CSF Air-to-Water Bar & Plate Intercooler Core 8.5L x 4.5H x 6W

The CSF Air-to-Water Bar & Plate Intercooler Core measuring 8.5" x 4.5" x 6" (215mm x 115mm x 150mm) represents a pinnacle of engineering excellence designed for high-performance automotive applications. Engineered to support up to 800 wheel horsepower (WHP), this intercooler core is ideally suited for custom-built, high-boost setups requiring superior thermal management and durability. CSF’s commitment to quality and precision is evident in every aspect of this product, ensuring reliability and performance under the most demanding conditions.

Manufactured using a robust bar and plate construction, the core is pressure tested at 120 psi to guarantee maximum reliability in extreme boost environments. This rigorous testing protocol ensures that the intercooler core withstands the stresses of high-performance tuning without compromising structural integrity or cooling efficiency.

Each core is meticulously hand-built within a controlled clean room environment at the CSF factory. Skilled technicians utilize specialized jigs and fixtures to maintain perfect straightness, which facilitates precise and secure welding during installation. The use of gloves during assembly further ensures that the brazing surfaces remain uncontaminated, promoting optimal brazing quality and a clean surface for future welding operations.

One of the defining features of this intercooler core is its advanced multi-louvered, high-precision staggered fin design. This design is applied to both the ambient and pressure sides of the core, maximizing heat transfer efficiency and thereby enhancing the cooling capacity of the system. This innovative fin configuration reduces air resistance while improving thermal exchange, directly contributing to improved engine performance and longevity.

The core undergoes batch brazing within CSF’s state-of-the-art digital vacuum brazing ovens—12 ovens in total—ensuring uniform brazing quality across every unit produced. This process not only strengthens the core’s structural components but also enhances its resistance to corrosion and thermal fatigue, critical factors in maintaining long-term performance.
