The folly of youth

Diesel engines rely on temperature for good combustion. Take too much heat away and it's the same effect, loss of power, like when you have no thermostat

Not really, you want the air to go in as cold as possible, the compression soon heats it up enough to ignite the fuel. Each degree C cooler you can get the intake air down to after the turbo increases the air mass you cram in by 1/273. It's the very act of increasing the pressure of the air intake by the turb that increase the temperature and this needs to be lowered.

Yes and the air is going in as cold as it can given the design of the vehicle... the intercooler is designed as a front mount for a Scooby or evo, I'm not cutting holes and moving oil coolers for it, not any time soon at least... come back to it when I get a winch bumper and spots

Also, the bonnet scoop that's going on it is almost as big as the bonnet itself (big grin) and intake soon to be ram fed via a snorkel

You reckon it will go quick enough to get ram effect

[WelshLumberjack91]

No but it is better than dusty ambient air from inside the wing cavity... (currently as high as the door hinge with mud and leaves)
