Socks Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 They help stock heat soak... Makes NO difference when your going tho... So if your sat in traffic.... Stood Still, with no airflow... They will help marginally... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Wicked, well as u guys have seen, my new cooler is black already !!!!Yay, extra thousand bhpIs very interesting experiment, nice find russ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Be good for people sitting up the strip at Santa pod. But being black it will also absorb heat as well as radiate it. So could have an adverse effect sitting in a hot engine bay. Also needs to be kept out of direct sunlight to maximise it's worth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 be way better if you didnt paint and spray with waterjets on the shiny cooler when at wot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Exactly, mines stealth and black and will remain that way, water jets are being added friday also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Load of bollocks IMO, by the time they sprayed it the outside temperature could have changed so it's hardly a scientific test, and either way the difference when there's air going through it is minimal, and that's what's important. The only reason you'd really spray an intercooler black is to hide it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teta Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 i dont think its bollocks in theory black should work better,but there are many variables that come into play,most things are discovered by accident & we benefit from there by product eg wort +yeast= alcohol+c02 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
