The CSF Hyundai Veloster N / i30 N (DCT) Stepped-Core Intercooler in Silver represents a significant advancement in intercooling technology, specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance Hyundai N models. Developed in collaboration with Bisimoto, a renowned name in Hyundai tuning, this intercooler addresses the limitations found in the OEM intercooler when subjected to enhanced turbocharging and aggressive tuning setups.
Originally, Bisimoto approached CSF in 2019 seeking an upgraded intercooler solution for his factory-backed Veloster N SEMA project. The project pushed the boundaries of the N platform by incorporating upgraded turbos and high-performance tuning, which exposed the OEM intercooler's inability to efficiently dissipate heat generated by the turbo system. Drawing from CSF’s expertise and technology proven in their best-selling BMW N54/N55 intercooler, the Veloster N / i30 N intercooler features a front face with CSF’s exclusive rounded bar/plate design. This innovative design enhances airflow by guiding incoming air smoothly around the front bars, avoiding the turbulence and scattering typical of traditional flat-bar faced intercoolers.
The intercooler’s stepped-core design is a hallmark feature that maximizes the frontal area available behind the front bumper and beneath the crash bar. This stepped-core protrudes upward in front of the A.C. condenser and is precisely positioned just shy of the crash bar, optimizing cooling efficiency without compromising vehicle fitment or structural integrity. Extensive prototype testing and data acquisition in partnership with Bisimoto confirmed the advantage of retaining the OEM-sized inlet and outlet connections. This design choice minimizes pressure drop despite the intercooler’s larger size, ensuring optimal performance while eliminating the need for costly and unnecessary silicone hoses. As a result, CSF delivers an exceptional value proposition to the Hyundai N community, offering one of the largest and most effective drop-in intercoolers on the market at a competitive price point.
The CSF #8238 intercooler comes in a sleek silver finish and is specifically designed for dual-clutch transmission (DCT) equipped Veloster N and i30 N models. For manual transmission variants, CSF offers the #8192 and #8192B versions. Additionally, a black finish option is available for the DCT model under the part number CSF #8238B.
