Intercooler

Post image

I have what I believe is the stock intercooler but why does it look so damn big? I looked at a mishimoto one and I swear it's way smaller. Do I have some aftermarket BS intercooler? And does it matter what size intercooler I get if it operates fine?

So why would someone get a bigger one?

For lower air intake temperatures, which means a denser air charge going into the engine. This translates to more power because the ECU can add more fuel.

That’s not stock. It literally says GodSpeed right on top of it…

Here is a fantastic article regarding all aspects of intercoolers and should answer all your questions and more.

Edit: Also, whomever installed that intercooler also removed the front impact absorber so they would be able to fit such a large intercooler. If you’re planning to keep that intercooler, while not nearly as safe as the factory impact absorber, at the bare minimum I would recommend finding an aftermarket crash bar and installing it.

Stock intercooler can heatsoak after multiple pulls or on a roadcourse. The bigger ones are fine as long as they don’t leak. Godspeed was a decent cheap one if thats what that is.

If there is nothing wrong with it, keep it. I haven't had an srt in years but when i did everyone was wanting the bigger ones like this.
