This BladeRunner Intercooler represents the next generation of intercoolers. BladeRunner Intercoolers utilize a 2.5" bar-and-plate design that is larger than stock and outflows OE-style tube-and-fin core designs by 38%! End Tanks: The unique BladeRunner end tanks are constructed from 3/16'' TIG-welded aluminum plates that incorporate 3 multi-directional vanes. Multi-Directional Vane Technology: The BladeRunner MDV technology is used to direct hot airflow through the entire intercooler core. This allows for greater cooling than competitor units. 2.5" Bar-and-Plate Core Design: The bar-and-plate core design allows for greater airflow and increased heat dissipation over the much-smaller tube-and-fin design used by the OEM. Multiple Auxiliary Ports: 4 tapped 1/8" ports are supplied on the intercooler for easy installation of gauges or nitrous oxide systems. Billet Aluminum Inlet/Outlets: Each BladeRunner Intercooler uses billet aluminum inlets and outlets for superior sturdiness and longevity. This intercooler also features 3" inlet/outlet connections mated to oversized boost tubes (included). TIG Welded: 100% TIG welded by certified craftsmen for race-proven strength and durability. TIG welding provides the strongest welds, reducing stress cracks. Flow and Performance: The intercooler tubes provided are constructed of 3" mandrel-bent powder-coated stainless-steel tubing for maximum flow. Smooth transition bends allow for low turbulence, increasing horsepower and torque and lowering EGTs. Comes complete with 4-ply heavy-duty couplings and constant-tension T-bolt clamps for a tight and secure installation. The BladeRunner Intercooler is test pressure rated at 200 psi, which is perfect for high-boost applications.
