Intercooler options

[Travis Wills]

This has been tested and proven to be not true over and over again in regards to intercoolers.

What isn't true? That black materials absorb heat?

Too bad mishimoto makes garbage products. I had their oil cooler lines blow on my 370z doing 130 down a back straight. They use cheap materials and have awful couplers.

It's not an opinion when I have evidence of a part failing.

So by your standard, companies cannot have any faulty parts or defects? Just because you had an issue doesn't mean the entire company is shit, that's retarded.

I've also had friends blow mishimoto radiator caps and burn them for no good reason.
And no, when it comes to oil and radiator caps there is no room for error.
Good luck hope your lines don't blow when you are running it hard.

 

[Meckman]

If you are handy, you can build one like I did.

Mishi have a great track record for cooling products . Rad caps and oil lines are not the same as intercoolers

In regards to intercooler, its makes no difference.

mythbusters proved this haha

Any black material will absorb radiant heat. In the Sun the Stinger’s intercooler is exposed. There are some cars where the intercooler is not exposed. The Stinger is not one of those cars.

You are ALWAYS better with an unpainted intercooler for the Stinger on a Sunny day.

Why are they hanging around a hot radiator cap?

When you build 1000 race cars sometimes you get under a hot hood

Not saying that there is not a difference in heat transfer.

Just saying that the difference between painted or unpainted is negligible.

I like the low profile/stealth look of black; much less ricer/Fast'n Furious vibes given off.

Well BMS intercooler is on back order. I bought UP FMIC without the upgraded charge pipe.

 

[Jaybone]

Still on back order I really wanted so I could either run cpi or meth kit and keep in the bms family of products

Can I ask why you skipped the charge pipe?

 

[ChaneRZ]

I just want to keep my engine bay stock as possible when it comes to smog time and dealership visits. Plus the stock charge pipe is pretty stable.

Have you noticed any difference over the oem?
