Turboglide install on my truck

Unfortunately you can't funnel air to accelerate airflow as wayne thinks.
The air velocity you can reach is limited to your forward speed unless you've got a fan or vortex sucking air out the other end.

Ok, I have an idea where to put the pyro probe.

As for a fan mounted to draw air across the IC, that seems feasible, it'll have to be a little thing to fit where it will do any good. Jake2far mentioned and alcohol and water sprayer to cool things off. What's the story there? Is it just spraying over the IC to improve heat transfer?

ummm, at what temp is the air when no (read minimal) boost is being created?
if no boost then no incease in air temp going into the combustion chamber, no increase in air temp then no need for intercooler.
IF boost is created then forward momentum is occuring, if forward momentum is occuring then there is an air charge going through the intercooler.

correct me where i am wrong.

All good until you're stuck. Then lots of boost and not going anywhere.

cute...
but if you are stuck then why are you reving your engine going nowhere? that is newbie driving, not seasoned.

but

to further your idea, winter wheeling, lots of wheel spin can happen with slow forward momentum but then even high rpms do not create significant boost. sit at a light and rev your engine... how much boost are you creating in a Land Cruiser? you MIGHT see 4 lbs. you will never see 10-14 sitting still. you need load to create boost, a slow climb up a long hill at highway speeds will create more boost at lower rpms than high rpms sitting still.

The good thing about winter wheeling is the temps are nice and low.
So it all sorts itself out really.

a pyro is just a suggestion, if preturbo then 1000F post turbo is 1200F and this is just a suggestion as well.

Wayne .. maybe here you make a typo ..

Pre Turbo 1200 ºF

Post Turbo 1000 ºF

I never even considere post turbo .. I was clear in Pre Turbo setup and more accuracy reading as I can ..

you got that right... BRRRR!

 

[crushers]

yep, you are right Tapage, i stated 1000F post turbo for the discussion with Dougal. if the temp is actually 300F warmer preturbo with the probe mounted post turbo at 1000F you are still within safe parameters.

The tiny tach is an awesome idea.

I love cruising posts only to find solutions to problems I thought I could never solve.

Thanks!
