Default mishimoto intercooler review

I have been looking at the new mishimoto intercoolers for my integra sedan project, Im having a problem finding any info first hand on their products that have been used on any high hp applications.

Their line of bar and plate universal intercoolers have 15 fins per inch which is comprable to the garrett/precision cores and for comparason the treadstone crores are 10 fins per inch! These mishimoto intercoolers are about half the price...


any info will help!!

have seem the $132 one that sells all the time on ebay used often in my area. no back to back testing against big brands to see if there is pressure or hp loss.

that depends upon the model. Even Bar & plate from Garrett models have different internal fin designs that determine how compact (and therefore the number of fins) used per square inch.

Im using the Z-line and its perfect for my small goals.. Its rated for 300hp so its perfect for my goals.

I also wrap the intake charge under the hood,pre-throttle body to keep the heat down.
