Vibrant Performance 12862 Vertical Flow Intercooler Core, 18 x 12 x 6 in, Aluminum

The Vibrant Performance 12862 Vertical Flow Intercooler Core is designed to support efficient charge-air cooling in custom turbocharged and supercharged applications. Its vertical-flow configuration promotes consistent air movement through the core, helping reduce intake-air temperatures and support reliable engine performance. The core is constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in a natural aluminum appearance for a clean, application-ready look.
The Vibrant Performance 12862 intercooler core is well suited for fabrication projects, performance upgrades, and motorsports applications where a dependable bare core is preferred. Its compact rectangular profile provides flexibility for custom mounting and piping layouts, making it a practical choice for builders developing intercooler systems around available space and airflow requirements. The aluminum construction balances strength, heat transfer capability, and weight for performance-oriented installations.
This intercooler core is supplied individually and is intended for custom installation using application-specific end tanks, brackets, charge piping, and mounting hardware. Proper system design should account for airflow direction, piping diameter, boost pressure, and available clearance. Verify fitment and fabrication requirements before installation to ensure the core integrates correctly with the intended vehicle or forced-induction system.
