GrimmSpeed 90254 Front Mount Intercooler Kit

The GrimmSpeed 90254 Front Mount Intercooler Kit is engineered for serious performance enthusiasts who demand optimal cooling efficiency for their turbocharged Subaru engines. This intercooler kit is designed specifically for the 2008-2014 Subaru STI, ensuring a seamless fit and superior performance without compromising on quality.

Core Design and Construction

At the heart of the 90254 is a 27"x11"x4" cross-flow core, constructed from durable bar and plate materials. This design strikes a balance between low pressure drop and high heat rejection, critical factors for maintaining engine performance under boost. The core's custom design benefits from over a decade of engineering expertise, allowing for exceptional airflow and cooling capabilities.

End Tanks and Mounting

The cast aluminum end tanks are meticulously designed to facilitate equal flow distribution while minimizing pressure drop. This enhances the overall efficiency of the intercooler. The kit includes robust steel mounting brackets that provide a secure installation, preventing movement even during aggressive driving. Notably, the installation requires no permanent modifications to the chassis, although light cutting of the bumper is necessary to accommodate the large core. A fog light delete is required for 2008-2010 bumpers.

Piping Features

The accompanying piping kit is crafted from thick .090" wall, 2.5" diameter 6061 aluminum, ensuring durability and lightweight performance. Each pipe is bead rolled and CNC mandrel bent, optimizing flow with large radius bends. The pipes come coated in a resilient red or black wrinkle powder finish, providing both protection against corrosion and a visual match to other GrimmSpeed components. Additionally, the kit includes custom-molded 5-ply silicone couplers and Breeze Hi-Torque clamps for a secure and reliable connection.
