An intercooler on a non turbo car is a bit like a vertical ejector seat on a helicopter.
Air inside the intercooler is the same temp as the air outside the intercooler so it does nothing! With a water spray directed onto the fins, or chiller can on a water air intercooler you could get the air temp a bit below ambient, but not much. The amount of heat removal in an intercooler varies in direct proportion to the pressure of the charge air. (P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2) some smart arse said once upon a time :-)? By pressurising air, there is more heat per unit volume. The intercooler becomes more efficient as pressure rises as the temperature differential is greater, up to the point of maximum flow occurring.

I think I have a box full of used H1 head lights in the shed,,just check out parts yards I only used the stock alt ,the twin relay is wired straight to the battery and the only part of the factory wiring thats not used is the wires that plug into the factory head lights,No need to remove them,but if selling the car easy to remove relay and wiring and plug factory lights back in. outer lights are low beam and all 4 for high beam using the didoe across the relay. The Factory relay does both,,when it packs up the low beam work fine but when you go high beam only the centre ones work.. I sold my cibies ,i dont dream of driving a fully restored 510SSS on gravel roads ,plus six lights on the front is too much .. Whats peoples thoughts of a intercooler on a non turboed car?. I thin k it would work,,even ice can and water sprayers.. I do plan for ice bucket in the boot for the petorl ,,,, They just go so much better when its cold air ,,so why not all the time?.
