Benefits of an intercooler
One problem with a Turbo is the close proximity of the cold intake charge with the hot exhaust temperatures within the turbo.
Don’t forget that a big air intake heat rise comes from the actual compression of air so even supercharged engine will benefit from an intercooler.
If you have ever felt the nozzle on a tyre pump you will realise that when air is compressed it gains heat.
Miller vs Otto vs Atkinson CycleComplete guide to the differences between Miller, Otto and Atkinson Cycle Engines and the pros and cons of each type of engine.
How to lower the engines compression ratioReducing the compression ratio is required if you want to run a high boost supercharged engine. High compression NA (naturally aspirated) engines are quite efficient but when adding forced induction you want to lower the compression ratio.
The compression ratio has a dramatic effect on an engines performance and the problem of knock, (where the air fuel mix prematurely ignites) is controlled to a large degree by the compression ratio.
