ArcTec34 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 This isn't a concern, if it was a problem I am sure Subaru engineers would have addressed this ages ago when they started using hood scoops and top mount intercoolers. Think of all the Outback XTs driven by soccer moms across the continent, I doubt they have ever even considered this and for good reason...its not a problem thats cuz soccer moms dont notice the power loss.. only we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 yeah, like when you get in their car and 99% of the time it has 10 or less miles to go to empty. Or the classic, you get in the car and the Check Engine or Oil Light is on and when asked they say it's been on for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I've heard that a Porter Cable dual action with some intermediate compound will pull the soap right off the intercooler. The fins will come off too, but their just for decoration anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonardo Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I got soap in the intercooler and bubbles started coming out of the exhaust pipes. The kids loved it. WTLW!!! Well, finally, I went to the touchless car wash and I guess week after week of it finally melted something because when it was done and I pulled out to dry it, there were bubbles coming from the mufflers and no boost. Anyone knows if the AVO or Perrin is immune to this? Guess I should have like the original poster! Oh wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBoy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't know why you guys don't just select the FAST speed on the IC wiper when entering the carwash?!? (Intermitent let's too much soap coagulate between the finnular structures) Do it right the first time.........or don't bother doing it at all.

DukeTrout Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I've missed this thread and its ilk! You certainly don't want to get ilk on your intercooler. That's even worse than soap!

Ssej Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 ^^ Refrigerating fuel additives makes their octane value increase as well, which is why many places like 7-11 stock NOS octane booster by the energy drinks... Same reason your car feels faster in colder weather, and why people get cold air intakes! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/aktion/action-smiley-072.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
