Subaru Forester Intercooler

The Subaru Forester Intercooler helps the turbocharged engine take in cool, dense air, thus producing power quickly without knocking. In all the turbo versions, this heat exchanger is mounted between the compressor and the intake. It removes the heat gained due to boost so that the cylinders can receive oxygen-rich air for more efficient combustion. In addition, this ensures safe exhaust gas temperatures as well. Mainly all generation models make use of a top-mount air-to-air Intercooler fed by the hood scoop, which shortens piping and decreases lag. Subsequent designs transitioned to a front-mount air-to-air Intercooler that utilizes cooler winds, yet adds to the length of the charge the car receives. However, both types have aluminum cores that mean the air is cooled quickly. There were no air-to-liquid styles on factory Forester models, keeping weight down and avoiding extra pumps and radiators. The Intercooler enables the engine to operate at higher boost and more fuel without knocking and meets emissions targets by lowering intake temperatures by roughly 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Subaru protects the unit through scoops and undertrays to ensure fins do not clog and oil stays fresh, thus ensuring durability stays high. The Forester works so efficiently thanks to the teamwork of the turbo, Intercooler, and smart packaging. This has earned Subaru a performance-minded yet efficient reputation.

Subaru Forester Intercooler Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q:
    How to Remove the Intercooler on a Subaru Forester?
    Posted by Jeannette W.
    A:
    To remove the intercooler on 2004 and later Legacy, Outback, and Forester models, disconnect the PCV hoses and metal lines, the turbocharger inlet duct, and the vacuum hose from the air bypass valve. Remove the intercooler mounting bolts and loosen the hose clamps securing the ducts. Lift the intercooler and unplug the turbocharger and ducts and remove it. To reinstall, switch the removal steps going from the final step to the first step.
