Description
The Mishimoto Performance Front-Mount Intercooler Kit (MMINT-WRX-22AISLRD) is a purpose-built forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the 2022+ Subaru WRX and its FA24F 2.4L engine. Featuring a massive 4-inch thick bar-and-plate core, CFD-optimized cast end tanks, and ID-matched piping, this front-mount intercooler kit was dyno-tested to bring outlet temperatures to within 10 degrees of ambient air temperature while adding up to 12 hp and 11.8 lb-ft of torque on the stock tune.
As a dedicated forced induction component, this induction system replaces the factory unit’s heat-soak-prone design with a high-flow, low-pressure-drop layout built for real performance gains. Relocating the intercooler to the lower bumper grille maximizes airflow through the core, making this forced induction system an ideal foundation for track builds, dragstrip runs, or spirited street driving. The 2.4-inch inlet and outlet piping is matched to the core for unrestricted airflow, resulting in just a 1.5 PSI pressure drop so less of the boost your turbo generates goes to waste. Rated to 60 PSI maximum boost pressure and up to 1000 horsepower, this performance induction kit is built to keep pace as your WRX’s power grows, while remaining completely safe for use with stock tuning. The kit even includes Mishimoto’s Performance Intake to maximize airflow and simplify installation.
