ignition(backfiring), but if you cool off the intake, the ECU will let the fuel flow full blast.
I did a while back lol I just never put it on camera ahah Its pretty similar to automotive stuff. I had to replace a few of the ball joints, the drum brakes all around and then had to bleed them.
i know u made this video 3 years ago but i have one question. i thought that the coolant went through the intercooler and not air? does the air AND coolant together going through the intercooler?? i hope u answer but i think its too late
hello milan :) awesome videos! i have a question, i own a bmw 2 liter turbo diesel, and a few months ago i hit a rabbit on highway (RIP rabbit) and it broke my bumper and bend my intercooler a little, there is no leak. but i want to buy another one from used parts, should i buy the bigger one for 2.5 liter, or even 3 liter version of my same car, they should probably fit perfect. thanks !
@@bogdananghel9480 put it, bigger intercooler beter cooling...when you do performance setup in official bmw they upgrade from 330d on your 320d...m performance kit
milanmastracci Well I hope nothing goes wrong with yours, but I kinda do for that video haha. It's because I noticed a rattle coming from my car and I can now see my compressor shaking while my A/C is on or off
Adam R yo! Lol That's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this video. Infact as soon as I looked at the title my mind read it in Arnie's voice.
Because they are a very good platform for other modifications, there is a large aftermarket market for car parts, and they're fairly light, with a decent amount of power. Remove more weight and add more power, and you have a recipe for a good time :)
I like mini's, personnaly I have put a lot of money in fy fiat punto, its the fun of building and having the finished product :) Not neccesarily have loads of hp or be expensive, no offence to your project tho. Every one has their opinions I gues

Thank you didn’t know that
IF THIS VIDEO GETS 10K VIEWS BY TOMORROW, I'LL THROW UP THE INSTALLATION OF THE INTERCOOLER AND NEW SILICONE PIPING :) SHARE SHARE SHARE!!!
milanmastracci Hi, what's your phone number??
Raju Ar what would he give his phone number to a stranger from the UA-cam comments?
Creepo :D
I'm very excited to view the installation:)
Doneeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Wow you explained this so well. I learned so much.
Very well spoken. Clear explanation and informative.
Just had that "ah ha!" moment. Great video bro!
A tube between the turbo output and intercooler hot side broke in my van, nice to understand what's happening and realizing what the noises mean.
the intercooler explanation video was very helpful and informative, thanx
Awesome video helped allot very educational thank you
Stickers add more HP tho
KFC Bucket no
+69Hp
killing it with the videos in winter break! keep it up.
Great video. Very informative for the ignorant such as myself. Considering I’m spending a fair amount for upgrades on my B8, I have a better understanding.
Loving this series with the JCW!
great video, thanks. Was trying to explain this over text to a friend.
I’ve had a duramax since 03 and never really knew why it needed to cool the air, you explained it perfectly, thanks
Great video, thanks for the info
Awesome show 👏..
Glad you enjoyed it
Do have to upgrade the fuel injectors when u upgrade to a front mount intercooler?
Does it make any special noises after you install the new intercooler? Like performance wise
You have definitely come along way bro, congrats on almost 100k subs. Been watching you when you had 8k subs

The air travel through thin copper or aluminium pipe from left to right in zigzag way. The larger the intercooler the longer is the pipe inside the intercooler.

Great job young man
Will I have any problems owning a same year Cooper ( clubman S) with compressor intercooler turbo IN COLD MONTANA WINTERS??
What affect on the temperature gauge in the car would i see?
Great explanation, thank you...
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, do you use any silicone to make it more tied ? when fitting new pipe to intercooler
Does the intercooler have any impact on the radiator?
A very informative video.
what is the difference between turbo engine with intercooler and with out intercooler.
Well explained.
Great place for your shop vac hose while explaining the hose routing lol.
this vid helped me a lot thanks man
Cheers bud :) Tomorrow i'll be throwing up the video on how to install it on the car with new piping :)
I'll be looking foward on viewing the video. All videos are great man.
hi, is it make a difference if you install an intercooler but you don't have turbo yet? HP wise, thanks,!
You MIGHT see a small difference, but it wouldn't be a worthy modification unless you're boosted. Good question :)

Nice vídeo and a realy important update from the car!
Thanks bud :)
Thank you very much!! I understand now!!!
What happens if u install a aftermarket intercooler on a turbo stock car with NO TUNE?
Would you recommend a remap after installing an intake and a larger intercooler?
Yes that would be a very good idea :)
so the intercooler doesnt suck any air, air just passes thru from what the intake is sucking to the turbo and the cylinders right? the reason i ask i live in a place where when it rains it floods somewhat nd i dont want to damage my engine if water gets up to the intercooler.. thanks in advance..
Intercooler and piping should be a sealed system. No water will get into it from puddles through the intercooler.
So you can see through, but it does not leak. Can someone explain me how?
The air doesn't go through the holey parts. It goes through the piping between the holey parts. Well, it does but not the air we'd need for the turbo. Makes any sense?
The condensed hot air flows through the piping, as "natural air" (best way to describe it) flows through the holey parts, hitting the piping.
Hi please i need intrcooler crv dasial 2009 ?
are you getting a custom tune?
Does Anybody know what the Outro song is called?
I like this video
Thanks mate :)
Where can I purchase that same one I hav got for my r56
How come intercoolers don't use fans to help cool the air when stopped?
That would help at times, but would be more complexity for little gains. When you're tracking your car, you usually don't come to a full stop
Well done!
2k subs more and you're at 100k subs. Congrats in advance!!
Thanks buddy!! :) Almost there
If I just install aftermarket intercooler piping, do I need to tune my car?
No, you should be fine 👍
Does it matter which side the air go thru the inter cooler? Does it matter which side of the intercooler facing?
Nope!! As long as the air goes from one end to the other on the inside, and is exposed to oncoming air from the bumper area, it will work.
air from the intake goes into the turbo??? I thought exhaust gases spinning the turbo compressor...🤔
You have both the intake and exhaust system coming together at the turbo. The gasses are separate, however both of them travel through. Once I go Big turbo, i'll explain in detail how they work :)
milanmastracci ohh yea yea yea. I mistaken the intake for the throttle body.
Hey why should we use intercooler why don't we connect the turbo charger directly to the inlet manifold because if the air is hot then no need to compress more to burn isn't it ?
Your ECU will limit the amount of fuel injected into the cylinders to prevent premature ignition(backfiring), but if you cool off the intake, the ECU will let the fuel flow full blast.
intercooler does is just to give more power or o giving protection to your turbo engine
Hey Milan you should work on the ATV that is on ur garage
I did a while back lol I just never put it on camera ahah
Its pretty similar to automotive stuff. I had to replace a few of the ball joints, the drum brakes all around and then had to bleed them.

we need video for skoda octavia 2006 FSI 2.0
Unfortunately Kinan where I live, Skoda's aren't sold here
milanmastracci :(
milanmastracci i like your video so much hopefully find or see skoda in your area :)
Great video dude. Very informative and easy to follow. Good job. 👍🏻👍🏻
You go boy
I’m surprised someone hasn’t came up with a way to convert the AC in the car to go directly to super cool the intercooler.
Nice dude
can I turbocharged my not Turbo car
Bobby.blush depends on compression ratio and engine.
There is no universal answer.
Blakeracer r okay thanks bro
What car?
Thanks!
shared. keep up the good work
Thanks buddy!! :)

Less than 2k to go :)
finally my notification works again 😅😅
Cool 😎
How the intercooler connected to engine and turbocharger
How to Clean if oil in there
That's why I came here... hoping to figure out why I have oil stains on my fins.
Helpful bro #Love u 😍

Where did you learn how to work on vehicles?
By working on them :) I also took an automotive program for 32 weeks, where I learned a little bit about everything
perfect video. :)
Announce in a future video of hangouts and car meets you plan to attend! I would love to meet you as I'm just from Niagara Falls, ON
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VID OF HOW TO REPLACE THE A/C COMPRESSOR ON THE 2011 ACCORD PLEASE!!!!!!
If mine goes to crap, i'd be more than happy to :)

Hi Milan !!
I love how you say out lol😂
OUUUUUUUT :)
ha ha that made me laugh 😆👍

say *out* one more time, I dare you
Muh Har I never heard him say that once
Project DIY you don't get it, do you?
Muh Har no
Lol, when you have 20 degree air and boost it by 20 psi, it will be over 100 celcius, not 30-35.
Looks like a Ebay part
