Ambient of 111 today, can't imagine what my IAT's were as I was sitting in traffic but the heat soak is getting really bad.

Are we talking weeks or months here before release?
yea it was bad this past week in MN as well lol

Monsoon rain is going to have to suffice as my intercooler spray. :rofl:

In the meantime can you share any more specifics as far as core footprint and/or spacing vs stock components? (Specifically, will it be spaced a bit forwards of stock to avoid condenser/radiator heat soak?)

What about the stock air guide that sticks out on the passenger's side, I can't seem to fathom if that air guide is just to equalize high/low pressure somewhere, cool something else, or if it's actually like the Ford Focus RS Intercooler where it's partially "blanked" on the hot side to stop condensation from occurring.

... not that it would be an issue in my case considering I live in the desert.:yes:

I’m looking for a bolt on solution that retains the stock piping and doesn’t force me to trim the stock ducting. Hoping this will be the answer.

Yes this will be a direct replacement for stock intercooler

I'm looking at the production pictures again and I'm a little confused, it looks like the cold side exit has a flange for a silicon hose, not the bolt on connection that is stock... are there different versions that are coming out??

Still looking forward to seeing how this turns out even though I bought an Agency Power intercooler... I had to trim stock ducting, which I didn't think was a big deal until I looked at the price Honda wants for the OEM pieces!!

But oh my lord that stock IC is so bad! Even if the AP isn't as good as the MAP, the difference an aftermarket intercooler makes in baking hot 115 degree weather is amazing.

Not even joking, the AC even blows colder!:spaz: Larger thermal mass and/or better flow is a godsend!

How much of a difference will it affect temp if I just change the ic and keep the stock pipe?

Flow through an IC pipe hardly has any effect on the temperature, and plastic piping is actually pretty good at avoiding heat soak as well. So, to answer your question: basically no effect whatsoever.

The reason you'd want to change pipes would be larger diameter flow volume if you are turning up the boost- the stock pipes are very conservatively sized.

There may even be a difference in compressible volume with more robust pipe materials. This would also allow for greater flow from less turbulence

All the cooling aspecs would be coming from the intercooler stock piping would still do good
