While the 8Y features a large core from the factory, the intercooler has proven to be substantially undersized for enthusiasts pushing the limits of their vehicle. By utilizing previously unclaimed space behind the upper grille, the engineers at ECS Tuning have increased core size by over 130% and internal cross-sectional area by over 150%. Additionally, intake and outlet end tanks are revised to improve even flow distribution throughout the core and are fully machined to provide a smooth air transition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDESIGN:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D CAD modeling allows for optimal intercooler positioning and maximum core volume without requiring any modification to surrounding components (no drilling or cutting required). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlet and outlet end tanks are optimized using Computational Fluid Dynamics, allowing our engineers to ensure maximum flow from the charge pipe to the intercooler core. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast aluminum end tanks are TIG welded to the core and feature machined transmissions for uninterrupted maximum airflow. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur intercooler design is pressure tested to 4.5 BAR (65 psi) to ensure reliability in the most extreme applications. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum Straight Vane Bar and Plate Core (1305in.³ internal core volume) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower Core: 22.1in x 10.83in x 4.5in (561mm x 275mm x 114.3mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper Core: 22.1in x 4.5in x 2.3in (561mm x 114.3mm x 59mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKEY BENEFITS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced intake temperatures and air turbulence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased airflow capacity over the factory unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMates directly with OEM intercooler piping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses OEM grommets and mounting locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires no modification to surrounding components - installation is completely reversible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINSTALLATION \u0026amp; SUPPORT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ECS Tuning Front Mount Intercooler Kit includes a mounting bracket, screws, washers, and spacers for seamless installation. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstructions are included for easy installation!
