The CSF High-Performance Bar & Plate Intercooler Core 27x6x3 - Vertical Flow represents a pinnacle of engineering excellence within the automotive cooling industry. Crafted by CSF, a brand synonymous with quality and reliability, this intercooler core is designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance applications, making it an indispensable component for tuning professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Measuring 27" x 6" x 3" (685mm x 150mm x 75mm), this vertical flow core is rated to handle up to 800 wheel horsepower (WHP), ensuring optimal cooling efficiency even under extreme boost conditions. The core’s construction employs a heavy-duty bar and plate design, which is widely recognized for its superior strength, durability, and thermal conductivity. This robust architecture facilitates efficient heat dissipation, thereby maintaining lower intake air temperatures and improving engine performance and reliability.
Each intercooler core undergoes meticulous hand-building processes within CSF’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Utilizing precision jigs and fixtures guarantees a perfectly straight core, which significantly simplifies welding and installation. The assembly takes place in a clean room environment, where operators use gloves to maintain an immaculate surface, ensuring flawless brazing and a contamination-free finish. This attention to detail not only enhances the product’s longevity but also supports consistent performance in demanding conditions.
The core features a multi-louvered high precision staggered fin design on both the ambient and pressure sides. This advanced fin architecture maximizes heat transfer efficiency by increasing the surface area exposed to airflow while maintaining optimal pressure drop characteristics. Such a design is critical for maintaining peak intercooling performance, especially in high-boost scenarios where thermal management is paramount.
CSF employs a batch brazing process conducted in their digital vacuum brazing ovens—12 ovens in total—ensuring uniform and high-quality joints throughout the core. This sophisticated brazing technique contributes to the structural integrity and leak-free operation of the intercooler, which is further validated by individual pressure testing at 120 psi. This rigorous quality control protocol guarantees that each core can withstand the stresses of extreme boost pressures without compromising reliability.
