[QUOTE="4sdvenom, post: 16239143, member: 13315"] Actually that is not benificial that way. You want the air from the supercharger flowing into the engine crossing the coldest water in the intercooler last so that it gets the best temp transfer possible. That is why you want to feed the water into the bottom of the ic first and out the top. This also aids with removing any air from the system as previously mentioned that could otherwise get trapped in the ic by feeding into the top. The way you have it the air from the supercharger going into the engine is crossing the warmest water in the ic last so you are both trapping air and are also not getting the best temp transfer possible. This is the same basic principle and design used in home and commercial hvac systems. When there is a multi row cooling coil the air flowing across it ALWAYS passes over the coldest part of the coil with the coldest water or refrigerant last. The warmer part of the coil with the warmer water or refrigerant is still colder than the air crossing crossing over it and tempers or pre-cools the aircharge first so the coldest water or refrigerant can finish it off with the greatest temp transfer last. The coldest water cools “warm”air far better than trying to cool “hot” air. The hot air being the first air to cross the first half of the ic and the warm air being the air crossing the second half of the ic after it has already been tempered or pre-cooled through the first half of the ic. Hopefully that makes sense! -Ken [/QUOTE]
