Vibrant I/C End Tank 3.25in Wide 9.25in Long 3in Tall Use w/ Horizontal I/C Core 12831 - 5052 Alum - Universal Fit
This Vibrant Performance end tank pairs directly with horizontal intercooler core 12831 to build efficient cooling systems for turbocharged and supercharged vehicles. Its exact dimensions deliver seamless assembly and smooth airflow for better charge air temperatures in custom forced induction setups. Constructed from 5052 aluminum it weighs just 1 lb for minimal impact on vehicle dynamics.
Key Features
- 5052 Aluminum Build: Delivers corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio to handle boost pressures while staying lightweight at 1 lb.
- Precision Dimensions: 3.25 inches wide x 9.25 inches long x 3 inches tall matches core 12831 perfectly for leak-free integration.
- Horizontal Core Compatibility: Engineered for Vibrant core 12831 to support horizontal flow paths and reduce intake air temps effectively.
- TIG Welded Construction: Creates strong seams that withstand high-pressure environments in performance applications.
- Raw Machined Finish: Ready for custom welding of inlet and outlet pipes plus optional polishing or painting.
Product Notes
- Sold individually requires two tanks for full core assembly with part 12831.
- Inlet and outlet ports need custom TIG welding based on plumbing requirements.
- Carefully packaged to arrive undamaged ready for fabrication.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- TIG welding required to attach inlet and outlet tubes to ports.
- Mounts flush to core 12831 using standard M6 hardware.

Forced Induction
Forced induction systems encompass every method of pushing air into an engine at greater than atmospheric pressure, including turbochargers driven by exhaust energy, superchargers driven mechanically by the crankshaft, and prochargers using centrifugal designs belt-driven at higher ratios than traditional roots-type blowers, with each approach delivering a significant increase in air mass per cylinder fill that allows proportionally more fuel to be burned and more power to be produced without increasing engine displacement. Adding 10 PSI of boost pressure to a naturally aspirated engine can increase power output by 50 to 70 percent depending on the engine's breathing efficiency and the quality of the supporting hardware, making forced induction the most power-dense modification available relative to cost and complexity. This collection covers complete forced induction systems, turbocharger and supercharger hardware, intercoolers, blow-off valves, wastegates, and supporting component...

Forced Induction Components
Forced induction component upgrades address the individual hardware elements within a turbocharger or supercharger system rather than replacing the entire forced induction assembly, allowing targeted improvements to intercooler efficiency, boost control precision, charge pipe sealing, oil delivery, and thermal management that collectively maximize the performance and reliability of the installed system. Many production turbocharged vehicles leave significant performance on the table with factory hardware that includes undersized intercooler cores, restrictive intercooler piping with flexible rubber couplers prone to boost leaks, and basic boost controllers that cannot maintain consistent pressure under varying conditions. Addressing these components individually with quality aftermarket alternatives provides measurable power and reliability gains, particularly on higher-mileage vehicles where factory rubber components have begun to show age-related deterioration. This collection cov...
