intercooler / fuel consumption relationship?
If one were to upgrade a 2.4 puma to a larger intercooler would this alone bring down fuel efficiency?

A small one, mostly noticeable in summer due to the air entering the engine being cooler, and thus the engine running more efficiently. --

Definately no discenable difference in economy but a significant drop in engine running temperatures. Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Coolant water temperature figures when ambient temperature and driving conditions were the same before and after fitting (taken at 25 degrees ambient) Summer months obviously.
