Khanacooler - Subaru 15-21 VA WRX (Factory Flat Mount Style) - Silver
The Process West Khanacooler is the ultimate "straight-fit" intercooler solution for the VA WRX. Designed for enthusiasts who want world-class cooling without compromising the factory engine bay layout, the Khanacooler integrates the advanced technology of our flagship Verticooler into a traditional top-mount configuration.
Performance Engineering
Built with a high-flow bar-and-plate core, the Khanacooler offers a massive increase in surface area and thermal mass compared to the stock unit. This results in both a significant reduction in intake temperatures and a measurable decrease in pressure drop, allowing your turbo to work more efficiently.
-
Core Dimensions: 347mm x 225mm x 100mm
-
Design: High-flow bar-and-plate construction.
-
Compatibility: Fits perfectly with the factory charge pipe or the upgraded Process West version.
-
OEM Aesthetics: Includes a custom under-hood duct and engine pulley garnish for a professional, "factory-plus" appearance.
Proven Results
We validated the Khanacooler’s performance through rigorous real-world data logging and controlled dyno sessions. Using AIM Data Logging, we monitored heat-soak levels from a standstill up to high-speed wind loads to ensure consistent performance in all driving conditions.
Thermal Efficiency
In back-to-back dyno testing against the OEM intercooler:
-
Factory Outlet Temp: 57°C
-
Khanacooler Outlet Temp: 30°C
-
Improvement: A 27°C (48%) reduction in intake temperatures.
Power & Pressure
Beyond cooling, the Khanacooler reduces boost restriction. Even on a cold run, the core's high-flow design yields immediate power gains by allowing more air to reach the engine with less effort from the turbocharger.
The Bottom Line
Whether you are concerned with pressure drop, temperature management, or simple bolt-on reliability, the Khanacooler delivers. It is a modest 50% upgrade over the factory system, providing a difference you can feel immediately from the driver's seat.
