PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
After months of engineering and development, cp-e™ is proud to release the ΔCore TMIC for the Subaru WRX. The stock intercooler does an excellent job for the everyday driver that doesn’t want to modify their car. However, once you find that itch to go faster, the intercooler is a must-have modification.
cp-e™ started off by determining the maximum size core that could fit without irreversible modification to the vehicle. Our ΔCore TMIC uses the bar and plate design to help ensure a high level of efficiency.
cp-e™ then set their sights on designing the perfect TMIC end tanks, developing a design that not only encloses the monstrous core, but also requires no cutting, no drilling, and no permanent modification to the vehicle. With the cast-in-place brackets, the intercooler will mount in the stock location while matching up to the stock intercooler piping. Customers can now upgrade their piping when their power demands need it and modify in smaller increments.
As always, the cp-e™ intercooler includes cast end tanks that are welded and pressure tested with the core. What sets these end tanks from the rest is the engineering behind their shape and internal design. Hours of design and computer flow diagrams have been put into the tanks’ design to virtually eliminate turbulence within them. Many times, upgrading an intercooler causes increased turbo-lag and an overall pressure loss. This is because of the large size of the core and the turbulence within the end tanks. By designing the end tanks to be smaller, and more efficient cp-e™ has found a way to minimalize turbulence in order to keep the drivability of the car high, while still enlarging the intercooler drastically.
The internal design of the end tanks directs the air to bring the most optimal airflow as well as an even distribution throughout the core. In intercoolers, the back half of the core only does 25% of the cooling. The end tanks have been designed to direct the air properly into the core for the most even cooling, giving the vehicle the most consistent conditions going into the engine.
Fully Optimized Core Size
In order to build one of the most efficient intercooler designs possible, cp-e set out to make the largest core available. To accomplish this, we’ve maximized every single square inch of usable space under the stock valence. This is evident in the core design with recesses for a perfect fit, yet largest size physically possible without permanent modification to the vehicle.
Fully Cast End Tanks
When durability and high horsepower are the main goals, nothing beats casting. Cut and weld sections just don’t have close to the reliability of a cast piece. The problem is that casting is too expensive and out of reach for many manufacturers. With the ultimate product as our end goal, we only accept fully cast end tanks for all of our intercoolers.
Turbulence Reduction Fins
When creating an intercooler, the goal is to maximize both the size and usage of the core. Our turbulence reduction fins work to distribute air evenly inside the core. This keeps the core cooling at optimal efficiency and utilizes every inch of the core.
