This crops up every couple of months the black paint will help radiate the heat but insulate it from conducting the heat to the air...swings and round abouts but how many oem manufacturers paint there ally rads black? Yes i moved to the darkside |

I think black factory intercoolers used to be common. Cossie ones, MR2 ones etc.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

If OEM dont paint it...it's largely down to cost. Why waste money on paint unless it's absolutely necessary ? IMO matt black is the best colour...but it would then depend on how much paint, and actual fin/gill designs. You could easily find that the paint clogs up the fins which in itself would reduce efficiency. But as long as the unit is of adequate size, I'd say any difference on a moving vehicle would be almost immeasurable. If the IC/rad is exposed to sunlight, then black probably isnt the best colour. If it's sheltered from heat sources, then it probably is. 9.85 @ 145mph

Alright then fair enough but look at it from a common sence point of view does it really matter ? If you rely on the paint for that last gnats pubes worth of heat transferal just buy a more suitable radiator / intercooler Yes i moved to the darkside |

+ 1 with brett just gett a better cooler!!! why use a tinny peace of shit when you could be comfortalbe with a larger cooler all be it a bit harder to fit in the bay and all imo its way worth it!! for the sake of few bucks on a good cooler vs and engine tear down to replace things id rather the better cooler and leave the engine alone |

the way i see it is the limiting factor on boost/compression is the charge temp so if you bring the charge down then you can raise boost and or compression! free hp really!

In £/hp terms, painting your intercooler, whatever size, is very good value. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

What about under load at low speeds, surely then the colour of the cooler starts to help. Most standard mini rads are black too. Unless you want it shiny to show it off I would say the black cooler is the better option. Unless of course it's right next to a heat source. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

if you read some comments they calculated it wrong. watch the video again and write down their readings and do the maths. there is about a few degrees difference. |
