Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 Front Mount Intercooler – 2022+ Subaru WRX VB FA24
Improve charge-air cooling on your 2022+ Subaru WRX VB with the FA24 engine with the Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 Front Mount Intercooler.
Designed as a practical performance upgrade for the VB WRX, this front mount intercooler provides increased cooling capacity and efficient charge-air flow to help manage intake air temperatures during spirited driving, increased boost and sustained engine load.
With a 525 x 350 x 75mm intercooler core, high-flow cast aluminium end tanks and a vehicle-specific bolt-on design, the Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 FMIC provides a reliable foundation for both standard and modified FA24 applications.
High-Capacity 525 x 350 x 75mm Core
The Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 FMIC features a 525 x 350 x 75mm intercooler core, providing increased cooling surface area and thermal capacity compared with the factory intercooling arrangement.
The core incorporates a high-density internal fin design to increase the available heat-transfer surface while maintaining efficient airflow through the intercooler.
This helps the system dissipate heat from compressed charge air and maintain more controlled intake temperatures under demanding driving conditions.
High-Flow Cast Aluminium End Tanks
The intercooler is equipped with high-flow cast aluminium end tanks designed to distribute charge air efficiently across the core.
Effective end-tank design is important because uneven airflow can prevent sections of the intercooler from being used efficiently. The Tyrant4x4 end tanks are designed to provide a smooth transition into the core and support consistent airflow across its cooling surface.
Improved Charge-Air Temperature Management
Turbocharged engines generate additional heat as intake air is compressed. When intake temperatures rise, maintaining consistent performance can become more difficult, particularly during repeated acceleration and sustained engine load.
The Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 FMIC is designed to improve charge-air cooling and help control intake temperatures across a range of driving conditions.
Potential benefits include:
- Improved intake air temperature management
- More consistent performance during repeated pulls
- Improved charge-air cooling efficiency
- Support for tuned FA24 applications
- Consistent throttle response under demanding conditions
Actual performance and temperature improvements will depend on the vehicle’s tune, turbocharger, ambient temperature, fuel and other modifications.
Retain the Factory Crash Bar
One of the key design considerations of the Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 FMIC is its positioning within the vehicle.
The intercooler core is positioned deeper within the engine bay to allow the factory crash bar to remain in place when installed on compatible vehicles.
This provides an effective front mount intercooler upgrade without requiring removal of this important factory component.
Bolt-On Installation
The Tyrant4x4 Stage 1 Front Mount Intercooler is designed for a bolt-on installation on compatible 2022+ VB WRX applications.
No permanent front bumper cutting or modification is required for the intended installation configuration.
The kit includes the necessary installation hardware, helping simplify the upgrade process and providing a cleaner, vehicle-specific fitment.
Always confirm vehicle compatibility and installation requirements before purchasing.
Silicone Couplers & Stainless Steel Clamps
The kit includes silicone couplers designed to provide reliable connections within the charge-air system.
Stainless steel hose clamps are also supplied to securely fasten the connections and provide durability under turbocharged operating conditions.
