Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 Front Mount Intercooler Kit – VB WRX FA24 Intake Manifold
Upgrade the charge-air cooling system of your 2022+ Subaru WRX VB FA24 with the Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 Front Mount Intercooler Kit, specifically designed for vehicles equipped with a compatible aftermarket FA24 intake manifold.
This version of the Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 FMIC Kit is designed around the altered throttle-body position of the compatible upgraded intake manifold. The revised piping configuration allows the intercooler system to connect directly to the intake manifold without requiring an additional adaptor pipe.
IMPORTANT – Check Compatibility Before Ordering
This version is designed specifically for use with the compatible upgraded VB FA24 intake manifold and is NOT compatible with the factory intake manifold.
The upgraded intake manifold places the throttle body in a different position compared with the factory configuration. The Tyrant4x4 intercooler piping is specifically designed to accommodate this revised position, providing a cleaner and more direct connection between the front mount intercooler and intake manifold.
If your VB WRX currently has the factory intake manifold, choose the Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 FMIC configuration designed for factory-intake fitment instead.
If you intend to install the compatible upgraded intake manifold at a later stage, check whether an appropriate adaptor solution is available for your specific intercooler configuration.
High-Capacity 525 x 350 x 75mm Core
The Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 FMIC uses a 525 x 350 x 75mm intercooler core designed to provide increased cooling capacity for the turbocharged FA24 engine.
The core features a high-density internal fin structure designed to improve heat transfer while maintaining efficient airflow through the intercooler.
By effectively managing charge-air temperatures, the intercooler is designed to support more consistent performance during spirited driving, increased boost and sustained engine load.
High-Flow Cast Aluminium End Tanks
The intercooler features high-flow cast aluminium end tanks designed to distribute charge air across the available core surface efficiently.
Balanced airflow through the intercooler is important for effective heat transfer. The end-tank design helps provide a smooth transition into the core and promotes consistent charge-air distribution.
Precision CNC Mandrel-Bent Aluminium Piping
The kit includes lightweight CNC mandrel-bent aluminium intercooler piping designed specifically around the compatible upgraded intake manifold.
Mandrel bending helps maintain a consistent internal diameter through the bends, reducing unnecessary restrictions within the charge-air path.
The piping is engineered to provide a clean fitment between the front mount intercooler and the revised throttle-body position of the compatible intake manifold.
Retain the Factory Crash Bar
The intercooler is positioned deeper within the engine bay to allow the factory crash bar to remain installed on compatible vehicles.
This provides a practical front mount intercooler upgrade without requiring the removal of the factory crash bar.
Bolt-On Installation
The Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 FMIC Kit is designed for a bolt-on installation on compatible 2022+ VB WRX applications.
The installation does not require permanent front bumper cutting or modification in the intended configuration.
The kit includes vehicle-specific mounting components, silicone couplers and stainless steel hose clamps to simplify installation.
Silicone Couplers & Stainless Steel Clamps
The kit includes durable silicone couplers for connecting the intercooler piping and charge-air components.
Stainless steel hose clamps are supplied to provide secure connections throughout the system and help withstand the heat and pressure associated with turbocharged FA24 applications.
Designed for Modified FA24 Builds
This Stage 1 FMIC configuration is particularly suited to VB WRX owners who have already upgraded, or are planning to upgrade, the intake manifold.
The revised piping layout eliminates the need to rely on a generic intercooler configuration and provides a purpose-built connection between the intercooler and compatible aftermarket intake manifold.
