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

[Mr. Tech]

Oh wow, black was a good choice. Looks awesome on the blue. And now that I see you have a blacked out Stinger, the black intercooler might make more sense haha.

 

[Metalmania82]

That's why I wasn't sure what to do!!!! Probably gonna do black.

 

[Mr. Tech]

I just noticed you're running map 3. What octane fuel are you using? Or do you have WMI?

 

[DoctorStiches]

@Mishimoto about to make tens of thousands on launch day hehehe

 

[Steelo]

@Mishimoto do you have a set time on Thursday it will be available on your site? I work 12-16hr night shifts and want to make sure i can maybe set an alarm so i can stay on top of putting in my order lol
Also is anything offered for #TeamMishi sponsored people or is it all offered the same for everyone? Figured I might as well ask lol

Nice pics

Much appreciated! They were all a part of this fancy thing that I whipped up:

Possible to get it without the logo?

We don't currently have an option without a logo. I'll shoot you a PM though!

Why didn’t yu guys offer a silver option? One would think that it would work better without adding more insulation (paint).

So we actually have tested this before, primarily with our black intercoolers to determine if they absorbed more heat, and powder coating the intercooler cores doesn't have any measurable effect on the performance. Any coating on the external fins is a thin coat and won't hinder the heat transfer in a substantial way.

@Mr. Tech this is the only picture I have right now with the wheels

Looking good!

I don't have an exact time, but it's first on my list tomorrow to kick this off for you guys, so I should be dropping a link for you around 10-11am EST.

Also, great question! Unfortunately, we do not offer additional discounts with sponsorship codes on top of our presales, but can be used once the sale closes.

Thanks!

I’ll be standing by patiently waiting for my opportunity to stake my claim

@Mishimoto or anyone else - does the kit come with the merge/Y pipe (I don't know what it's called, it's where the blow off valves would go)? I can't tell from the diagram and have been away from this thread for a bit.

Yup! The piping merger section is included with our kit.

Also, here's a peek at an actual photo of everything included in the kit:

Link is coming in the morning tomorrow!

Thanks,

@Mishimoto is this a limited spot presale or will this be open to as many slots that sign up?

There are unlimited slots, but the pricing will only be available for a limited time

Sorry if this was already asked but will any modifications need to be done in order for this kit to fit or will the kit be full bolt on using existing bolt holes?

No worries, and a great question! There is only one minor modification needed to the front air shrouding starting at 11:25 in our installation video:

I also have the stock part number listed for you guys on the product page in the case that you do want to revert back to stock.

@Mishimoto Ive removed my shroud, but installed big mouth ducts. Will this be an issue?

Haha I already removed this for the snorkels! Score.

I’m not seeing how it will be an issue because this looks to be out of the way similar to the agency power fmic

Perfect. One less step to do then lol

Thank you for the very well done install video, answered a couple of questions i have been wondering. i'm really on the fence about ordering but looking at the quality of the build and various parts that come in this package is pushing me closer to jumping on the early pricing. If its super compelling i'll be ordering.
