An intercooler doesn’t keep the engine cool—it actually increases the need for more cooling. Colder air charge means more oxygen density, more oxygen requires more fuel to match, more burned fuel and more power means more heat is generated. As mentioned, an intercooler also heats air going into radiator as well as blocking it.My CTR goes into limp mode whenever my gas tank is less than half full and I always get overheating issues even though I have upgraded to a Mishimoto Intercooler. I recently ordered the ebay special grill to get more airflow into the engine; let's see if that helps. If not, I'm thinking I might have to get an upgraded oil cooler and turbo blanket.
For reference, I'm running Mishimoto Intercooler and Intake, PRL front and downpipe, Greddy SP HG exhaust, Ktuner v1.2, Eibach front and rear sway bars, Eibach Pro Springs, Project Mu Club racer pads, Titan TS5's on RC1's 265/35/18, SRF brake fluid, and aftermarket rotors (forgot the brand).
