Focusing on What's Important
Its all in the details
Design
Here at Powerhouse we set out to design a bolt on FMIC that fit behind the bumper cover without any trimming, and also fit under the crash bar without any modifying it.
Fitment
Fitment of FMIC's is always critical, we strive to maximize room available to us with minimal cutting of body panels. We are proud to offer this bolt on solution that requires no cutting of the factory crash bar, no removal of the foam, and no cutting of the factory bumper cover.
It does require some modification of the body behind where the inlet and outlet to the intercooler are.
Size
We wanted to fit the maximum amount of intercooler core on the front of the GS300 without modifying the crash bar. What we ended up with is a core that is 5.5" tall, 22" in length, and 5" THICC! This core allowed us to develop what we consider the perfect size intercooler for a street car capable of supporting 600hp.
Finish Options
Like most of our products we have various finish options, this product is no different. While you can always order it raw aluminum we also have 3 different powder coat options available
- Gloss Black
- Matte Black
- Wrinkle Black
Modifications
While we did what we could to make everything fit, there is some slight modification required. You will need to clearance part of the body to clear the intercooler piping.
You will also need to modify the high side AC line or purchase our High Side AC Line Kit for GS300 to gain the clearance you need.
Piping
We have off the shelf piping available for select configurations, and offer the option for custom piping if you need it.
- Hot Side: PHR Tubular Manifold turbo location for 2.5" outlet turbos
- Cold Side Option 1: 3" OEM Throttle Body location, using OEM Dual Fans
- Cold Side Option 2: 3" OEM Throttle Body location, using the PHR Single 16" brushless fan setup
Speak to a PHR representative for details should you need a custom piping solution for your vehicle.
