Garrett Air / Air Intercooler CAC (13.10in x 8.60in x 5.00in) - 800 HP

This Garrett air-to-air intercooler features a substantial core measuring 13.10 inches long, 8.60 inches tall, and 5.00 inches deep. This generous size is key to its ability to support up to 800 horsepower by providing ample surface area for cooling. The intercooler's primary job is to take the hot, compressed air from your turbocharger and cool it down before it enters the engine. Cooler air is denser, meaning it carries more oxygen, which allows for more efficient combustion and ultimately, more power. This unit is built with robust construction to handle the demands of high-performance applications.

The design of this intercooler focuses on maximizing airflow and heat dissipation. Its internal fin structure and external fin pitch are optimized to work together, creating an efficient path for air to flow through while transferring heat away from the charge air. This is crucial for maintaining consistent intake temperatures, even under heavy load or prolonged boost conditions. Garrett has a long history in forced induction, and this intercooler reflects that experience, aiming for reliable performance for builds pushing significant power levels.

When installing an intercooler of this caliber, it's important to consider the overall plumbing setup. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free to prevent any loss of boost pressure. Proper fitment and routing of the charge pipes are essential for optimal performance and to avoid any interference with other engine components. This intercooler is a significant component for anyone looking to build a high-horsepower forced induction system.
