Garrett Air / Air Intercooler CAC (18.00in x 12.11in x 4.50in) - 785 HP

With a core measuring 18.00 inches long, 12.11 inches tall, and 4.50 inches thick, this Garrett air-to-air charge air cooler (CAC) is built to handle significant airflow for engines making up to 785 horsepower. This intercooler is a crucial component in a forced induction system, working to cool the compressed air coming from your turbocharger or supercharger before it enters the engine. Cooler intake air is denser, meaning more oxygen can be packed into the cylinders, which directly translates to more power and improved engine efficiency. Garrett has a long history in turbocharging and related components, and this intercooler reflects that experience with its robust construction and efficient design.

The construction of this intercooler is designed for durability and optimal thermal performance. Its substantial core size allows for a large surface area, which is key to dissipating heat effectively. This helps prevent heat soak, a common issue where the intercooler can no longer cool the intake charge sufficiently, leading to reduced performance and potentially increased engine stress. By maintaining lower intake temperatures, this Garrett intercooler helps your engine run more consistently, especially under demanding conditions like track use or heavy towing. It’s a well-built piece that’s designed to integrate into custom or performance-oriented forced induction setups.

When installing a high-performance intercooler like this, it's important to consider the overall system. Proper plumbing, mounting, and airflow to the intercooler itself are critical for it to perform as intended. While this unit is designed for high-output applications, please note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details and recommendations to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your charge air cooling system.
