FEATURES

Design

The ALTA Performance Version 2.0 top mount intercooler uses a bar and plate intercooler (as described below) because of its huge internal volume and more surface area for better cooling. We also choose this type of core because of its greater resistance to road debris and rocks compared to tube and fin designs. Our end tanks are prescision cast to offer a smooth transition as air flows through the intercooler and back into the intake pipes.  Every unit is pressure tested just before it is placed into the box ensuring now boost pressure lost.

Core Construction

Our intercooler is constructed using a 3/8" Bar and Plate core. This refers to the size of the fins and the bars both being 3/8" tall. This size compared to 1/4" Bar and Plate, gives both the charge air and the ambient air a less restrictive path.  Bar and Plate cores are the most durable intercooler design on the market.

Core dimensions

-Dimensions of OEM core                128cu-in
-Dimensions of Version 2.0 core       275cu-in
-Results                                     ALTA is 214% bigger than OEM
The benefit is more capacity for ambient cooling and charge cooling!

Internal Charge Air Entry

-Internal entry of charge air of OEM               4.74sq-in
-Internal entry of charge air of Version 2.0      8.51sq-in        
-Results                                                  179% bigger than OEM
-The benefit is freer flowing path for the charge air give you less pressure drop.

Internal Charge Air Volume

-Internal entry of charge air of OEM               48.6cu-in
-Internal entry of charge air of Version 2.0      106.3cu-in
-Results                                                  218% bigger than OEM
-The benefit is larger volume for charge air to interact with cooling fins.

External Cooling Capacity

-External cooling fin capacity of ambient air of OEM              51.2cu-in
-External cooling fin capacity of ambient air of Version 2.0     145.5cu-in
-Results                                                                      284% bigger than OEM
-The benefit is larger volume for ambient air to interact with cooling fins. more ambient cooling capacity than OEM. 

Water Spray

Included with your intercooler is a dual stream, 180º water spray jet for extra cooling in extremely hot conditions. Spraying two streams of water in 180º fan patterns will douse every inch of you intercooler cooling through out the entire intercooler core. As air passes through the intercooler the evaporating water continuously cools throughout the entire length of the intercooler.
