G3 WRX EJ25
The Process West Front Mount Intercooler Kit for the 08-14 Subaru WRX comes complete with a 620 x 255 x 90mm bar & plate intercooler core, featuring high-flow polished aluminium end tanks. This ensures smooth airflow and efficient cooling of the charge air entering the engine. Combined with mandrel-bent aluminium piping, this Front Mount Intercooler Kit provides one of the finest off-the-shelf options available for the 08-14 WRX.
Features:
Core Size: 620 x 275 x 90mm
Lightweight CNC mandrel-bent aluminium intercooler piping
High-flow cast upswept intercooler end tanks for optimal flow distribution across the intercooler core
ORIGINAL INTERCOOLING:
Through computer modeling and real-world testing of the factory Subaru Top Mount Intercooler, it has been observed that while it cools effectively in short bursts, a lack of exit air path from the bottom side of the intercooler creates a congestion of hot air in the engine bay. This congestion rapidly diminishes intercooler efficiency during demanding conditions. Increasing the size of the stock mount intercooler improves heat-soak resistance but fails to address the crucial aspect of effectively removing heated air from the intercooler body.
A front mount intercooler (FMIC) offers several advantages for a vehicle's performance and engine efficiency:
Increased Cooling Efficiency: The primary function of an intercooler is to cool down the compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine. A front mount intercooler provides a larger surface area and more efficient cooling compared to stock or top mount intercoolers. This allows for a denser and cooler intake charge, resulting in improved combustion and increased power output.
Reduced Heat Soak: Heat soak occurs when the intercooler becomes overwhelmed by excessive heat, leading to a decrease in cooling efficiency. Front mount intercoolers are typically larger and have better airflow, which helps dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the risk of heat soak. This is particularly beneficial during prolonged high-performance driving or in hot weather conditions.
Lower Intake Air Temperatures: Cooler intake air temperatures result in denser air, which leads to a more efficient combustion process. This can improve throttle response, reduce turbo lag, and increase overall engine performance.
Improved Airflow: Front mount intercoolers are positioned in the front of the vehicle, where they can benefit from direct airflow. This improves the efficiency of the intercooler by ensuring a constant flow of cool air, even at high speeds or during prolonged periods of hard driving.
Potential for Increased Boost Levels: With the improved cooling capacity of a front mount intercooler, the engine can handle higher boost levels without the risk of detonation or overheating. This opens up opportunities for increased power and performance gains through tuning and modifications.
