Who needs the ETS Cusco Tank Intercooler for CT9A?

The ETS Cusco Tank Intercooler for CT9A is for Evo 8 and 9 owners who run the Cusco Power Brace. ETS built this version specifically to sit behind the brace, which lets you keep the added chassis stiffness from the brace and still move up to a larger front mount intercooler.

Why only 3.0 and 3.5 inch cores?

The core has to sit in the space behind the Cusco Power Brace, and ETS offers it in 3.0 and 3.5 inch thicknesses only. Owners who need a thicker core and do not run the brace can look at the ETS Standard Tank Intercooler, which is offered up to 6.0 inches.

ETS includes the intercooler, mounting hardware, silicone couplers and stainless T-bolt clamps. The Cusco Power Brace itself is not included and must already be fitted or bought separately. Intercooler piping is also sold separately if the turbo upgrade calls for larger upper or lower pipes.

How does the core help under boost?

ETS has the core custom made with what it describes as the highest density core pack on the market. More cooling capacity keeps intake temperatures lower for longer, which means more time under boost before heat soak starts to pull timing on a modified 4G63T.

Yes. ETS pressure checks the intercooler to 35 psi, so a leak in the core or the end tanks is found before the unit reaches your car. Use good clamps and couplers, like the stainless T-bolt clamps supplied, to keep every joint sealed at boost.

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.
