HKS Type-S Front Mount Intercooler 2006-2007 STI

Here, you are looking at the HKS Type-S FMIC kit for the 2006-2007 STI. 

Get the Turbine's Real Power and Increase Engine Torque!
All HKS Intercoolers improve both the efficiency and power of any turbocharged application by rapidly reducing inherent heat levels of the compressed intake air charge before entering the engine. By utilizing a special tube and fin design, the intercooler acts as a large heat exchanger that dissipates the heat generated by the compression of the intake charge without creating reductions in boost pressure or response.

Cooling Efficiency Improvement = Torque Increase
The cooling efficiency of an intercooler is affected by many factors including the frontal surface area of the core, cooling fin design and air flow through and over the core. HKS has increased the size of the core over stock to increase the air flow over the core.
New type cooling fin now offers improved heat radiation. Core end tanks have been designed to flow the compressed air evenly across the whole intercooler core. All these factors will maximize reduction of intake air temperature which increases air density. Increasing the range of fueling and ignition setting making it possible to deliver more power and torque.

Features

• Front mount intercooler kit with S-type core. (Core size : 600 x 244 x 65)
• New S-type core was developed only for GDB kit in order to improve response. Because front mount layout usually has a demerit of slow response.
• Pipe layout is designed as straight and short as possible. It enabled as quick boost response as stock intercooler.
• When a vehicle is stopped, stock top mount intercooler core keeps heat inside from the engine compartment and then, when the car starts, sometimes knocking occurs.
• Front mount intercooler decreases intake air temperature and it enables safe and reliable tuning.

Remarks

• ECU setting is required. (F-CON etc.)
• Racing Suction Reloaded (70020-AF103), which is sold separately, is required.
• Front Bumper and reinforcement needs to be modified.
• It is not possible to install stock Fog Lamp and recirculation valve. (Installation of HKS Super SQV is recommended.)
• It is possible to use with HKS Oil Cooler Kit (for applied model E 15004-AF006, for applied model F 15004-AF007). Modification of air guide is required.
• It does not fit to STI SPEC C (with Transmission Cooler, Engine Oil Cooler).
