Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

Rakst á þennan auglýstan á bilakassi.is. Hélt að sjálfsögðu að þetta væri lýgi. Nei það var ekki málið. 5,4 lítra vél með blower og intercooler sem hægt er að kúpla inn á aircondition kerfið. Þetta mætti alveg notast við.

The 32-valve supercharged engine uses patented ?SuperCooler? technology. Perhaps it should be called ?SuperCooletti? after SVT chief engineer John Coletti who both heads Ford SVT and patented the SuperCooler design himself. Coletti came up with a very practical way to provide a burst of power by using the truck?s air conditioning compressor to chill a small storage tank of coolant to 30-degrees Fahrenheit and then dump this coolant right into the supercharger?s intercooler with the touch of a button. The result is a 20% drop in air temperature that creates a higher density of air by volume for better combustion and higher horsepower – around 50-hp more for up to 30 to 40 seconds at wide-open throttle.

Þetta er eitthvað sem við ættum að prófa sem erum með millikæla hjá okkur.
