The CSF Hyundai Veloster N / i30 N Stepped-Core Intercooler in Silver represents a pinnacle of engineering excellence and performance enhancement for Hyundai enthusiasts. Developed in collaboration with Bisimoto, a renowned name in Hyundai tuning, this intercooler addresses the critical need for superior heat dissipation and airflow management in high-performance turbocharged vehicles. Originally conceived to support Bisi’s factory-backed Veloster N SEMA project in 2019, the intercooler was designed to overcome the limitations of the OEM unit, which struggled to efficiently manage heat under increased turbocharger output and aggressive tuning.
Drawing inspiration from CSF’s best-selling BMW N54/N55 intercooler, this product incorporates an exclusive rounded bar/plate design on the front face. This innovative feature enhances the intake air’s path by allowing it to curve smoothly around the front bars, rather than colliding and dispersing as it would on a traditional flat-bar intercooler face. This design significantly improves the efficiency of air entering the intercooler core, resulting in better cooling performance and more consistent engine output.
The stepped-core configuration maximizes the available frontal area behind the front bumper and beneath the crash bar, protruding upwards in front of the A.C. condenser while maintaining a precise fit just shy of the crash bar. This unique layout is tailored specifically for both the Veloster N and i30 N models, ensuring an optimal balance between cooling capacity and vehicle integration.
Extensive prototype testing and data acquisition conducted with Bisimoto informed the decision to retain the OEM-sized inlet and outlet connections. This choice minimizes pressure drop despite the intercooler’s larger size, preserving engine responsiveness and efficiency. Additionally, it eliminates the need for costly silicone hose modifications, enabling CSF to offer a high-performance upgrade at a competitive price point without compromising reliability or installation simplicity.
The CSF #8192 intercooler is finished in a durable silver coating, with an alternative black finish available under the part number CSF #8192B. It is important to note that these versions are designed exclusively for manual transmission configurations, while the CSF #8238 and #8238B models cater to DCT-equipped Veloster N and i30 N vehicles.
