Product Description

The Vibrant Performance 12853 Vertical Flow Intercooler Core is a universal, high-performance charge-air cooler designed to improve intake air temperature in forced-induction applications. With a large core size of 22" wide by 14" high and 4.5" thick, this intercooler core delivers significant cooling capacity for turbocharged and supercharged engines. Its bar and plate construction offers excellent strength and heat dissipation, while the vertical flow design and optimized fin layout help reduce pressure drop and improve cooling efficiency.

Built from durable 6061 aluminum, the 12853 core is suitable for street, track, and high-boost builds seeking more consistent, cooler intake air. Because it's a universal component without vehicle-specific restrictions, it can be welded to custom end tanks or integrated into bespoke intercooler systems for a wide range of performance projects and platforms.
