Description

We are proud to introduce the CorkSport Front Mount Intercooler Kit for the 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed 6. This kit centers around a large 21”x10”x3” bar & plate intercooler that will remedy the heat soak headache that is the stock TMIC. To get the boost to and from the core is mandrel-bent aluminum piping that is 2.25” on the hot side and 2.5” to 3” on the cold side. This piping setup has proven itself to be the best combination of quick throttle response, flow capacity, and minimal boost lag. Tying everything together are custom wire-reinforced silicone couplers that are optimized for minimal flex under high boost levels. If you’re ready to take your MS6 to the next level, CorkSport is happy to help!

Large Core with Minimal Trimming:

The unique design and location of the CorkSport Mazdaspeed 6 FMIC ensures minimal trimming during installation. By placing the 21”x10”x3” core behind the crash bar, no trimming to the crash bar is needed. With both inlet and outlet of the intercooler facing the driver’s side, you do not need to relocate your windshield washer bottle. Trimming is still required, however, we have minimized it as much as we can, leaving almost all trimming to plastic parts, with the only metal trimming occurring on a thin bracket.


Performance Focused:

The main benefit of the CS FMIC for the Speed 6 is vastly improved charge air cooling. By moving the intercooler to the front of the vehicle, there is now a direct air path to the intercooler to cool off the boosted air, and you don’t have to worry about the heat of your engine heat soaking your TMIC. Plus, with its large size, the CorkSport MS6 FMIC will efficiently cool off your boost all the way up to 500-550 WHP!


Optimized Piping:

The large CS Speed6 FMIC is the obvious performance gain but there are more performance benefits to be had with the piping design. By using a 2.25” hot side pipe, the boosted air can make its way quickly to the intercooler. Then, the cold side pipe is 2.5” in the first half and 3” in the second half. This increases the volume of cold charge air directly in front of the throttle body. This is a proven piping setup on the CorkSport GEN2 MS3 FMIC kit that offers the best combination of throttle response, flow capacity, and minimal boost lag.


Reinforced Silicone:

In order to offer the best fitment, there are some longer-than-typical silicone couplers with the CS MS6 FMIC kit. All of the silicone couplers use 4-ply nylon reinforcement along with 5 layers of silicone; however, any run of silicone longer than about 6” also uses metal wire reinforcement. This is something new specifically for the MS6 kit to ensure strong silicone sections that do not expand at high boost pressures, even on the long sections of silicone!


Materials & Hardware:

All the piping for the CorkSport FMIC Kit is made from polished, mandrel-bent aluminum for the best in appearance and function. The silicone couplers use black for a clean look in any engine bay. Each kit comes with stainless steel T-bolt clamps to ensure no boost leaks or couplers blowing off of pipes. Finally, all brackets, mounting hardware, and full-color instructions needed for install are included with the MS6 FMIC kit!

Having tried a few kits (CX racing, treadstone) this kit is by far the best choice for a MS6. It requires a few easy modifications to the radiator support but overall the install is not bad at all. I recommend trimming your crash bar to increase air flow to the core. If you get and aftermarket clutch line it will make the install even easier. The space that the hot and cold side has to go right under the intake is a bit tight but it fits. I'm have a built motor, big turbo (CST6) and aux fuel, the core in this kit is sufficient to keep boost temps reasonable even after a few pulls.

Not to go over the top, but I think this is probably the most complete and best FMIC kit available for the Mazdaspeed 6 today. The color step by step instructions really help take the edge off with a larger install like this. Every part in the kit (pipes, intercooler, bracket, silicone couplers...even hardware) is top notch and included. I had no dreaded emergency run to the hardware store which seems so common with other companies. CorkSport was 100% complete. Performance wise my BATs (boost air temps) are so much better, very close to ambient temps and my tuner was explaining how much happier the engine in my MS6 is now because of it. This was well worth the money and time to get it on my car.

Corksport knocked it out the park with this, as always clear install instructions clean fitment, highly recommend this for all Speed 6s!

Unwrapping this thing was so exciting. Every part is so shiny and beautiful. The install was really straight forward, if you’re handy with a dremel it is a breeze. The fit and finish of everything I’ve received from Corksport has been top notch, it’s why I keep coming back. If you’re looking for the best off the shelf FMIC kit, this is it. The only part I don’t like about the way my car came together is the air filter from the CS 3.5” intake hits the hot side piping causing the filter to kink slightly. It’s just an appearance thing, and I’m not convinced it isn’t installer error.

Very easy to install and the instructions were awsome! They say it takes five hours to install but it only took me about four. It looks so good up front too. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to see it through the lower grill but it shines like a diamond and ultimately changed the look of my speed6! 12/10!!!

Great Kit, well written documents and a fairly straight forward install. Take your time and all will be well. One slight wrinkle, Blowoff valve recirc tube not really mentioned and was a source of grief because doing an install on a weekend with no access to the right part, had to rig it. The moving of the bov location made my non stock hose too short...really wished the kit included a recirc hose that cork sells, but I only found it on the ms3 section.

The FMIC installation took about 4-5 hours at a leisurely pace. My time was prolonged over that when trying to solve the catch can and drain plug issues. I’d easily recommend this kit to anyone looking for an all-in-one FMIC solution on the Mazdaspeed6. Be sure to pressure test before wrapping up – I didn’t and found a coupler had started to work loose after I messed around getting onto the freeway and pissed off a 2018 Mustang GT owner.
