Intercoolers provide more power and reliability to any turbocharged vehicle. Intercoolers are heat exchangers, which are used to quickly cool down and dissipate the heat from the intake charge. During intense driving, the turbo compressor wheel super-heats. As a result, compressed air is forced through the turbochargers. Super-heated air reduces the density of the charge air, increasing the chance of detonation and reducing the power output of the vehicle. BLITZ intercoolers are designed to give maximum cooling capacity while allowing for minimal pressure drop. This is especially important if boost pressure is being raised, greatly reducing the chance of detonation. BLITZ intercoolers are designed to flow considerably more amount of air than the stock intercooler by consistently and rapidly drawing away heat. With its tube and fin design a much greater cooling effect is achieved. Each BLITZ Intercooler Kit is individually designed for each vehicle produce maximum efficiency and performance. All BLITZ intercooler kits come complete with aluminum piping and all the necessary hardware.

 

 

What is an intercooler? Why buy an intercooler?
Both superchargers and turbochargers heat air as they compress it. This heat can hurt the combustion process by changing the density of air entering the intake manifold from a cool charge to a hot one. An intercooler is used to lower the temperature of the air and in turn increase the density of that air, so more air can enter the cylinders and create more power.

Do intercoolers work for any vehicle? Is there any pre-condition needed for me to buy an intercooler?
Intercoolers are sold either individually as universal cores or as kits with piping and couplers included. Turbocharged and supercharged engines can utilize intercoolers effectively while naturally aspirated vehicles do not have use for them.

How do you install an intercooler?
Intercoolers are installed using piping kits. If there is a kit available for your car, intercoolers are placed in their desired location and piping routed to both the throttle body and the turbocharger side. Sometimes piping kits are not available and custom piping will need to be made.
