Q: Can any of the new Renault engines accept an aftermarket muffler?

A: The F4RT can.

That’s a pretty intercooler.

I wonder how much you’d gain from an aftermarket one...it looks kinda like it was designed to save heaps of space

Just guessing, but probably not much. Dry air has very little heat capacity, so you really don’t need a very big intercooler to radiate the heat away as long as you’ve got good internal heat transmission to take the heat out of the air.

There, an engine. Happy now?

That name is awesome.

The intercooler looks tiny from the ones I've seen. Like a third of the size of the one on my car, and mine is stock. Everyone upgrades them, so why would it be so tiny?

Does it perform better than the “performance” engine they put in the Red Bull cars?

It looks like you can also shorten the run quite a bit to reduce lag.

The intercooler is post-compressor though, so the air gets heated pretty tremendously.

Sure, but the total amount of energy there as heat is pretty low. For dry air the specific heat capacity is around 1 kj per kg per degree. For water it’s more like 4 times that, and of course a kg of water fits into a much smaller volume than a kilo of somewhat compressed air.
