Interested in pre-sale here as well.

 

[Turbo65]

I hope this will fit a 2016

I'm in for pre-sale if the price is good for canadian buyers! I was wondering to get a kind of combo IC/IC pipe kit if it can be available it will be really nice!

Thank you 44! Because our intercooler piping kit is already released and available through our vendor channel, we will not be offering a combination sale of the two products. Sorry!

I'm in for a pre sale too, the yellow one would be really unique on my molten orange. Please make a yellow one!

Thanks Hydrix. We will be offering this intercooler in black, silver, and gold.

I'm very interested.

Exciting!!! Very interested.

Perfect timing for me too I've been waiting to pull the trigger before the summer heat gets here

Interested in pre-sale here as well.

Thanks guys!

I hope this will fit a 2016

Sure does!

Thanks

In for Pre-sale $$numbers and final product pics.

Thanks! Our pre-sale will start early next week and our discounted rate will be $569.95!

[J2FoRS]

Wow. And promptly out for final product pics or info. That was a long wait just to hear that kinda pricing.
While I'm sure your quality will he excellent as usual. That will be pushing almost $1000 CAD by the time exchange, shipping, duty and taxes are factored. Good R&D as usual though. Moving on.

Unsubbed.

Yeah not a good timing for us (canadians) to deal with US ... canadian dollar is at his lowest rate vs US dollar. Will also have to wait!

Nice, that will be good, seems like a fair price for a FMIC that will fit stock without cutting or anything

 

[hydrix]

I'm so game for a gold one. Price is high, but with that research and data all laid or there I believe it's justified. Better to pay for quality than buy something and find out it's poorly built. As long as there isn't a 4-6 month wait to get one that is..

 

[iX-Grimjow-Xi]

Yea hope its not a big wait time on it but i think im going for that gold too.

Offer a the black one with a white or some other color Mishi logo painted on the front and ill take the dive.

I'm a little fanboy when it comes to painted intercoolers, which is why im leaning towards the black mountune with yellow logo. Cobb also offered to paint their logo on if I just called them and made the note when ordering.

Well I can't order it any time soon due to unforeseen stupidity and other things. I am going to hold out to get this intercooler. I was looking at so many others because they all offered either good price points or were the go to ICs for bit turbo upgrades later down the line and junk. However, seeing as things change including my current state of affairs, I will have to wait just a bit.

But don't you worry Mishi, I'll be there soon. That gold IC is gonna be mine!

The data has been shown here, the R&D process has been documented the entire way, all of our questions have been answered, and the quality is top notch as expected from a company like Mishimoto.

There really is no reason not to go for this cooler unless you plan to do the DHM kit for massive turbo goodness or just want a different IC core type.

I can't wait to see what everyone's impressions of it are once they get their hands on it.

I have been looking forward to this product and following the development process, with interest.

However, I don't understand how you can do all the testing with a bar and plate construction and then switch to a tube and fin construction for the final product.

I'm not saying tube and fin is inferior, in fact I like the weight savings of the format. And, logically, I would think it would offer better thermal transfer making it more efficient; the wise choice (although I am well aware of previous threads that have argued the merits of each, generally by their respective manufacturers).

It seems to me you tested apples and oranges, did final selections on a set of oranges and are now going to offer us a really nice apple!

I would hope to see a final comparison of the finalized tube and fin unit against bar and plate #3 and bar and plate #4.

Bump

So you're going ahead with the pre-sale before publishing the final comparison results????

 

[808FiST]

Good point. After the initial excitement of the product, I went back to review the R&D process, and came to the same conclusion as you. Hoping Mishimoto can provide us more info.

Based on the provided data where would the J-Line fall? How bout' revising the J-Line with the new core type for those of us that opened up our bumpers?

 

[Svensunn]

Alas, won't be buying this anytime soon now... Canadian dollar is brutal.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Our pre-sale is set to launch on Monday. We anticipate the shipment of our pre-sale orders the first week of May.

Interesting input. Due to popular request, we are actually no longer painting the logo on recent intercooler cores. Instead, we have been adding subtler branding to end tanks, such as a cast “M”. I am not sure we will be able to satisfy such a request unless multiple folks would prefer this. Sending you a PM with some options.

Thank you very much! We are definitely excited for the feedback from first users.

The choice to perform our most recent test with a bar-and-plate core was primarily done for speed. The timeframe to construct prototypes is substantially faster with the bar-and-plate design. We were evaluating pressure drop differences based on internal fin design. Our prior experience has showed that changing core types has a small impact on pressure drop if the fin style and design is identical. So, by using a bar-and-plate design, we can still evaluate pressure drop for our tube-and-fin design. We are well aware these data points will not be 100% accurate for our final product, but the differences will be very minute. We have no doubt that this cooler is going to perform exactly as we anticipated.

I completely understand the request for final product testing on this cooler, and I will pass this on to our team.

Based on the provided data where would the J-Line fall? How bout' revising the J-Line with the new core type for those of us that opened up our bumpers?

The J-line performed in a very similar manner to this cooler in terms of pressure drop and temperature reduction during these tests. This direct-fit option is a bolt-on and will not require any modification to your vehicle. Spool time will also be slightly improved over the J-line, due to the more suitable volume. The J-line does have a higher horsepower limit (around 550 whp). I think the purchasing decision can be made based on your goals for the vehicle. If you intend to stay at or below around 300 whp, the direct-fit cooler we designed here is going to be the best bet. If you are seeking power output above 325whp, the J-line is the better option. Also consider the core design and size. The tube-and-fin design will provide a lower weight and greater airflow past the core. If you are on a road course, this could be very important.

Thanks

Guess im out of this intercooler cause i plan on going big turbo later on.

 

[Turbo65]

Looking forward to ordering this and starting my trip down #modmyridelane as my GF says

If you intend to make big power, the J-line is likely going to be a more suitable cooler for you.

Thanks Turbo!
