Intercooler for non-turbo?

[yaris2010RS]

No..... not of the cone on the IC. in my boost thread i did discuss this topic slightly.

Also my cone wasnt mounted in an idea CAI place, I mounted it inside the engine bay close to the top of the bumper where my turbo would easily hook up too

Technically, the project is pretty straightforward: I already have a TRD cai which goes under the fender, extending the tubes to the radiator and placing the filter further under the opposite fender is not difficult.

Any potential gains? Cons?

Thx

Cons: IDK.

Gains: Fun, Fun, Fun and maybe some horses?

Do it, make a DIY and take lots of pics. (Subscribed?)

I can't help but think that if this was a viable option, there would be plenty of people doing it already. While I'm not saying that there can be no innovation these days, I am saying this is a pretty basic principle, and there's probably a reason we don't see it being done.

Now you're talking!
Any other ambient cooling of ambient air is just a waste of hardware, added weight and added restriction.
