Idea: Twin Intercooled Options

[Inferno]

Several people have inquired in the past about Twin Turbo. More recently it was discussed that a Twin Turbo setup on a four-cylinder is completely pointless. We all know that turbo's create unwanted heat. I had the idea, while sitting in class today, of a Twin Intercooled engine. I don't know if anyone has ever done it, but I'd like to ask about it.

We all know that the 3S-GTE has a Top Mount Intercooler. I've read threads about putting a FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler) on a 3S-GTE engine. People have said it is possible, but it would need custom piping. So, this brought about the idea of a Twin Intercooled engine.

I figured if a person could mount a FMIC on a 3S-GTE (with custom piping of course), then why couldn't they simply connect it to the TMIC and have double the cooled air charge. I figure it would keep a high-powered engine MUCH cooler than normal. I also figured it was possible since there isn't a FMIC stock with the 3S-GTE engine, therefore there is the space to do it with.

Get back to me, people! I appreciate all who contribute!

YES. you can do it. but once again, it's pointless.

why have two intercoolers?

1 FMIC that provides cold air and a TMIC that porduces WARM air.

One of the reasons ppl upgrade to a FMIC is because the TMIC is on top of the engine.

A engine that gets real HOT. It cools down the air fromt he turbo, but it's still somewhat hot because of the fact that its surrounded by so much HEAT.

I say just get a good FMIC and hook up a sprayer to it.

That's just what i think.
