Designed and manufactured by CSF, a trusted name in high-performance cooling systems, this intercooler core is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of extreme boost applications, making it an ideal choice for professional tuners and performance enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 18\" x 12\" x 4.5\", this horizontal flow core is rated to support up to 1000 wheel horsepower (WHP), ensuring it can handle the thermal loads generated by high-output engines without compromising efficiency. The core’s construction utilizes a heavy-duty bar and plate design, which provides superior strength and optimal heat dissipation compared to conventional intercooler cores. This robust design is essential for maintaining consistent performance under the most challenging conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach CSF intercooler core undergoes meticulous hand-building processes within a controlled clean room environment. Skilled technicians use specialized jigs and fixtures to guarantee a perfectly straight core, facilitating precise and reliable welding during installation. The use of gloves throughout assembly ensures that the brazing surfaces remain uncontaminated, promoting superior brazing quality and a clean surface for any future welding work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the core’s standout features is its multi-louvered, high-precision staggered fin design applied to both the ambient and pressure sides of the core. This design maximizes heat transfer efficiency by optimizing airflow and thermal exchange, which is critical for maintaining lower intake air temperatures and enhancing overall engine performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturing excellence is further demonstrated by the batch brazing process conducted in CSF’s state-of-the-art digital vacuum brazing ovens—12 ovens in total—ensuring uniform quality and structural integrity across every unit. Each core is individually pressure tested at 120 psi, a rigorous quality control measure that guarantees maximum reliability and leak-free operation even under extreme boost pressures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-Duty Bar \u0026amp; Plate Intercooler Cores engineered for durability and performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePressure Tested at 120psi to ensure maximum reliability in extreme boost environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-Built using precision jigs and fixtures for a perfectly straight core, facilitating easy and accurate welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured in a clean room environment with strict contamination controls to ensure proper brazing and a clean surface for future welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-Louvered High Precision Staggered Fin Design on both ambient and pressure sides for superior heat transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBatch Brazed in advanced digital vacuum brazing ovens for consistent quality and strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubjected to strict quality control and individual pressure testing for guaranteed performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndividually boxed and protected to ensure secure transport through single piece mail services\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 12\" x 12\" x 4.5\" (455mm x 300mm x 115mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHorsepower Rating: 1000 WHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCross-flow design for optimal airflow and cooling efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eApplications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eChassis Code\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eEngine \/ Trans \/ Etc\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eNotes\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUniversal\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUniversal\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eOEM Part Numbers\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e*Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooling Systems and Flexibles, Inc.
