It is highly recommended that the customer be able to retune the vehicle’s ECU after installing the intercooler kit. Power gains will vary depending on the size of the turbo, exhaust system, fuel system, and type of ECU tune that is applied to the vehicle. This kit is rated for approximately 700 whp, or 30 psi of turbo boost. Exceeding these horsepower or pressure limits could require a custom-size front-mount intercooler.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1266\" height=\"943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/san-GhW66Jk\" title=\"Front-Mount Intercooler Kit fits 2008–2014 Subaru WRX Features \u0026amp; Benefits\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Mishimoto Subaru WRX\/STI Front-Mount Intercooler Testing\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U7M7CPEzbLk\" height=\"943\" width=\"1266\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned for applications that demand the greatest airflow and cooling capabilities, the Mishimoto STI Front-Mount Intercooler Kit will provide your Subaru with the ability to make the most horsepower and torque possible. The Mishimoto STI intercooler was designed with a robust bar-and-plate intercooler core that provides the maximum cooling capability without excessive pressure drops that will wear out any turbocharger over time. The Mishimoto STI intercooler features smooth cast end tanks that are CFD tested for maximum airflow with no sharp walls or bends from cut-and-weld end tanks that disrupt airflow. The intercooler provides the best airflow and heat-exchange properties for those time-attack laps or a 10-second blast down the quarter-mile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe kit contains everything needed for a worry-free installation, including an application-specific crash bar that both supports the intercooler and mounts to existing points on the vehicle. No cutting or drilling is required to install the crash bar and intercooler. The 2008–2014 Subaru STI Front-Mount Intercooler and Crash Beam kit also includes all of the necessary hardware for a simple installation and is ready for custom piping.

Wrong! We haven’t tested this intercooler out yet! Now, we have conducted a ton of CFD and core research which has provided us with a very high probability of success. However, we believe in testing all of our products to provide real-world data that our customers can use to base their purchasing decisions on. This product is going to present some challenges for data presentation. Enthusiasts upgrading to a front-mount intercooler have such a variance in modifications and power output that it is very difficult to provide data that will apply to everyone. Our plan is to evaluate the efficiency of the cooler on a mildly built vehicle. This efficiency can then be used to analyze the results of this cooler on a variety of vehicles running different boost pressures, turbochargers, engine internal modifications and tunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"construction\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"post-thumbnail\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; height: auto; max-width: 100%; max-height: 572px; display: block; margin: 72px auto 0px; width: 1038px;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/GR-STI-Dyno-7.jpg?fit=600%2C450\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/GR-STI-Dyno-7.jpg?fit=300%2C225\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-image-caption=\"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Mishimoto GR STI on the dyno \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image-description=\"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Mishimoto GR STI on the dyno \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image-title=\"Mishimoto GR STI on the dyno\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"3.2\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"KODAK EASYSHARE Camera, Z5120\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1396527376\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"4.7\",\"iso\":\"400\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0.1\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"1\"}' data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-orig-size=\"4608,3456\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/GR-STI-Dyno-7.jpg?fit=4608%2C3456\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2014\/10\/mishimoto-subaru-wrxsti-fmic-kit-part-7-cooler-efficiency-testing\/gr-sti-dyno-7\/\" data-attachment-id=\"1550\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/GR-STI-Dyno-7.jpg?resize=1038%2C572\u0026amp;ssl=1 1038w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/GR-STI-Dyno-7.jpg?zoom=2\u0026amp;resize=1038%2C572\u0026amp;ssl=1 2076w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/GR-STI-Dyno-7.jpg?zoom=3\u0026amp;resize=1038%2C572\u0026amp;ssl=1 3114w\" alt=\"\" class=\"attachment-twentyfourteen-full-width size-twentyfourteen-full-width wp-post-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/GR-STI-Dyno-7.jpg?resize=1038%2C572\u0026amp;ssl=1\" height=\"572\" width=\"1038\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cheader class=\"entry-header\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"entry-title\"\u003eMISHIMOTO SUBARU WRX\/STI FMIC KIT, PART 7: COOLER EFFICIENCY TESTING\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entry-meta\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"entry-date\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2014\/10\/mishimoto-subaru-wrxsti-fmic-kit-part-7-cooler-efficiency-testing\/\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2014-10-09T17:01:24-04:00\" class=\"entry-date\"\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entry-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are nearing the end of this build.

As you can see from the chart, the front-mount intercooler is much larger than essentially any top-mount cooler on the market. Our front-mount cooler provides a 73% increase in internal flow area compared to the stock intercooler. This increase in area will be invaluable to those who are modifying their engines, running high boost pressures, and\/or subjecting their vehicles to repeated high-rpm pulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext up is a comparison of actual core volume. Core volume is a measure of the entirety of the core, which includes the air passages, bars, tubes, fins, etc. As with Internal flow area, this chart shows benefits which have a similar effect on heat transfer.

This data is graphed to show the increases in temperature (inlet and outlet) relative to boost pressure during our pulls. This is graphed over a full pull through the rpm range with boost peaking around 19 psi and tapering to 15 psi. At the start of the pull, we see drops around 40°F from the inlet to the outlet, placing temperatures within 15 degrees of ambient air. As the pull progresses, our drops increase to over 130°F. So what does this mean for you?

We obtained 70%–85% efficiency throughout our pull! These are fantastic numbers for a front-mount setup. As a comparison, from our previous tests, we have shown that the stock intercooler provides around 60% efficiency on our completely stock 2010 STI. Unfortunately we did not collect efficiency information on the stock TMIC on our STI after we installed the modifications used for this test. We can assume that it will be far less than the 60% shown on the testing of the stock vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, that makes this project a complete success. We have developed a direct-fit front-mount intercooler setup that provides extremely efficient drops in intake temperatures and is designed to support vehicles with substantial horsepower and boost pressures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow that we were finished with development and testing, it was time to review our goals and ensure our final product meets or exceeds them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProject Goals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop a bolt-on kit for fitment on all generations of the WRX\/STi.
