Product Information

An intercooler is a heat exchanger used in turbocharged or supercharged engines to cool the compressed air before it enters the engine’s intake manifold.

Purpose:

• Reduce air temperature: Compressed air from the turbo or supercharger heats up; cooler air is denser and contains more oxygen, which improves combustion efficiency.
• Improve engine performance: Cooler, denser air allows more fuel to burn, increasing power.
• Protect the engine: Reduces the risk of knocking and excessive thermal stress.

Intercoolers can be air-to-air (uses ambient air to cool the compressed air) or air-to-liquid (uses a coolant or water). They are typically mounted in front of the radiator or in a dedicated location in the engine bay.

• Reduced Engine Power or Boost: Leaks or blockages prevent the engine from receiving properly compressed, cooled air.
• Hissing or Whistling Noise: Air escaping from cracks or loose connections under boost produces noticeable sounds.
• Increased Intake Air Temperature: Engine may run hotter, reducing performance and efficiency.
