What makes the ETS Standard Tank Intercooler for CT9A worth the upgrade?

The ETS Standard Tank Intercooler for CT9A replaces the factory unit with a 24 by 11.5 inch bar and plate core that fills the grille opening. More core area and frontal area lower charge air temperatures, which helps a modified 4G63T hold timing and make consistent power under boost.

Which thickness should I choose?

The 3.0 and 3.5 inch cores are direct replacements that keep the crash beam, and they suit most street builds. The 4.0 inch needs beam trimming, the 5.0 inch adds custom piping, and the 6.0 inch needs the beam removed and the bumper cut. Match the core to the power goal.

How much power can each core support?

ETS rates the 3.0 inch core at 742 hp, the 3.5 at 758 hp, the 4.0 at 820 hp, the 5.0 at 930 hp and the 6.0 at 1000 hp. These are core flow ratings from ETS, not dyno results, so the full setup and the tune decide the final number.

Does the 5.0 inch core need different piping?

Yes. ETS states the 5.0 inch core needs bumper beam trimming and custom intercooler piping, which is not part of this listing. ETS lists the 3.0 and 3.5 inch cores as direct replacements, and the ETS upper intercooler piping kits for the Evo 8 and 9 are sold separately at BA.

What finishes are available?

The core is offered in plain silver or anodized black, gold, blue, red or purple, and an ETS stencil can be added as an option. Anodizing changes the look of the core rather than its rating, so choose the color that suits the car.

Description

ETS Standard Tank Intercooler for CT9A Mitsubishi Evo 8 and 9

The ETS Standard Tank Intercooler for CT9A Mitsubishi Evo 8 and 9 is a bolt-on front mount that fills the whole grille opening with core, for lower charge air temperatures. It uses a 24 by 11.5 inch bar and plate core in five thicknesses, from a 3.0-inch direct replacement that keeps the crash beam to a 6.0-inch core rated by ETS at 1,000 hp.

Choosing a Core Thickness

The 3.0-inch and 3.5-inch cores bolt in and retain the crash beam. The 4.0-inch core requires trimming of the bumper beam, the 5.0-inch core needs beam trimming plus custom intercooler piping, and the 6.0-inch core requires removing the bumper beam and cutting the bumper cover. ETS rates the five cores at 742, 758, 820, 930 and 1,000 hp respectively.

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.
