Received Mishimoto's I/C yesterday. I must say the packaging was impeccable. Each component was individually wrapped in its respective plastic wrap. The workmanship is pretty darn good. Judge for yourself. Here are a few pix for you to enjoy.

Just thought I'd chime in and post some pics of my IC that came in the mail yesterday. Very quick shipping, superb packaging, and a very nice looking FMIC. Also have the OCC to be installed as well. I'm still waiting for some parts to come in so sadly these won't be going on for another week or two, but thought I'd share what the stealth black IC looks like in person !

I just read the entire thread, does anyone have any review of this intercooler? There was no data where the final product was tested. It looks great but does it perform as well as they say it does?

Mine is great. Best intercooler for 300 whp or less. Which is the best whp for daily driving

Mishimoto can you post your final test results on here with your intercooler, it might help a lot of people decide to buy yours if we saw the final test results with the t/f design. I think you guys said you were going to release those results 3 months ago.

 

[LilPartyBox]

Wow they STILL haven't posted that...suspect

 

[Fiestarawpower]

Hopefully one day they will post some results for us to see.

I've been running the Mishimoto I/C for a while now. At 60-70 mph, Charge Air Temp is 2-5 degrees over ambient. After 2 3rd gear pull to redline on the freeway, Charge Air Temp was 8-10 degrees over ambient, according to my AP when I had the Stratified Tune.

Still need to see final production data, it's just the right thing to do. Hopefully Mishimoto will post them soon. I don't feel comfortable buying until I have seen the production pressure and temps table.

Apologies for the delayed response. We are still planning to re-test our intercooler and share the results. We are encountering some delays with testing as we have been down a dyno for the past few weeks. The Intercooler testing is on our schedule and I will be sure to post more as soon as I have information to share with you all.

We appreciate your patience!

My charge temps seam to run any where from 8 to 15 degrees above out air temp according to my AP and what my out temp and my phone says. I'm at 1200ft above see level and I've only checked it with temps mid 80's to mid 90's. I don't know if that's good or bad to be honest.

 

[SQFiST]

Got mine installed yesterday. Love it

 

[mishimoto1]

Update!

Apologies for the delay in posting, coordinating with the new owner of the car and when we could complete additional testing for you guys took a bit longer than anticipated.

Here are the results of our temperature and pressure testing, of the production unit.

Pressure drop of Mishimoto cooler VS. Stock

Outlet temperature of Mishimoto cooler VS. Stock

In this testing we saw pressure drops very similar to stock, with about a 15 degree temperature drop over the stock cooler. Great results for our last round of testing.

We appreciate everyone who followed our progress in developing this cooler and thank everyone who purchased our intercooler, we love seeing installed shots!

Do you think reconfiguration the charge piping would decrease the amount of pressure drop in the higher cfm/rpm areas?

 

[rastok]

can we have the plot on the j line aswell we never got this!!

???

Sooooo agree with this!

 

[J2FoRS]

This all kind of just died eh...

So only two people ever bought this? Or where is everyone. Install pics etc. No body data logged or has any review or feedback?

Its been some time now, would love to hear impressions.
