Intercooler Core; 22in x 11.8in x 4.5in

The Intercooler Core 22in x 11.8in x 4.5in from Vibrant Performance is a direct-fit replacement and upgrade core designed for forced-induction engines requiring efficient charge-air cooling. Whether you're running a turbocharged or supercharged setup, this core sits at the heart of your intercooling system, working to reduce intake air temperatures and maximize power output. Built for serious enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand consistent performance gains, this core is engineered to handle sustained boost pressures without sacrificing flow or reliability.

This intercooler core employs a tube-and-fin design optimized for heat rejection and pressure drop efficiency, allowing cooler, denser air to enter your engine's combustion chambers. The 22-inch length and 11.8-inch width maximize surface area for thermal transfer while fitting within common OEM and aftermarket intercooler tank configurations. Vibrant Performance's construction uses durable aluminum core material rated for high-boost applications, with welded end tanks that resist deformation under sustained pressure cycles. The 4.5-inch depth balances cooling capacity against packaging constraints, making it compatible with both front-mount and top-mount intercooler designs across domestic and import platforms.

Mechanics and tuners frequently upgrade to this core when existing intercoolers prove insufficient for aggressive tuning, high-ambient climates, or sustained track use where intake air temperatures climb beyond safe thresholds. Installation requires removing the old core from your intercooler tanks and securing this replacement with proper sealing compound and mounting hardware—a task typically completed in under an hour for most applications. This core fits aftermarket intercooler assemblies built around industry-standard dimensions and works with both water-sprayed and dry intercooler setups, making it a versatile choice for LS, EcoBoost, 2JZ, and modern turbo four-cylinder platforms.
