the thing with emissivity is it works both ways. im not familar with the d22 setup but if the cooler is close to the motor or is subject to high under bonnet temps it will absorb that radiant heat...
Etch primer and acrylic black, relatively light coats. 1 of each
theres a video test from the guys at MCM between bare alloy and painted black intercooler. (im sure i saw a discussion on here...
Im fully aware of the downside to buying a cheap copy, and have no doubt genuine products use superior polymers but it sure seems like that page is written by someone with financial or other interest...

Finshed off the intercooler and its working a treat (even without a scoop) seeing a steady 35 degrees Iat.

Thats why im leaning towards the subie scoop aswell, they are nice and tall and should suit width ways. I also looked at a plastic scoop in super cheap which looked okay.
Update time. ive been abit lazy lately but got a fair bit done in the last week or so.
The biggest job was installing a new stereo. 4 channel amp and 4 new 6.5 inch splits. super duper happy with...
Thanks for the replies fellas.

Hello fellow patrolites.

Thats i neat spot, im just going to go right in the centre above the aircon vents.
