Vibrant Horizontal Flow Intercooler Core 22in. W x 11.75in. H x 3.5in. Thick - Universal Turbo Supercharged Fit

Vibrant Performance horizontal flow air to air intercooler core provides efficient charge air cooling for turbocharged and supercharged engines in custom performance vehicles. This bar and plate core measures 22 inches wide by 11.75 inches high by 3.5 inches thick delivering 557 cubic inches of cooling volume for high boost setups. Louvered fins and offset patterns reject heat effectively while keeping airflow restriction low for better power gains.

Key Features

  • Bar and Plate Design: Aluminum construction transfers heat efficiently in a durable structure that withstands high boost pressures and racing demands
  • Louvered Fins Ambient Side: Increases surface area to extract more heat from charge air resulting in lower intake temperatures and denser air charge
  • Offset Fins Charge Side: Promotes laminar airflow with minimal pressure drop to preserve boost levels across the core
  • Compact Dimensions: 22in W x 11.75in H x 3.5in T fits confined engine bays while offering substantial 557 cubic inch cooling capacity
  • Horizontal Flow Configuration: Enables simple piping routing for front mount or top mount intercooler installations on performance cars

Product Notes

  • Raw core requires separate end tanks fabrication and inlet outlet ports
  • Aluminum construction handles high pressures and temperatures in racing use
  • Handle edges carefully during assembly to avoid fin damage

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Fabricate custom end tanks with 2.5in or 3in inlet outlet sizes based on boost needs
  • Secure with heavy duty brackets compatible with 3.5in core thickness

Forced Induction

Forced Induction

Forced induction is the fastest way to add real power to an engine without adding displacement, and this collection covers the full range of turbocharger, supercharger, intercooler, and boost control hardware needed to build a reliable boosted platform. Whether you are running a factory turbo upgrade, swapping to a bigger frame turbocharger, adding a centrifugal or roots style supercharger, or dialing in a nitrous system for a quick shot of extra power, you will find the components here to build and support the setup correctly. Every part in this collection is organized by system type so you can move from a stock turbocharger to a properly supported forced induction build in one place. Intercoolers, wastegates, blow off valves, boost controllers, and water meth injection components are all included alongside the core turbo and supercharger hardware so the entire boost system can be sourced together. What This Category Covers This collection includes turbochargers, turbo kits, s...
