Product Description

The **Vibrant 12971** is a high-performance water-to-air intercooler core engineered to deliver excellent cooling in compact forced-induction setups. Its bar-and-plate construction ensures efficient heat rejection, making it well-suited for high-boost or high-heat applications.

Thanks to its compact 12" x 4" x 4" size, it can be installed in tight locations where traditional air-to-air cores won't fit, giving you more flexibility in piping design. The aluminum core provides a strong thermal transfer coefficient while keeping weight low.

Whether you're building a charge-cooling system for a drag car, a race vehicle, or a custom turbo setup, this intercooler core offers reliable performance. It's designed for integration into water/charge piping systems and provides a solid base for high-demand cooling without sacrificing space.
