Re: Heard about a cool evo build?

Would the inlet side and intercooler piping benefit from the thermal dispersant coating though like the intake manifold does? Would seem to make sense, since its suppose to pull heat out of something where powder coat traps it in.

Or does that thermal coating mainly work on heat exchanging things like a FMIC, Radiator, Oil Cooler, Intake Manifold, etc.

The thermal dispersant works best when there is any kind of airflow moving over it so whether or not we choose to use that coating, is pretty much application specific. In general though, we see +20-24% increase in cooling from the coating.

Actually the dispersant was originally designed for the military application of gun barrel cooling and was extremely effective. This technology eventually found its way into the automotive market as an aid for heat exchangers like oil coolers, radiators, and transmission coolers. Good stuff for sure.
