Intercoolers!

[JesterMasque]

I don't got A/C or power steering so I got ALOT of room in my engine bay. I got a 95 Civic DX. How exactly does an intercooler work and could it add hp to my car or does it only do good if I got turbo? How much would a beginners upgrade cost? Thanks...

Also, what is a good website or store to get upgrades cheap? What are good brand reccomendations for intake and upgrades? Specifically cold air intake, header, and exhaust system... Thanks...

from what i understand intercooler help the turbo cool down from overheating becuz turbo cuz alot of heat and turbo and intercooler go hand and hand... i think you can add a intercooler into your car without a turbo but it will be a waste and people will mock you when you dont have turbo and just a intercooler

as for intake i rec. getting AEM or Injen...for best price i guess you just have to shop around...

an intercooler is used to cool the charge/air generated by the turbo before it is delivered to the engine. When in doubt, google it or hit www.howstuffworks.com .
