    Default KPR Front Mount Intercooler Kit near completion!

    Greetings!

    We at KP Race Engineering are nearing the completion of our front mount intercooler kit for the Genesis 2.0T. We have spent the last several weeks coming up with a good design and fitment for our FMIC kit. Realizing that people may upgrade turbos and platforms in the future we took into consideration the need for versatility so we opted for an optional hotpipe and BOV upgrades. We also built a replacement bumper beam to reinforce the chassis after the removal of the factory bumper beam.







    Our FMIC kit will consist of a Griffin intercooler core. The Griffin core is EFFICIENTLY rated to hold 500hp. The extrusion process used in the Griffin core design is unlike any other on the market, which allows for minimal pressure drop while maintaining high efficiency. Griffin intercoolers are pressure tested to hold 45psi.




    The bumper replacement beam was designed to increase front rigidity while having a large front mount intercooler. With most larger than factory FMIC kits you will have to remove the factory front bumper beam, which will make your front chassis weak. With this kit your vehicle will be able to house a FMIC while still having the rigidity of a factory front bumper beam. This is not used as a crash beam, but more as a chassis brace.



    We incorporate a 2.5” to 2” transition right before the intercooler hot side where you can either use the factory hot pipe or our hot pipe designed for the use of stock or factory placement turbos (we do not include this pipe for those wishing to use this intercooler kit with custom turbo kits ie. top mount turbo kits or non-factory replacement turbo kits). Our hotpipe is 2” in diameter to increase boost response and for proper fitment. The FMIC kit is a complete bolt on and requires no modifications to the factory front bumper.




    Kit Includes:
    - Griffin intercooler core 2.75” thick, 25” wide, 11.5” tall
    - Bolt-on front bumper replacement beam powder coated in black
    - Intercooler piping: 2.5”-2” hot side piping, 2.5" on cold side
    - Boost pressure sensor bung
    - (7) KPR black 4-layer silicon couplers
    - (14) Stainless steel hose clamps
    - Aluminum stock intercooler-delete brackets
    - BOV flange on cold pipe *Optional
    - 2” Hot pipe *Optional

    Feel free to ask any questions! We’re shooting for November for the release date for our kit. PM me for pricing!

    Dyno Numbers coming soon!

    Cheers,
    Victor

    Absolutely beautiful setup! Really cool that you replaced the factory crash beam with something for rigidity and support. Most other companies left this out!

    Thanks for the reply! Including a bumper replacement beam was must. We did not want any of our customers to lose their front chassis rigidity on their Gen coupe if they purchased our kit.

    Dyno results are in!!

    Both the stock and the Griffin intercoolers perform the same till about 5000rpms then the efficiency of the larger Griffin intercooler starts to shine; where the intake temps stay down and the power goes up. This is very noticable at the first dyno graph below.

    KPR FMIC Kit on stock boost of 14psi (KPR downpipe, O2 housing and intake also installed)


    KPR FMIC Kit with boost turned up to 16.7psi (KPR downpipe, O2 housing and intake also installed)
