Features and Solutions

Focusing on what's important

Massive Core Size

Designed for maximum cooling efficiency and performance, our 4.5" intercoolers feature a massive core size that significantly reduces intake air temperatures. Measuring in at 24 X 12 X 4.5, this ensures a cool charge temp and allows for more aggressive tuning and higher power output.

If you have different horsepower goals and you just don't need this big of an intercooler, check out our 4.5" Thick or 5.0" Thick Intercoolers

High Flow

Our high-flow, high density design optimizes airflow through the intercooler, minimizing pressure drop and maximizing air delivery to your engine. This results in improved throttle response, increased horsepower, and overall better engine efficiency, especially under high-boost conditions.

High Fin Density

This offers several advantages:

1. Enhanced Heat Dissipation:
   • High fin density increases the surface area available for heat exchange. This allows the intercooler to dissipate heat more effectively, resulting in cooler intake air temperatures. Cooler air entering the engine improves combustion efficiency and power output.
2. Improved Cooling Efficiency:
   • With more fins packed into a given area, the intercooler can cool the intake air more quickly and efficiently. This is particularly beneficial during high-performance driving conditions where the engine generates significant heat.
3. Reduced Heat Soak:
   • High fin density helps to minimize the effects of heat soak, where the intercooler becomes heat saturated and less effective. By enhancing the heat dissipation rate, the intercooler maintains its cooling performance even during extended periods of high boost and heavy load.
4. Better Performance Under High Load:
   • Engines operating under high load and boost conditions benefit from high fin density as it ensures that the intercooler can handle the increased thermal load. This leads to more consistent performance and less risk of overheating.
5. Increased Durability:
   • High fin density can contribute to the structural integrity of the intercooler. The additional fins can provide more support and help distribute thermal and mechanical stresses more evenly across the core, enhancing the durability of the unit.
6. Optimized Airflow Management:
   • High fin density can improve the turbulence of airflow within the intercooler, promoting more uniform cooling. This can lead to a more balanced and efficient intercooler performance, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the cooling system.

High Horsepower Capability:

Rated to support over 1500 horsepower, making it perfect for high-performance builds that demand the best in cooling capacity.

Hand Made in the USA

Each intercooler is handcrafted in the USA with meticulous attention to detail. This ensures superior build quality and performance, supporting local craftsmanship and delivering a product you can trust to perform at the highest level.  

Hand Tig Welded

Our intercoolers feature TIG-welded joints for unmatched strength and durability. TIG welding produces clean, precise welds that can withstand the high pressures and temperatures of a performance engine, ensuring a long-lasting, reliable intercooler.

3/16" Thick End Tanks

The 3/16 thick end tanks provide robust durability and resistance to cracking or leaking. This added thickness ensures that the intercooler can handle high boost pressures and the rigors of intense driving conditions without failure.

Thick Mounting Tabs

Thick mounting tabs ensure secure and stable installation of the intercooler. This reduces vibration and movement, preventing potential damage and ensuring the intercooler stays firmly in place even during the most demanding driving scenarios.  

3" Inlet:

  The 3" inlet size allows for a large volume of air to enter the intercooler, which is crucial for high-performance applications. This large inlet supports efficient air intake, contributing to better engine performance and higher power output.

4" Outlet:

The 4" outlet size ensures efficient air exit from the intercooler, maintaining optimal airflow and minimizing restrictions. This helps in achieving consistent and powerful engine performance, especially important for high-boost setups. 

We prefer to match the outlet size to the intercooler pipe size, so if you have something other than a 4.0" Cold Side Intercooler  pipe, you should look into our customized intercoolers.

Finish Options

Choose from multiple finish options to match your style and preferences. Whether you want the sleek look of a raw finish or the durability of a powder-coated finish, we have the option to enhance the appearance and protection of your intercooler.

Customization

We understand that every build is unique, which is why we offer customization options for our intercoolers. Tailor your intercooler to meet your specific needs and preferences.
