Thank you for the kind words.

No reservoir, but we do include a simple filler neck for when you fill the system.

Cheers.

How our air-to-liquid intercooler radiator looks mounted with the bumper removed.

@WORKS
what was the deciding factor on putting the IC where it is located?
i can imagine the air-water system keeps temps fairly low
but the 1.0 system seems like it would incure MAJOR heat sink, especially without a vented hood
im also very surprised you didnt put the temp paint on the intercooler to see what kind of temps it was running
but so far really nice looking setup

Thank you!

Intercooler location was selected to minimize charge pipe length and number of bends (optimize airflow and throttle response).

Temperature paint wasn't used on the intercooler as its indicating temp window is roughly 600-1200 degrees F (doesn't indicate under 600F). Great for exhaust and brake components, but intake components don't get anywhere near that hot.

Cheers.

Our Stage 2 intercooler radiator blends in nicely behind the grill.

It's Official!

The WORKS Stage 1 and Stage 2 Turbo Kits are the first FR-S/BRZ turbo kits to be granted a CARB Executive Order!


Under CARB Executive Order D-748, the installation of our WORKS Stage 1 and Stage 2 Turbo Kits are exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for 2013 through 2016 model year Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S vehicles.

What does that mean? 50 state smog legal versions of our Stage 1 and Stage 2 Turbo Kits will soon be available!

Stay tuned for more details and pre-ordering.

Cheers,
WORKS Motorsports
