Vibrant Performance's new Water to Air intercooler cores offer superior cooling for high-performance vehicles, particularly those with high boost and heat demands. These intercoolers are compact, lightweight, and more efficient than traditional Air to Air cores due to water's superior cooling properties. They don't require ambient air flow, providing more flexible installation options, and are less affected by speed or temperature fluctuations. Ideal for forced induction applications, especially in drag racing, these cores feature durable bar and plate construction, optimized fins for maximum efficiency, and come in three sizes supporting 500HP to 1000HP. Vibrant also offers compatible plumbing components, custom tubing options, and heat exchangers for a complete cooling system.
