Heat soak will be worse with a TMIC. Remember, hot air always rises UPWARDS. Hot air from the engine bay will rise upwards into the TMIC.
All common-rails run around 1 bar, slightly above. Swift is about 15 psi and so is the Elantra. The Octavia 1.9 TDI is around 1 bar. |
Ok. you asked for the location, i gave it!
I was thinking about a bigger Intercooler, and was wondering if there was space to install it in the stock location, hence the TMIC discussion started.
So, do you think the performance drop in the afternoons that I experience currently will be controlled if I get an intercooler that has more surface area and made out of materials that have more favourable thermal characteristics?
Especially, since I'm thinking of a boost controller to be added on in the future.
when you say 15 psi- that will be 1Bar+15psi in absolute terms right? sorry for all the silly questions.
Any suggestions from your side on the clutch? In case I need to replace it. currently, everything is fine on that front(touchwood)
I did think of the convection effect heating up a TMIC, but thought, that should be solved with ventilation/hood scoops.
