The CSF Hyundai Veloster N / i30 N Stepped-Core Intercooler in black represents a significant advancement in cooling technology tailored specifically for high-performance Hyundai N models. Developed in collaboration with Bisimoto, a renowned name in Hyundai tuning, this intercooler addresses the critical need for efficient heat dissipation in turbocharged engines pushed beyond factory specifications.
Since 2019, Bisimoto has partnered with CSF to enhance the factory-backed Veloster N SEMA project, which featured upgraded turbos and high-performance tuning. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) intercooler was unable to adequately manage the increased heat generated by the enhanced turbo system, leading to diminished performance. Drawing from CSF’s expertise and technology proven in their top-selling BMW N54/N55 intercooler, the Veloster N / i30 N intercooler incorporates a rounded bar/plate design on its front face. This innovative design optimizes airflow by guiding air smoothly around the front bars, reducing turbulence and improving cooling efficiency compared to traditional flat-bar faced intercoolers.
The stepped-core design is a key feature that maximizes the frontal surface area available behind the front bumper and beneath the crash bar. This design protrudes upward in front of the air conditioning condenser and fits precisely just shy of the crash bar for both Veloster N and i30 N models, ensuring optimal placement for heat exchange without compromising vehicle integrity.
Extensive prototype testing and data acquisition conducted alongside Bisimoto confirmed the decision to retain OEM-sized inlet and outlet connections. This choice minimizes pressure drop despite the intercooler’s larger size, maintaining efficient airflow and engine responsiveness. Furthermore, this design eliminates the need for additional silicone hoses, reducing complexity and cost, thereby offering the N community a superior product at an aggressive price point without sacrificing quality or reliability.
The CSF #8192B intercooler is finished in a sleek black coating, with an alternative silver finish available under part number CSF #8192. It is important to note that the #8192/8192B models are compatible exclusively with manual transmission variants, while the #8238/8238B versions cater to DCT-equipped Veloster N and i30 N vehicles.
