For example, a bar and plate style core, a tube and fin style core along with different fin pitches and heights i.e. 22 ,17 or 12 fins per inch as well as changing the internal fin pitches\/shapes and density within the tube enabling to fine tune the amount of pressure drop the intercooler produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePressure drop is not always a bad thing, as our testing and research has proven on various projects, this is because the pressurized air velocity is being stalled by the pressure drop within the cooler thus allowing more time to cool the air within the cooler itself, as air passes through the non-pressurized face of the core, that is open to the atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToo much pressure drop can of course have a problem on the higher performance engines as the intercooler reaches its maximum efficiency the turbo has to work a lot harder to force the air through the core. This in turn creates higher inlet air temps (IAT’s) due to the turbo creating more heat as it is over stressed and worked harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo pressure drop can also prove to be inefficient as the cooler will not lower the charge temperature again resulting in higher inlet air temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs shown in the graph below, for both tests we let the car heat soak on the dyno until the radiator fans tripped on and off (which gives an inlet temperature of 36°C), then do a dyno pull from there. This gives a more consistent result and reflects real-world driving conditions more accurately. You can easily see the Forge intercooler cools much quicker and delivers a much greater drop in temperature compared to OEM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-g pure-g-gapped\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-u-1 pure-u-md-1-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-u-1 pure-u-md-1-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_Audi_RSQ3_F3_682d8ef12f32b_0jpeg.jpg\"\u003eOn the standard car we tested on, it made 362bhp completely stock (so largely in line with what Audi quote) with a peak intake temperature of 58°C.
