3.3TT Mishimoto's Stinger GT Intercooler Kit R&D Thread

[STINGER]

Hey Guys,

I apologize for the absence here, but we've been doing a lot in the background to prep for the presale launch that's will be launching VERY soon. I'll have some more info coming your guys' way shortly, but in the meantime, here's the full list of components that you'll be receiving with our kit:

Looks good

Did you guys check or test fit it on a G70? Need to know if it fit with the G70 aluminum crash beam.

BMS tested these ducts and contrary to the layman's assumption of their 'lack of function', they in fact work.

I'd imagine since the vehicle's nose is a high pressure zone, it will subsequently force air through those snorkels. In contrast, air moving around the vehicle is accelerating, low pressure, and any vents in these areas would need vents and ducts with a more laminar flow design.

Besides, it's a bit pretentious to assume we know more than a team of automotive engineers who are experts in their field. Since it's on the front end of the vehicle, there was likely crash test contingencies included in it's design. Overall, yeah, it's weird, but stating it's non-functional is just cherry picking logic. The entire vehicle is the sum of it's parts and those sealed factory airboxes get cool air. If anything, heatsoak is more of a real world issue vs the OE snorkels. lol. The money used to purchase aftermarket snorkels would be better spent on an intercooler upgrade, IMO.

also why when we do cold air intakes, exhaust, intercooler is there a power boost? so if the car is the sum of all its parts why would we need to upgrade certain parts for it to run better? my friend is a engineer He’s the reason why I went with snorks ... the way he explained it’s called frontal pressure... so maybe having a direct airflow is not such a bad thing could cause less drag He said it would work better if I had a working vents on my hood (resistive force)

I have reached out regarding G70 fitment and they have not checked at all. They said if they plan to do so they’ll need a test vehicle. I offered to help locate someone in their area and they said they would reach out if they go that route.

Soooo, pre-order mid August and receive parts sometime early winter????

We have not performed a test fit on a G70 currently, but we dug through the part numbers and have a high confidence that it will fit the Genesis models as well.

From looking at some photos of the Stinger with the G70 crash beam installed it looks like there will be no problem with fitment for those with that setup as well

We're looking at an August 6th (yes a real date for you guys! ) pre-sale kick off with parts arriving September. We just have a few more things to finish up on the backend here and we'll have a pre-sale link for you next week!

Will it be available in your EU store Mishimoto™ - Aluminium Radiator, Performance Radiator, Intercooler Specialists ?
I am interested in two sets for my Stingers

Could you at least tell us if the pre-sale price will be less than the aforementioned ford f-150 kit?

 

[Nomad76]

Perhaps, sub $1200-

I would hope the pre-sale would be a couple hundred less than this.

 

[STINGER]

After this wait, should be $899.99
