Description
After the release of Evolution Racewerks Competition Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) that was designed for the “Big Turbo” GT28 variant turbos, were were receiving quite a bit of inquiries and demand to produce a FMIC designed for the stock K03 and K04 upgrade turbos. Evolution Racewerks were very fortunate to get the huge support Evolution Racewerks received from the Audi community so the project was a go and Evolution Racewerks began R&D in Dec. 05. After months of R&D and beta testing, Evolution Racewerks are proud to introduce the Evolution Racewerks Sport FMIC for the B6 A4.
Through extensive testing of different types of intercooler cores (tube & fin, bar & plate) Evolution Racewerks found that the high density bar and plate core to be the most efficient. Independent testing has shown that Evolution Racewerks FMIC is so efficient in cooling that it has cooled intake air temperatures (IAT) to almost ambient (outside) temperatures. Evolution Racewerks also did extensive testing on the proper size to use to effectively cool the hot charged air from the K03/K04 turbos, yet still be able to support the GT28 variants that can still fight off “heatsoaking” (when the intercooler cannot transfer heat away faster than the heat building up from the hot intake air). “Heatsoaking” is not an issue at all as shown by consistency of the IAT staying in the same temperature range throughout the whole RPM powerband. Also Evolution Racewerks FMIC recovers so fast after a full throttle pull that once you shift, the IAT s recover.
As with Evolution Racewerks Competition FMIC s, the Sport FMIC features a smog pump relocation bracket. The stock bracket holds the smog pump in direct line of the shortest path to the FMIC. Evolution Racewerks relocate the smog pump bracket so that Evolution Racewerks can get the shortest amount of piping with the least amount of bends for increased throttle response and faster spool up. Again, performance, no compromise. Evolution Racewerks intercooler end tanks feature a “rolled” design and are ported and smoothed out on the inside for better flow, again, helping with throttle response and faster spool up. Evolution Racewerks intercooler end tanks are welded inside and out as well to ensure strength. Evolution Racewerks supply a new more efficient external power steering cooler to help dissapate heat from the power steering fluid (Audi power steering pumps are prone to failure) and does not require you to “rig” the old power steering cooler to work with the FMIC.
All Evolution Racewerks intercooler applications come standard with a mirror polish intercooler and piping. Evolution Racewerks also offer and stock Evolution Racewerks intercooler applications with Type III Hard Black Anodizing for the guys that want the stealthy look. With the Type III Hard Anodized FMIC, it is very hard to tell there is a FMIC on the car. Most of Evolution Racewerks customers with the Type III Hard Anodized FMIC comment that unless you know there is a FMIC on the car, nobody notices it. Another added benefit of the Type III Hard Anodizing is that it makes the intercooler fins harder and stronger, which makes it less prone to getting bent/damaged from road debris like rocks etc… Evolution Racewerks opted for the Type III Hard Anodizing over the Type II color anodizing which is only asthetics for this purpose only (even though it cost us considerably more to anodize Type III than Type II). Evolution Racewerks have been using Type III Hard Anodizing on FMIC Evolution Racewerks put on Evolution Racewerks rally car customers for years which go through tremendous amounts of abuse. Testing has shown no noticeable ill-effect from the Type III Hard Anodizing on performance (regular spray paint etc… has shown ill-effects on performance).
Evolution Racewerks also offer Evolution Racewerks intercoolers in any color of the rainbow you want (special order) and is available in only Type II Anodizing (asthetics). Evolution Racewerks do extensive R&D as well as beta testing to ensure this (as some of you may already know, waiting for us to release the production units). Evolution Racewerks only release Evolution Racewerks products once Evolution Racewerks feel Evolution Racewerks have reached perfection. Evolution Racewerks do not rush to get Evolution Racewerks products out even if there is alot of potential customers. Also, Evolution Racewerks do quality checks before the intercoolers are packaged. All Evolution Racewerks FMIC s are pressure tested to 50 PSI of pressure before they are shipped. Evolution Racewerks include only high quality parts and accessories in Evolution Racewerks FMIC kit. Evolution Racewerks include detail instructions and all parts needed for installation. All Evolution Racewerks FMIC s are backed with Evolution Racewerks Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Evolution Racewerks go through extensive R&D to test all the innovations and features Evolution Racewerks incorporate into Evolution Racewerks intercooler systems. With years of experience building race cars and high power street cars, you can be sure that you re getting the best.
