Does the ETS Intercooler for VB Subaru WRX include piping?

No. The ETS Intercooler for VB Subaru WRX is the core only. The front mount piping kit, in 2.5 inch stainless or titanium, is sold separately and is required to install it, along with an ETS intake. BA can quote all three together.

Will it fit with the factory intake?

No. ETS states its 2022 and later WRX front mount kits require an ETS intake and will not fit with the factory intake or airbox. Order the ETS intake at the same time so both parts can be installed together and the car tuned once.

Which core thickness should I choose?

ETS offers 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 inch cores. Its own G30-770 turbo test car ran the 3.5 inch core. Thicker cores add capacity for more boost and longer pulls, so tell BA your turbo and power target and we will confirm the right size with ETS.

How does it compare with the Ultimate Intercooler Kit?

This is the original ETS core for the 2022 and later WRX, sold without piping. The Ultimate kit uses a larger stepped core that ETS rates at more than 300 percent of stock capacity, and it ships as a complete kit with piping and billet fittings.

Do I need a tune after fitting it?

Yes. Moving from the factory top mount to a front mount changes the charge path and the volume of air between the turbo and the throttle, so the calibration has to be adjusted. Tune once the intercooler, intake and piping are all fitted.

Description

ETS Front Mount Intercooler for VB Subaru WRX

ETS’s Front Mount Intercooler for VB Subaru WRX was the first front mount offered for the 2022-on WRX, and its core is drawn for this car rather than borrowed from a universal part. Offset, staggered fin packs run dense on the outside to shed heat and more open on the inside to keep flow, and the inlet and outlet sit at the centre of the core so the charge spreads evenly. It is the right step for an FA24 car with a tune and a turbo upgrade; for the largest core that still keeps the crash beam, ETS offers the Ultimate kit.

Hand Ported, Not Just Welded

ETS ports each inlet and outlet by hand to remove the weld lip a plain welded-on tube leaves inside, so the charge enters and leaves the core with less turbulence. Three core thicknesses are offered, in silver or five anodized colours, with an optional ETS stencil.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
