The GrimmSpeed 90227 Front Mount Intercooler Kit is engineered for the 2008-2014 Subaru STI, delivering exceptional performance and reliability. This intercooler is designed to optimize the cooling efficiency of your turbocharged engine while maintaining low pressure drop, crucial for maximizing power output.
The heart of the 90227 is its 27"x11"x4" cross-flow core, constructed using a durable bar and plate design. This configuration strikes the ideal balance between heat rejection and pressure drop, ensuring your engine operates at optimal temperatures even under demanding conditions. The core is complemented by beautifully crafted cast aluminum end tanks, which facilitate equal flow distribution and minimize pressure loss.
Installation is straightforward, thanks to robust steel mounting brackets that prevent movement during aggressive driving. The design of the 90227 allows for a large core without the need for permanent modifications to the chassis. However, light bumper cutting is necessary to accommodate the intercooler, and a fog light delete is required for 2008-2010 style bumpers. This kit is compatible with factory or GrimmSpeed intakes, although removal of the snorkel is required for proper fitment.
The included piping kit is made from thick .090" wall, 2.5" diameter 6061 aluminum. Each pipe is bead rolled and CNC mandrel bent with large radius bends to maximize airflow and ensure precise fitment. The piping is coated in a durable red or black wrinkle powder finish, providing both aesthetic appeal and protection against corrosion. Additionally, 5-ply silicone couplers and Breeze Hi-Torque liner clamps ensure secure connections that can withstand high boost pressures.
