ankers Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Hiya my jporformance intercooler fins are damaged bad! Now I just wanna know if this will effect the performance of my turbo in anyway eg spool I will be replacing it but haven't got the fund's yet but here's the photo's http://imgur.com/Hxy0fJIhttp://imgur.com/ilWOoRA Quote
TurboTobz Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Its fine dudeYou can reshape fins it's painstaking google it its the same as doing it to a rad.I've read in a motocross bike manual they compressed air can even help going through the fins Quote
ankers Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Ok mate thanks will have a look now Quote
AdamB Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I would try and shape them using a thin flat blade screwdriver or a craftsman's knife, however I bet that the fins will just fall out as they are very brittle. It will certainly affect the cooling effect and your intake charge temps will likely be higher, that's what the fins are therefore is to help dissipate heat. It won't be doing no good either way, but unless you track the car and intake temps are a big factor in the running of your engine it probably isn't something worth worrying about massively. Quote
TurboTobz Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I use a couple of screw drivers flatblades down either side of the fins never really had any drop off on me but that is possible Quote
ankers Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Well theres is a load of fins missing so I think im gonna just save up for a new one its just passed it! Quote
