But don't you want an intercooler to reflect heat? i.e. not get hot? Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

You need heat transfer to cool the air.

I still don't get it. You want the inside to absork heat and the ouside to reject it?

You want the inside to absork heat and the ouside to reject it? No, heat will only travel from the hot side to the cold side. Think of it as volts, current and a resistor. Volts is the temperature difference, resistance is the inverse of thermal conductivity and the current is the heat transfer. To increase the current (heat transfer) you need either higher voltage differencial (temperature difference) or higher thermal conductivity. Shiny surfaces restrict heat transfer either from the metal side to the air or vice versa.

thing is the aluminium is still there under the paint that reflects the heat back out.

sounds like its worth .5 of a nats whisker. Will it not get chipped and then look shite? I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I might just take the shine off the pipe between the compressor and the intercooler, if I get the time. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Are you intending for it to be road legal ??? Ummm... haven't decided yet. It certainly will not be pleasant to drive, particularly for the passenger as there is no seat! The wiring is in for all the lights etc. Need to add wipers and change the screen for a glass one, plus lots of little jobs. In the end, it not that much different from a lot of the more radical road legal machines on here. Maybe next year.

This afternoons job is to weld sensor bosses to the pipes so that I can log pressures and temperatures in and out. I would have preferred to mount the intercooler to the drivers side but could not find anything off the shelf that would be suitable.

Main jobs to do are: Downpipe - make Exhaust - fit Gear lever - connect and check works - make reverse detent Sample chamber pipes - make Battery/Alternator wiring - fit Handbrake - No idea yet Harness fixings Throttle cable - make Breathers - make Tank - fix Fan - fit Front end - cut to fit. Then take it all apart and fit it all together properly as it's all temporary at the moment. Not a lot :( I assume you only need to cut the front end around where the intercooler is, or have you replaced the front end? Thats a days work, come on man, pull your finger out.

It's just around the intercooler that it needs cutting, not a lot.
