3.3TT Mishimoto's Stinger GT Intercooler Kit R&D Thread

[STINGER]

If the intercooler is not extending above the crash beam, then i see a great opportunity to make a much bigger and thicker transmission cooler replacement, that along with a radiator upgrade and the intercooler would be the shit.

 

[StungnTn]

Hurry up and take my money.

 

[Robs]

We're planning on a full kit

-Nick

Anything for 2.0L Stingers please?

 

[Mishimoto]

Any plans for an upgraded radiator?

No word just yet on the radiator/other cooling upgrades just yet, but I've made it known that you guys are looking for those!

Has anyone had any documented overheating at all?

Nothing in the works at the moment for the 2.0T's unfortunately

No over heating documented yet.
However the aftermarket community is really pushing the limits of the factory components (fuel system, turbos, exhaust) and with that heat and working engine temperatures increase. That added to the fact that GDi engines run hotter than port injection ones should surpass the efficiency of the factory cooling system. Not to mention the blazing hot temperatures we see each summer.

There is an aftermarket oil cooler option out there, but it is not a plug and play per say. (see link below)

I’ve not overheated, but my many, many trips to Atco and Cecil Dragway tell me that an IC option is essential. Even with my WMI, heat soak has become an issue in days when I can get many consecutive passes in.

No overheating here, but I do have to watch my coolant levels much more in this car than I have in any other.

I don't anticipate any heating issues from drag racing, however track racing yes. When my car was stock, my oil temps after 3 laps would be really high, I would slow down to cool the car because I didn't wan't to damage anything. My second track day with the car modded, I wasn't able to do more than two laps before slowing down and letting the car cool.

FYI, this is on the F1 Bahrain International Circuit, so it is really hard on the car.

I hope it is not too late for one last suggestion. The Genesis G70 uses a lighter aluminum front crash bar, saves I believe +/- 20lbs, the bar swap is popular in Korea and I suspect the trend will follow globally as the Stinger is a heavy car. Some intercoolers (Ex. Wagner) will not fit using the G70 bar. In light of this I would suggest designing the intercooler to fit both bars so that your kit will work on both cars the Stinger and G70, the piping and the rest is all the same between both cars.

Nick,

Mark Emailed us today with progress on the project. Im glad you guys decided to get one and do some R&D after Allan stopped by to see our car!

Thanks for the insight! I know you're poking around here even more than us, so we greatly appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for the input on the track use! Though it is a small fraction of the Stingers that will see the track it's beneficial for us to see how they keep up with being pushed to their absolute limit. It sounds like an oil cooler set up would be a big help to you. I'll definitely pass on the interest in that!

Also definitely not too late for more suggestions! We always try to make sure that our products play well with others, especially the most popular mods. We already have been looking into the crash beams equipped on the Stingers overseas, so we could add the G70 beam to the list

Much appreciated!

Oh yeah definitely! IC heat soak is something that we're aiming to eliminate for this platform. Most of our bar-and-plate units can drop your IAT to just a few degrees over ambient in most cases

Glad to hear it! I've been hearing all about you guys around the office here!

More info to come soon, guys!

Just curious - as I understand it, Burger is working on an intercooler with an injection port in the charge pipe for adding extra fuel, as I understand it. Would your kit be compatible with that (modified charge pipe?)? If you're working on an oil cooler, I'm definitely interested, and would consider a designed-to-work-together option. But I'm also interested in the charge-pipe feature..

 

[Mishimoto]

Hey Guys!

Just coming in to bump up this thread since we had the chance to thoroughly examine the Stinger GT's stock intercooling system. Make sure that you head over to the Engineering Blog for more info!

Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for more updates to come! Also, shameless plug to keep a look out on our Catch Can thread for an update on that project also coming very soon

Thanks,
Nick

stop teasing these guys NICK!!!

That sounds like a water/meth injection port, which is something that we usually include in some fashion with our piping kits. Given the popularity with meth injection on this platform, I'm sure Dan has already included that in his master plan

Hi,

we have all seen a stock Stinger intercooler, is it possible to see YOUR intercooler?

thanks for your consideration.

 

[Socalstinga]

@Mishimoto this is exactly why I'm glad you guys are in on this car...taking a critical look at the important parts of the system...can't wait...

I'm not 100% sure of the details, but apparently it could also be used to inject extra E85..

LMFAO, this is LITERALLY what I was about to post!

 

[Kazz]

Based on the reveal of the 420 Stinger and the fact that Kia's only cooling upgrade was to the trans cooler, I'm very interested in those future options.
