CorkSport Announces Expansion of Product Line with the Mazdaspeed Top Mount Intercooler

June 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Vancouver, WA. -- CorkSport, a leading manufacturer and reseller of Mazda aftermarket performance enhancement parts, announced today that it has expanded its core product line to include the Mazdaspeed Top Mount Intercooler (TMIC)  for the 2007-2011 MS3, 2006-2007 MS6, and CX7 turbo.

The newly engineered TMIC is made from CorkSport’s own custom cast end tanks which are TIG welded to a 3” thick bar and plate core, providing added performance by removing the bottleneck restriction of the stock intercooler and increasing resistance to heat soak by using thicker materials. The cold pipe connection is CNC milled and drilled for a leak proof connection and all bolt holes have been capped off.

The CorkSport TMIC has been vigorously tested to ensure optimal characteristics. Testing completed on a SuperFlow test bench proved a 46% increase in airflow over the Mazda OEM intercooler. During the testing, the CorkSport TMIC showed an average decrease in pressure across the core by 53% and an increase in overall efficiency of 25% over the stock intercooler.

CorkSport’s innovative design allows for the reuse of the Mazda OEM plastic shroud giving purchasers the option of maintaining the stock look and feel to the engine bay however, an optional aluminum ring has been made available and can be customized to compliment the finish of any engine bay.

“After many months of design, testing, and data collection, we are proud to release our highly anticipated CorkSport Top Mount Intercooler”, said Rich Harris, President of CorkSport, “Our TMIC provides solid power gains and is a great value add to the Mazdaspeed 3, MS6 and CX7 turbo. Pre-sales of the product have shown a strong demand in the marketplace for the newest addition to the CorkSport line”.

The product was developed in response to a customer collaboration program recently implemented by CorkSport. Product submissions received by the customer base are evaluated via a rigorous, objective assessment and scoring system enabling the identification of those concepts with the greatest potential being moved directly into the development funnel for long-term development plans.
