Message "It will surface area has nothing to do with whether it will transfer heat."

Please talk to the guys who design radiators, intercoolers, air conditioning condensers, heater cores, and any other thing meant to shed a meaningful amount of heat. They clearly have no idea who this stuff works.

Stupid nissan... Surface area has nothing to do with it.

"good bit hotter than the ambient air."
have any measurements? you do know that 150 degree aluminum will "feel" a lot hotter than 150 degree air, right?

"amount of heat removed is worth the price tag is up to the owner to decide."
How is anyone supposed to decide if it's worth it, when no one has any idea if it accomplishes anything at all? I didn't say it didn't work, I said it was untested.


........and that all rational arguments seem to indicate it won't work in any practically significant way (notable drop in intake charge temp, or increase in cooling system heat dissipation capacity.)

and before anyone says it, "cooler to the touch" is a completely worthless indicator for a multitude of reasons, for which if at least a few are not readily apparent you really need to do some more research before getting into this discussion.


If you coat every part on the car, great. Have at it. Get that last .0000001 percent out of the intake manifold. If you coat your intake manifold before your intercoolers if the cost and effort are similar, you are nuts.

Putting AMS garbage, and $500 ebay wheels on a Z is like
dressing a Victorias Secret model in a Walmart dress and
Payless shoes. You're embarrassing yourself.
