supra_si Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Before i fit my intercooler i would like to clean the fins up a little as they have salt etc on them, is it able to be washed off or pressure washed or even compressed air? i have cleaned the exterior up pretty damn well but just want to get rid of the stuff on the fins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 when im washing mine i give it a blast with the hose through the front bumper and it works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 cool i didnt know if it would make it rust thats all, not sure of what the fins are made of on the greddy 2 row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 If I had the intercooler removed I would use hot soap water first. Be cautious if you're going to blast it with the hose, the fins can be fragile. If you did this on a old stock intercooler it would just crumble.

tooquicktostop Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Dont blast with a jet spray as it may damage the fins of an older intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
