H2R has no intercooling between the supercharger and the intake valves? Weird

Keep Cool

They Don't Need One...

This Monster Puts Down 500+RWHP Without Intercooling >

Kawasaki must be very confident with their anti knocking system. One thing is for sure, you must always have access to high quality petrol to run this beast right.

You are obviously missing the point.

They did not add an intercooler because, Guess what? They did not need one.

When the H2R is traveling fast, the forced air induction into the charger is also
keeping it cool.

The extra weight was also a factor.

I don't know about you and how you ride, but I've been running centri blowers since the early 1990's, and I don't feel comfortable running boost without a intercooler.
I hope that Kawi have engineered something for intake temps.

How I ride? Wide Open !!!

1K does have a point, unless, the winglets really are creating a superlative venturi effect and simply sucking the heat right out... ???

It is possible, coupled with the very high wind velocity, at super high speeds.

Look at what the supercars of today are doing with air cooling.The brakes,
the engine, and various other parts, are being cooled by funneled air.

The aero technology on this bike is outstanding.

Nah.
It was dumb the first time I read it. No need to read it again.

You really are the knucklehead from the other ZX forums. You move around a lot.

I 've seen your work, Now for the slow learner's like yourself, or some would call
the " Simple folk "

I can see why you can't comprehend anything, forum to forum.

If you talked to me or anyone else at the track like that, you know exactly what would happen to you.
Regardless, you are obviously clueless about forced induction, boy.

I actually don't think its relevant that there is no intercooler. At speed its essentially being force fed freezing cold air, besides most supercharger systems use an aftercooler system anyways...

shaking my head

The bike community obviously doesn't know much about forced induction.
Aftercoolers ARE intercoolers, just air to water usually.
The supercharger compresses and heats the air, so the "freezing cold air" isn't cold after the blower.

D W Y ..... done with you

Enlighten us to all the mistakes Kawasaki engineers have made.... we get it you're brilliant....

I never said they made a mistake.
As a ZX10 owner, I have faith in Kawi.
I am simply asking how they are dealing with the increased intake temps that the supercharger will produce.

I also don't think that just because you are at speed the air is cooler. There is a difference between the temperature of the air and wind chill.

more air=more cooling, moving air dissipates heat faster than stagnant air. Why do you think I said essentially

You got called out on your bullshit.
Stop Backpeddling.

The fact is, we were talking about cooling the air after it's heated by the supercharger and you were talking out of your ass because you don't understand forced induction.
On top of that, you sarcastically call me "brilliant", making you look like a complete idiot.
