The Mazdaspeed 3 Top Mount Intercooler. Cast end tanks and a high flow intercooler core ensure solid power gains for the Mazdaspeed 3
GEN-6-930-100
+−
Add to wish list

The Performance Mazdaspeed Top Mount Intercooler (TMIC) provides solid power gains and a great value to the Mazdaspeed 3, MS6 and CX7 turbo. Made from CorkSport’s own custom cast end tanks which are TIG welded to a 3.0” thick bar and plate core, the Mazdaspeed TMIC provides added performance by removing the bottleneck restriction of the stock intercooler and increasing resistance to heat soak by using thicker materials. The cold pipe connection is CNC milled and drilled for a leak proof connection and all bolt holes have been capped off.

The Performance Mazda Advantage

16 Rows of Cooling Fins help drastically lower post turbo air temperatures for your Mazdaspeed 3.

Better Cooling:

16 Rows of Cooling Fins help drastically lower post turbo air temperatures. Proven on a SuperFlow test bench to provide 46% more airflow over the stock intercooler.

The TMIC, With 3.25 inches of thickness, the extra capacity allows significant cooling capabilities for your Mazdaspeed 3.

More Capacity:

With 3.0" of thickness, the extra capacity allows significant cooling capabilities. During testing, the Mazdaspeed 3 TMIC showed an average decrease in pressure across the core by 53% and an increase in overall efficiency of 25% over the stock intercooler.

Speed3 TMIC increases flow

Cast Aluminum:

End tanks made of cast aluminum are durable and long lasting. Plus with a bar and plate intercooler core, you remove bottlenecking for more power with less boost.

The CorkSport Advantage

  • Reduces pre-detonation (knock) of the fuel air charge
  • Increased resistance to heat soak thanks to larger capacity and better airflow
  • Fits the 2007-2009 Mazdaspeed 3, 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed 6, 2010+ Mazdaspeed 3, and Cx7
  • Corksport Service and Support Receive full color installation instructions, all of the needed installation hardware, and knowledgeable telephone installation support

*Stock shroud molding may cause some fins to bend slightly. This will NOT affect performance or efficiency of your TMIC. The easiest and recommended way of removing the offending culprit is to trim the TMIC shroud. See Shroud Fitment Document for more details.

how to install a Mazdaspeed 3 TMIC

this tmic looks amazing with the optional powder coated shroud. the power you get from replacing the stock restricting tmic is ridiculous and very noticeable. amazing product and im super happy. thanks again corksport

Love this product looks great and comparing OEM to this intercooler you can tell the difference the craftsmanship is excellent. I had done a bunch of other upgrades at the time so install was simple and easy. I haven't even put the stock cover on it cause I love the fact you can look inside the scoop form the front of the car and see a big burly intercooler. 2 thumbs up corksport
Randy Scrivner09/18/2013, 02:25 AM
This was the first power mod I have made to my car. I installed this on my 12' Mazdaspeed 3 the other day and I love it! The turbo spools much more quickly and power delivery seems to be much smoother as well. I was peaking +15psi just in 2nd gear alone which I was never able to do on the stock intercooler. There were a couple of hiccups with the installation. In the instructions, it says to remove the connections to the bpv, but this proved to be quite difficult as the return line clamp is very difficult to get to. I found it much easier to remove the two bolts holding the bpv on the cold pipe, so you could lift the stock intercooler and cold pipe out together. I also removed the bpv gasket so it didn't accidentally fall out. Also, the two m6-1.0 allen head bolts provided did not work as they pulled through the stock shroud holes when tightening since the distance between the stock shroud and the new intercooler threads have increased and there were no washers provided. I could have just bought two washers, but I wanted to stick with a 10mm bolt, but the stock ones were too short. I ended up spending $6 and picked up two m6 - 1.0 X 30mm bolts and m6 washers and they fit perfectly and were long enough to reach the threading and short enough not to bottom out. Other than that, the new intercooler is a great product and I highly recommend!

Used mostly for short city driving, so wasn't expecting significant BAT temp reduction advantages, but it's worth if only for the significant improvement in throttle response and earlier turbo spool-up. The TMIC openings thoughtfully had painter's tape when shipped. However, peeling the tape off, I noticed metallic flakes on the tape. I wasn't sure what to make of that. Worried about metallic flakes being ingested into the engine, I used compressed air to shake out both openings of any possible debris. Overall, no issues and happy with the install. Superb product for the price.

First of all install was a BREEZE, 30 minutes MAX.

difference in performance as soon as you hit the GAS... And you still have that STOCK look under the hood,OEM shroud fit like a glove. My best friend has a MS6 if I didn"t tell him I upgraded he would of never known. Gotta LOVE Cork Sport.

Just finished installing the stage II SRI with the TMI on 2013 Mazdaspeed3. Love it. Did a quick test run and wheels starting breaking loose between 1st and 2nd even with the traction control on. Was at 80 before knowing it. Lots of fun! Very simple to install the TMI. SRI, a little tricky although completely worth it.
Steve Riley08/16/2013, 07:01 PM
How much hp will this support up to?



CorkSport Reply:We have had customer dyno out in excess of 300 wheel HP with the CS TMIC.
Adam08/04/2013, 10:21 PM
This thing is great...The quality is awesome and fits just like stock
James Brooks07/22/2013, 01:42 PM
Would you recommend doing a tune after installing the TMIC on an otherwise stock car?



CorkSport Reply: If you have a stock car it would work just fine without a tune. A tune will get you more power though.
Kyle07/05/2013, 12:08 AM
Super easy install. I got the tubes with it. More boost and seems longer. No shroud, just cut a little away or file it down, then fits over cooler, no problem. this is a must upgrade for MS3, so the turbo will get plenty of air. Won't be bottle necked b/c of limited EOM cooler.

I have cs hpfp internals, cat back exhaust, stage 2 turbo intake pipe and ram air intake on stock turbo, no ap at the moment. Can I safely run this combo safely or do I need to wait to tune to avoid running lean?

Does this utilize the stock charge piping? If running this setup, does the charge piping matter that much? They are pretty short pipes/bends, so I would imagine it wouldnt make much of a difference.

I installed this the other day and wow, what a difference I'm seeing. My only concern is I'm getting a high pitched hum (not whistle, more like letting the air out of a balloon and pinching the end but not quite as high pitched as that) coming into the cockpit at high loads from somewhere in or under the dash (hard to pinpoint). Could it be from not running the stock shroud? I'm pretty sure I got all my hoses tightened enough, but before I start troubleshooting I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen? Thanks

I just installed Stage II SRI and the Dual VTA Bypass Valve )OMG, love it!). I want to install this TMIC next before getting an AP. I see you recommend the fuel pump internals prior to installing the TMIC to someone running stock. Should I consider getting the fuel pump internals first? My plan is to do, TMIC then AP, then Cat-Back exhaust. Suggestions?

Two questions actually; 1. How much does the piece weigh vs stock? 2.

By far the most intriguing upgrade from Corksports. Simply stunning how well this one part makes your MS3 perform more efficient with the power delivery. The turbo spools way faster and boost continues into the higher RPM ranges much better now while putting down a bit more HP/TQ too. Running an AP safe tune now until I install the CS FP internals and currently have the Stage II Intake/TIP and MZR bypass valve installed. Still safe with FP readings! Beginning to get pretty fast now...



Ohh and thanks for the postcard CS! The wait wasn't bad with the IC so no worries! Hit me up if you guys ever swing through SC for god know what reason...streets are getting packed with more crazy shit every day!

Perfect fit and looks great! Turbo spools much faster and power is consistent. BATs dropped much lower than the stock TMIC and all this while maintaining a stealth look! Thanks for another great product!

How does the shroud make "maximum performance gains"? Can anyone explain this?
Lee Kuhn
Comment
Top Mount Intercooler bolts to the car like instructed but as far as ease of reusing the factory cover (which is the only reason why I wanted this TMIC) is not going to be done without a fight. I understand that the backside of the cover will have to be ground down to be reused and that is not the issue. The issue is that there is a huge gap at the front of the cover where it attaches with the mounting bolts between the cover in the intercooler so now I am going to have to completely change bolts there and use a 1/4" to 3/8" spacer between to attach the cover properly and then at the back of the cover where the alignment (triangle) part of the cover is interfering with the corksport strut tower brace.

Very impressed with this upgrade turbo spools a heap better over standard TMIC. This unit is a highly recommended 1st upgrade for your Mazda 3 MPS or Mazdaspeed 3. UNREAL!!!!

Great Product, Great finish. CorkSport has top of the line product for the right price. I installed this along with my charge tubes, HPFP, DP and CBE all in one night. Its making a big difference than the stock unit which is trash. This is a very quick fix took about 10 minutes to install. Currently being tuned by Will Dawson from Purple Drank Tuning and he loves my set up. You guys need a tune hit him up.

Fits like a glove and 30 minute install at most. Consistently hitting boost targets and spool up is much smoother. Vehicle has much more power in higher RPMs. Not to mention stock shroud fitment is a plus. High recommend this TMIC!
MooseKnuckler
Comment
Easy install. Went ahead and reset battery to relearn A/F. Instant difference. Top end of second into third has ALOT more torque. Matched with my Cobb BPV, shifts produce a sharp and crisp recirc. There is no comparison between the stock unit and the Corksport unit. Night/day difference in quality and craftsmanship.
