Following on from our successful launch and testing of our intercooler designed for the Yaris GR our customers reached out to us for a cooling solution for the Corolla GR. FMINT34 is a performance intercooler for the Toyota Corolla GR. This part replaces OEM part number JD127000-1451.
The Corolla GR is currently not available for the UK market so we worked closely with our USA branch to bring a solution to market that has been designed at our headquarters in Gloucester UK. Throughout the development process we have strived to improve the efficiency and performance of the Corolla GR’s engine; our project brief was to develop an intercooler utilizing all the available space available in the original position of the OEM intercooler, and to ensure the inlet air temperature is reduced, without any negative effects on the boost pressure or engine and transmission cooling.
Using a combination of scanning software and traditional measuring methods the design was created. This was then fine tuned by our flow dynamics simulations team (CFD), and the end tanks were initially created by 3D printers. We then alloy cast our first prototypes from our 3D prints using a sand casting technique and started the testing procedure on several types of intercooler cores.
In order to fit the designed intercooler to the Corolla GR's platform we designed spacers to fit behind the Corolla GRs OEM crash bar, this results in no cutting of the vehicle and ensures the modification is 100% reversible along with helping to fit the deepest performance core behind the GRs OEM bumper. The spacers are manufactured from 6082 aerospace billet alloy and anodized for surface protection and longevity. The first iteration fitted the vehicle perfectly, however our technicians and engineers felt the inlet and outlet should be enlarged along with providing the end user with the necessary boost pipes to ensure flow was maximized
