Intercoolers

Intercoolers are a critical component of forced induction systems, designed to reduce the temperature of compressed air before it enters the engine. By cooling the intake charge, intercoolers help maintain air density and improve combustion efficiency, making them vital for turbocharged and supercharged applications. An air to water intercooler uses a liquid coolant to dissipate heat more effectively in compact spaces, providing a stable intake temperature under varying conditions. The Mishimoto intercooler is a popular option for its precision engineering and thermal efficiency, making it a common choice in performance setups. A turbo intercooler works in conjunction with intercooler piping and a charge pipe to deliver cooled air to the intake manifold, supporting higher boost levels and consistent engine performance. Together, these components form an essential part of any boosted engine’s intake and cooling system.
