Learn how an intercooler works in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. It cools compressed air from turbos/superchargers for denser, oxygen-rich intake.
The compression action of a turbocharger or supercharger increases the temperature of the intake air. Because cool air is more dense, and dense air contains more oxygen, intercoolers are used in forced induction cars to lower the air temperature after it has been compressed but before it enters the cylinder. Additionally, cooler air is less likely to cause detonation.
Tips
- Cooler intake air is denser, meaning it contains more oxygen.
- More oxygen in the intake charge can lead to better engine performance.
- Using an intercooler can help prevent engine detonation.
