HF-Series intercooler for Hyundai i20 N (i20 III BC3)

This upgraded intercooler for the Hyundai i20 N is a highlight of the HF-Series range. The high-quality HFT core provides excellent cooling performance, delivering strong performance even under demanding conditions while remaining highly robust. It offers high resistance to heat and warms up less than comparable cores from other manufacturers.

The entire system is designed for optimum airflow. Pressure loss is minimal, and the complete charge-air path was developed using CAD flow analyses. This also includes the intercooler end tanks, which are made from high-strength cast aluminium.

Product benefits:

• significantly cooler charge air, improving combustion in the engine,
• quicker engine response,
• improved airflow.

This makes the product suitable both for standard power and for motorsport, as considerably higher power outputs are also possible. Each intercooler was built for the relevant vehicle, calculated using flow simulations and tested on a dynamometer.

The intercooler mounts to the original mounting points of the original OEM intercooler, so no major modifications are required. Installation can be carried out by the customer using a well-equipped tool kit.

What does an upgraded intercooler provide?

To express the exact power increase from an intercooler in figures, many unknown factors must be considered, including factory power variation, other hardware changes and the software used during measurement. This differs from vehicle to vehicle. As a rule of thumb for engines with increased power, an increase of up to 5–10% can be expected.

At least as important is the fact that, at high outside temperatures, the upgraded intercooler helps prevent power loss or the activation of the temperature protection stored in many engine control units. This allows the engine to deliver its full power in demanding conditions, whether it has already been software-optimised or remains standard.

Recommendation

Use the HF-Series intercooler together with hardware and software optimisation. Reducing back pressure, thereby relieving the turbocharger, and cooling the charge air, which increases the oxygen content in the combustion chamber and reduces thermal load, allows the potential of any turbocharged engine to be used efficiently.

Suitable for: Hyundai I20 III (BC3).
