Vibrant Vertical Flow Intercooler Core 12in W x 12in H x 3.5in Thick

If you're building a turbocharged or supercharged engine that needs serious cooling, this Vibrant vertical flow intercooler core is a solid choice. It's designed to handle high boost levels common in race applications, helping to keep your intake air temperatures down so your engine can perform at its best. This core measures 12 inches wide by 12 inches tall, with a 3.5-inch thickness, offering a good balance of cooling capacity and fitment flexibility.

Vibrant uses a bar and plate construction, which is known for its durability and effectiveness in dissipating heat. What sets this core apart is its unique fin design. On the outside, where it meets the airflow, it features louvered fins that increase the surface area for better heat exchange. On the inside, where the charged air passes through, it uses an offset fin design. This design is crucial because it helps reduce pressure loss, meaning more of your boost pressure makes it to the engine, and it also contributes to efficient cooling. The increased fin density means more material is working to cool the air passing through.

This intercooler core is made from aluminum, keeping the weight down. While it's built for demanding use, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For installation, Vibrant offers several recommended end tanks and components to complete your custom intercooler setup.
