This is a premium universal intercooler core from Garrett, using advanced aerospace technology. Whether you are building a custom intercooler for race or road car, this is the right choice if you want industry-leading technology. These intercoolers offer superior fatigue protection for the high boost pressures and temperatures of today’s extreme engines.
Garrett has over 75 years of experience with charge air coolers and a leading position in intercooler design and performance, making it for the right choice for some of the leading names in the performance car industry.
Garrett uses bar-and-plate technology for its intercooler cores. The bars used in the Garrett intercooler core structure are significantly thinner than most other manufacturers can offer. These thin bars have a very positive effect on active cooling area, weight and pressure drop. The cooling fins used are an advanced high-density offset design, for which have been proven to lower intake air temperature very effectively.
Each core is rated for a specific horsepower, making it easy to match the core to your power target.
In general, use the largest core that will fit while still allowing properly designed end tanks in the available space. For air-to-air intercoolers, good external airflow through the core is of course also very important. The goal of a well-designed intercooler is consistent charge air flow through the tanks and core for optimal cooling with minimal pressure drop. Pressure drop refers to the fact that the pressure will for the intercooler will be lower than before it – this will always be the case for all intercooler designs, but a good design gives a lower pressure drop. Side-entry end tanks are often ideal for flow distribution and pressure drop, but in many cases this is not possible due to space constraints in the vehicle.
“Soft mounting” the intercooler with rubber isolators is recommended to protect against vibration damage and reduce thermal expansion stresses.
