Put the new intercooler in the other day
|
Looks so much nicer with that in there and should keep your charge cooler too!
|
looks like it means business. I like when the intercooler fills out the whole opening. every other miata around this place has one of those gay ass whimpy looking ones that look ugly.
good job man |
Yeah, looks about 10x better. No more note card intercoolers.
|
What was the objective? The new IC has less volume (barely) but more surface and way better exposure. Curious to see the results in IAT and impact on the other exchanger(s).

My main objective was more exposure don't think the air was really hitting the top part of the intercooler behind the bumper. And I wanted to fill the opening better. |

Well what I have experienced with radiator sizing on random projects over the years is that radiator frontal area has a much bigger effect on cooling ability than thickness.
could imagine the same would go for intercoolers. So although it is half an inch thinner, I would think it would probably cool better. Plus the end tanks arent in front of the airflow to the radiator anymore. |
Man, that looks nice. You notice any performance improvement?

Looks infinitely better. I would never, ever, ever buy those "note card" intercoolers, even if it'd work better. Looks liek you don't know what you're doing. I'm 98% "go" over "show", but those narrow I/C's are just stupid looking.
Good job. |
/\ what he said
|
^ditto
|
And you've got shrouding in the mouth? So the air doesn't just roll down the face of the IC and under the car?
