its not a bad idea.....i have basically my entire engine coated with the various types of these coatings....from pistons to valves to intake manifold to exhaust manifold....

the product does what it should...and to coat an intercooler like what he did will make more difference than you would think....

its not just flat black paint

oh yeah and it looks bad *** soon_2b_evil good stuff...

quote from swaintechs website

Each Swain Tech coating is formulated for a specific purpose. Depending on the function of the coated part, that purpose may be to retain heat, to remove heat, or to reduce friction, corrosion or wear. In certain applications, coatings can even restore a part to like new, or better than new, condition. Swain Tech coatings extend component life economically.</TD></TR></TABLE>

The purpose of those coatings on your engine parts is the OPPOSITE of what you want to happen with an intercooler. Your point is moot.

And what should it do then? I asked for more information about the product for a reason, I'd rather not argue about this until we have a reference point.

Thanks for the update. That's why I asked for a link to the information about the stuff it's made out of, I want some technical information.

So basicially that quote says "stuff does good stuff." That's not quite scientific enough for me, thanks.

 

since it's related and someone mentioned it, heres a good link.

answer 1 - the coating i have on my engine are different yes but some are the same...the intake manifold helps REMOVE HEAT, like what the intercooler coating would do.

answer 2 - the coating is supposed to help REMOVE heat, the principles are as such, the coating helps the thermal despersant qualities of the material(i.e aluminum intercooler) thus making the heat dispersant value of the material greater. meaning that it will transfer heat out of the intercooler better, how much better depends on alot of things...

answer 3 - there was a link in the first couple post that explains alot about the company, and also has company contacts, if you want to learn more about how it works, call them up...

answer 4 - yes the quote isnt scientific...but it explains what swaintech produces coatings to do, like i said above if you want to learn more, call swaintech... ask them.

oh yeah and also CALM down, i was just stating information, which was what you asked, i wasnt attacking you.

ohh yeah and i have personally witnessed 2 dyno runs of 2 identical motors(not honda)but one motor had some coated parts, the main thing is the intake manifold...and when you looked at the readings the air temp on the coated intake was cooler by quite a bit for just a coating...

 

That sucks about UPS. I got my radiator shipped by them last week and it had a huge *** dent in it, was not usuable at all.

Swain Tech is good stuff, I might get my intercooler coated after seeing that. Whats sweet is they're like a 15 minute drive from me, so I won't have to pay shipping.

 

anodized for the same reasons
