Has anyone blown up a Mishimoto intercooler?
- Thread starter schulte
- Start date
I have a couple of them out there but nothing more than 60-70psi.
They look sexy too :thumb:
well im not pushing a crap load of boost or anything (60psi) but its holding up good and seems to work better than stock. its definitely built way better than stock lol
What deciding is there to do with Spearco's when there are plenty of pictures proving they blow open?
Banks, BD or mishimoto... notice how all the ones that are holding up are cast end tanks..

Have heard about spearco fixing them by adding rods but ok banks or mishimoto
Watched a few of the videos and the only part that stood out for it not being a direct bolt in was removal/reinstall of the condenser mount.

X2, I blew 2 of them apart in 1 day about 8hrs apart! Sheet metal flex under pressure way to much for the cycling we put them through, plain and simple. I really link the Banks coolers, haven't had any fail yet.
Hey guys,
It would be quite a challenge to generate enough boost to destroy one of our coolers. We were actually interested in this ourselves and put together a neat test video to see how much pressure a stock plastic end tank intercooler could handle as well as one of our fully aluminum intercoolers. Although this is a 6.0L Powerstroke cooler, a similar comparison could be made with any of our intercoolers.

As you can see the stock cooler blew right around 100 psi of pressure. The end tank essentially exploded and separated from the core. The Mishimoto intercooler took 125 psi without issue, which is the maximum pressure we see from our compressor.
Now, this does not account for the effect of heat, but still provides a good idea of the capabilities of both the stock and Mishimoto intercooler. Additionally we have a few shops running our coolers at 100 psi for quite some time without any issues at all.

well thats a ford 6.0 stock part. we all now that crap fails :roflmao:
I was impressed the stock ford one held that much psi.

We were also quite surprised by the strength of the factory unit. It would be neat to put together a second test with a GM intercooler to see how it holds up. We have an LML coming into the shop in the next few weeks for development, I wonder if the vehicle owner would mind us destroying his factory intercooler?
Thanks for checking it out guys. :thumb:
