Subaru Front Mount Intercooler |
|

1.
The main purpose of getting a big ass front mount intercooler on a Subaru
is to be able to increase boost substantially. Plus the stock top mount
is prone to heat soak, resulting in less power.
|

2.
The piping is installed and makes a V shape inside the engine.
|

3.
We connect the driver side first since the pipe has to snake doan and
around the car.
|
|

4.
The SpeedLab kit comes with all required bolts brackets and clamps.
|

5.
We then install the pipes on the passenger side.
|

6.
The metal bumper support had to be cut away in the middle to make way
for the intercooler. We then bolt back the support on both sides.
|
|

7.
Here's a better view of the bumper support.
|

8.
The piping comes flanged for HKS SSQV. The reason for this is due to the
SSQV's compact size, so as no to hit the hood when closed.
|

9.
Here's the installed blow off valve and piping.
|
|

10.
You will be required to use an open type filter when installing a front
mount since the piping is in the way. A K&N or HKS filter will do
nicely.
|

11.
For bug-eyed subies, the black part of the bumper has to be trimmed away.
The last generation GD Subarus have the black trim removal.
|

12.
We still managed to install the stock foglights on the Subaru. And here's
the final menacing look.
