Just got my Race Fmic back from the anodizers and thought I would post a few pics of it on the car
sorry pictures are ****ty and I took them early in the morning when I was at work
here ya go


my project slealth is almost done now someone just needs to sell me a lip thats made out of polyurethane

 

Pretty slick man!

What did that run you to have done if you dont mind me asking.

 

Wow that is awesome, I wanted to do this my self (the blackedout look). Where did you get it done? Price? Is that the Buschur race front mount or what? Looks great though

 

hmmmm looks familiar..... https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=181294

Lookin Good.

Jarrod,

I sent dave some info a while a ago in my review about a local shop to you guys who does annodizing. most places charge between 45-65 for an intercooler.

 

Hey J ,
thanks for dealing with all my BS over the phone when you guys were waiting on endtanks... INSTALL took me less than an hour ... piece of cake..
I paid 55 bucks to get it anodized.. as I get some discounts from the a place here in jackson... I am sure any anodizer in your area would do it for less than 100 bucks... Most expensive part was the caps that he had to buy, because basically he had to fill the IC full or water first so that it would SINK in his tanks he kept on telling me damn "that cooler there sure do hold a lot of water" hahahaha

 

Looks good, but the front shot doesn't look like it's very black....probably just the lighting. Any chance you'll be able to snap some in the daylight?

I would have liked to see the intercooler dyno'd without the coating, and then again with it after......

 

Very nice. Would like to see some more pics in daylight. Also interested in how much and where you had it done.

 

yes I WILL get some pics of it during the day when it is cleaner and you can see more detail...
the whole process is quite interesting... but one draw back is that if there are ANY blemishes on the IC they will show up significantly more in a negative way on the IC .
As far as dyno numbers I have no idea whether this will increase/decrease... BUT IN theory it should not affect the cooling properties of the IC as anodizing changes the metal on a molecular scale... so that it can accept dye... Unlike painting your IC which in somecases could act like a blanket for your IC ... just my two cents I am sure someone will chime in

 

Daylight pics would be nice

 

Get some more daytime pictures, looks great.

 

ok my boss just left I am going outside to grab some pictures right now
be back in a few minutes

 

ok I'm back
here ya go now excuse the fact that the POS is dirty and my lip is about to fall off






enjoy

 

how does this affect the performance?

 

now that sh*t looks hot... all blacked out

 

thanks
as far as performance goes... whether it is an increase or a decrease I can't tell because I don't know but I doubt it hinders performance... it just gets rid of the "hey look at me I am big front mount come race me please" That is what I wanted to get rid off because I was so tired of dealing with the stupid kids in this town that think they have to race me to prove something.
