Dramatically improve boost air temps and gain extra power potential with the CorkSport 2007-2009 Mazdaspeed 3 Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) Kit! The CorkSport GEN1 FMIC kit features a 23.5x6x3.5” aluminum bar and plate intercooler core and 2.25” aluminum mandrel bent piping. Each pipe has bead rolled ends and are joined by your choice of black, red, or blue silicone couplers with quality stainless steel T-bolt clamps. The CS FMIC kit has been developed specifically for the 2007-2009 MS3 and was designed and tested to integrate seamlessly with the CorkSport intakes. During our testing we found the front mount intercooler saw an average pressure drop of 1.5-2psi across the core and approximately 85% efficiency, for a great balance of greatly reduced boost air temperatures compared to the OEM top mount and minimal flow restriction!
*Upgrade to CS large core FMIC that can support 600+hp HERE.Improve horsepower, efficiency, and aesthetics with the CS Front Mount Intercooler Kit! Although top mount intercoolers do an okay job on stock cars and cars with mild upgrades, they can easily suffer from heat soak, especially on warmer days. Move the intercooler down to the front with the CS FMIC kit for improved style and cool temps! The intercooler core dimensions are 23.5x6x3.5” for the max size that will fit without serious modifications. Each intercooler is capped with custom cast end tanks that help distribute the boost air for great heat dissipation for builds up to 400whp. Happy boosting!
The CS FMIC kit is designed to fit like an OEM component. It mounts underneath the stock crashbar for an easy installation that adds a bit of performance without removing or modifying the crashbar. The FMIC kit also keeps all the factory front end features of the Mazdaspeed 3 without any changes, including fog lights and inner bumper structure.
Each FMIC kit comes with a custom piping kit, specifically designed for the GEN1 Mazdaspeed 3. Each pipe is manufactured from 2.25" polished aluminum that is mandrel bent and TIG welded for smooth airflow, long lasting strength, and great fitment on your speed. 2.25" diameter provides optimized spool times, without restriction to flow until you're making some serious power. All pipes are finished off with a rolled bead on each end to prevent couplers blowing off under boost. NOTE: A short ram intake is required for installation of the CorkSport FMIC piping. Basic CS SRI or CS "stage 2" will need to use the MAF coupler supplied with this kit. All other CS intakes are confirmed to fit; other brand intakes have not been verified.
The CS FMIC kit comes with reinforced silicone couplers for every joint. The couplers are designed to endure high boost pressures and increased temperatures for consistent and reliable performance. Each coupler is made from multi-layer silicone that is reinforced with multiple layers of nylon. Customize the look for your build by choosing red, blue, or black for your couplers and hoses.
Each silicone connection uses supplied stainless steel T-bolt clamps to ensure no boost leaks or couplers blowing off pipes. All required mounting brackets and hardware is included, along with our full color installation instructions to make everything go smoothly!
