How It Works

The Intercooler is similar to the engine's radiator except that instead of cooling water, it cools the turbocharger compressor discharge air before it goes to the engine. In operation, 320 degree F turbocharger compressor discharge air is routed through 3" diameter primary pipes to a new, low restriction, high-efficiency 30 x 12 x 3-1/2 heat exchanger core. The heat exchanger (intercooler) is mounted behind the standard factory grille. This placement has been found to be optimum for maintaining good engine cooling system efficiency. Outside air is forced through the intercooler by the forward motion of the vehicle which cools the turbocharger compressor discharge air. The hot air is cooled to within 10 oF of the outside air temperature. In otherwords, if the outside air temperature is 90 oF, the 320 oF air is returned to the engine at 100 oF. This is a 220 degree F reduction in air temperature! Exhaust temperatures are reduced an equal amount. The cooled air is returned to the engine through 3" diameter secondary pipes. The system's pressure drop is less than 1 PSI. Large diameter primary and secondary pipes, as well as an extremely low restriction heat exchanger, make this low restriction possible.
