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

[Metalmania82]

So to the people that already installed, do you think you could do it without lifting the vehicle?

Mine is lowered with Eibach springs and I was able to do everything fine using standard sized ramps.

Yea, I had zero ramps and did not want to get some cheap ones.

no ramps, no jack stands, then take it to a shop. it is possible to do it on the ground but its going to make routing the mishi piping more difficult.

btw even up by a jack you never end up under the car.

Dont belive him! I did this on the ground took 1.5 hours with lots of prerequisit knowledge of cars.... and a mishi video instruction hehe

really? dont believe me cause i said it was possible to do it on the ground but get a little height with a jack would be beneficial? see these type of responses make not enjoy being on the forums.




i did mine mostly on the ground, in hindsight a little bit of height would have been nice.

Should say i was repliying to you saying if you dont have equitment take it to a shop. Its embarrassing to take mods to a shop where im from. I absolutely made that post in passing please i did not mean to invoke this response.... seems a bit of a jump to react that way tho... :/

sorry, was having a bad day and lashed out. You are correct its not a hard installation.

Well said, well done. Good on you.

Anyone have any before and after dynos for the Mishimoto intercooler?

 

[BHamm]

This is a long thread! I have my intercooler ready to install, going to tackle it in a few weeks. I also have my BMS WMI to install, but won't do that at the same time. With that being said, do I need to drill and tap something on the Mishimoto piping for the WMI? ( thought that was mentioned somewhere but cannot find it now)

FWIW, everything looks awesome, from the product, to the packaging. All arrived in Canada in perfect shape.

I'm not an engineer, but I thought FMICs just help with heatsoak.

Yea there’s a bung on the charge pipe by the upper side of that goes into the TB it’s right next to that side

 

[BHamm]

Ok, hmm. So with the BMS instructions they say to use the TMAP Sensor. Do i need more than that?

No that’s only if u don’t have the bung to tap into. Since u have it just tap into the mishimoto. U need to find out the thread of the nozzle/sprayer that bms provided and find a drill and tap set to tap into the charge pipe

And airflow if the stock setup is restrictive.

They definitely do help with heat soak. But they can also produce more power from having better flow/less restriction.

Who did you order the IC through? Curious as a fellow CDN.

So, primarily, the intercooler's main purpose is to provide better cooling and more volume for the charged air system. When you're increasing the boost either via tunes or bigger turbos, this is needed to make the most out of the increased performance. These are also characteristics that increase power in general, too. On a speed density tuned vehicle, like the Stinger, it's typically less likely that we see power increases on a stock tune, but in this case we did record 8 HP/TQ gains on the stock tune, and 6 HP and 8 TQ in addition to the stage 1 tune we installed.

That all said, direct power gains aren't the main objective when it comes to performance intercoolers. We're aiming for eliminating heat soak from the charged air system along with reducing restriction so that you can make the best out of tunes and turbos

Yep! we incorporated a bung next to the throttle body with this exact application in mind!

TDOT Performance.

Has anyone here tested using the TMAP Vs the Bung location for mounting the WMI?
