{"product_id":"front-mount-intercooler-kit-26-5x6-25x2-75","title":"Front Mount Intercooler Kit 26.5\"x6.25\"x2.75\"","description":"The CXRacing FMIC (Front-Mount Intercooler Kit) is engineered for the 2nd Generation MazdaSpeed3, aiming to significantly enhance performance by replacing the stock, restrictive top-mount intercooler. This upgrade promotes improved airflow, optimal positioning for cooling, and increased surface area, which collectively work to substantially reduce charge temperatures and prevent heat soak.\n\nBy relocating the intercooler from under the hood to the front of the vehicle, this kit maximizes exposure to ambient airflow, ensuring more effective cooling across all boost levels. This is crucial for maintaining consistent performance, especially during demanding driving conditions or consecutive runs. Extensive dyno testing indicated that the factory intercooler suffered from significant heat soak, with charge temperatures increasing by over 40 degrees after just three runs. In contrast, the CXRacing FMIC maintained its cooling efficiency run after run, demonstrating a difference of over 60 degrees in charge temperature compared to stock after three runs.\n\nThis kit is specifically designed for the 2010-2013 MazdaSpeed3 2.3L DISI engine. The intercooler features a bar and plate design with a core size of 26.5\"x6.25\"x2.75\" and 2.5\" inlet and outlet diameters. The included piping is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum and comes complete with a blow-off valve, silicon hoses, and T-bolt clamps for a comprehensive installation. It is important to note that mounting brackets and the intercooler core itself are not included with this piping kit.","brand":"CXRacing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687603106104,"sku":"FMIC-KIT-MS3-GEN2-BL","price":604.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662653321.webp?v=1784885514","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/front-mount-intercooler-kit-26-5x6-25x2-75","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
