Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
That looks great, just like mine ;D
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
What type of paint did you use?
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
Dupicolor 1200deg engine paint...it was chillin on the shelf and wasnt empty so it seemed perfect...
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
Damn that is sexy... I think I just might have to paint mine black also.
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
Black with the bumper support and that plasic thing========SUPER SEXY!!!
sorry im a big fan of sleepers...bright intercooler leads to questions like "what is that? a radiator?" |
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
excuse my stupidity, but does painting an intercoler detract from its ability to exchange heat at all?
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
looks nice. Just wondering, how difficult was it to get the 6" intercooler mounted on your crx? like what parts did you have to trim/grind off? I am debating on the 5" or 6". tia

Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
Not my taste dustin... flip it around.. bling it off ;)
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
hahahaha ;D bling bling
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
very nice! i love the sleeper look!
you should have chromed it tho! lol BLING BLING! ;D |
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
turbo hf it looks bad ass dude i think i might paint mine now :)
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
I wish there was some way someone could test airflow in comparing one or two layers of black pantyhose over teh FMIC or painting it black.
I always thought painting would clock up the folds because of the thickness of the paint. Either way, very cool, very sleeper... Big ups. |
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
haha, panty hose, that would have been even better.
I really like it, your car isn't a blingin car, it's got stock rims and dents, just like mine, our cars our both set up on a basis of power. the real question is, if you actively do things in order to avoid being a ricer (unblinging your car) are you yourself becoming a ricer? |
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
most "ricers" wouldnt know an intercooler from a A/C condensor (and maybe not even that). I think the only reason I'd try to hide an intercooler is to make the car less of a theft target.
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
there is this guy with a talon that works at the parts store up the street that was saying that some 'ricer honda kid' keeps asking him how he got his radiator so shinny :o hahahaha its a 30inch core with like 3inch end tanks on it...
anyway that is part of the reason i painted it, tons of stupid ass questions, then i wounder if they even believe the awnsers i tell them (like that i run up to 11psi on a Honda). its a toss up....maybe i should paint half of the intercooler ;) |
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
heh I've got people asking me about my shiny radiator quite a few times honestly lol. ;D

Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
bah shouldnt hurt performance enough to really make a difference. You only painted the "face" of the intercooler so the rest of the core can still do its job.

Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
I agree with GimpyCivic, thats a great way to keep those dirty thieves away :)
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
I should put a front mount air intake on and tell people it's a radiator.
|
Re:painted my 'tyrus' intercooler black....
That intercooler is super stealth, and I love it. ;)
