FL5 Intercooler Reference Thread

Will there be a WOT variation of the new PWR intercooler? Also think it'd be cool if there was a WOT variation of the micro tubule one

The microtube is a WOT product in partnership with HPT, similar to my radiator in partnership with PWR.

There's no plans to have a WOT specific variant of the PWR unit, but I will be selling them as another option.

People have run it and it's gone well. Continued strong results on track. I have a few customers in Puerto Rico and it's doing very well in the heat. I have a couple in stock and ready to ship.

In fact the new PWR unit was birthed as a result of the microtube and since I have a good working relationship with them (they build my radiators and I use their cores in my oil cooler kits) I agreed to test on track against the microtube.

It'll be interesting to see how they stack up. I will likely be able to test at Sonoma in 5ish weeks.

BTW, if anyone wants I can take preorders on the PWR unit. The downside right now is there's an approx 12 week lead time.

Is the new PWR IC compatible with the HKS piping kit?

So long as the hks piping maintains OEM connections (which I believe is does) then yes they will work.

I had emailed PWR awhile back asking if the new model has the same fitment as the current one:

“The new FL5 intercooler will have the same fitment, still will accept factory charge pipes, you will now have to remove the factory air guides like with every other intercooler on the market. But we have built in ducting on the intercooler as standard that replaces the factory air guides, so the intercooler will be fully ducted tor the lower grille opening.”

I should've asked if relocation of the sensor was necessary, but my guess is if it’s a bigger core, maybe????
