PREMIUM INTERCOOLER FEATURES & BENEFITS

Heavy-Duty Aluminum Bar & Plate Construction

The SSAUTOCHROME intercooler features a robust bar-and-plate core design intended for demanding turbocharged applications. The internal structure provides a substantial heat-transfer surface area while maintaining a durable aluminum assembly.

Bar-and-plate intercoolers are commonly selected for performance applications requiring a combination of cooling capacity, structural strength and resistance to the demands of boosted intake systems.

Large 24" x 12" Cooling Face

The large intercooler core face provides significant exposure area for ambient airflow, making it suitable for custom front-mount installations where adequate vehicle packaging space is available.

The advertised 4-inch core thickness adds substantial core depth for charge air cooling applications.

3-Inch High-Flow Inlet and Outlet

The 3-inch inlet and outlet connections are designed for integration with compatible aftermarket turbo charge piping, intercooler hoses and silicone couplers.

These connections are commonly used on modified turbocharged engines and custom high-flow intake systems.

Hand-Welded Aluminum Fabrication

The aluminum intercooler assembly features hand-welded construction, providing a durable fabricated design for custom automotive performance use.

Designed for Universal Custom Turbo Applications

This intercooler is not limited to one vehicle platform. It is intended for custom installations where the available mounting space, charge pipe routing and engine airflow requirements are compatible.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SUPERFLOW FLOWBENCH & ENGINE DYNO TESTING

SSAUTOCHROME states that its intercooler development and testing includes the use of SuperFlow equipment, including the SF1020 flowbench and SF-Powermark engine dynamometer for associated turbo system evaluation.

Airflow testing is important because intercooler performance cannot be accurately evaluated from core dimensions alone. A meaningful flow specification should identify the pressure differential at which the airflow was measured.

Why Test Pressure Matters

A flow rating reported in CFM without the corresponding test pressure can be misleading. Higher pressure differentials generally produce higher measured airflow, so flow figures should be compared under equivalent test conditions.

SSAUTOCHROME describes using an industry-standard 28 inches of water (28 inH2O) pressure differential as well as higher-pressure testing conditions during its intercooler evaluation.

Actual airflow and pressure loss depend on core geometry, charge air density, engine airflow demand, temperature and the complete turbocharger installation.

Technical Note: No model-specific CFM, horsepower or pressure-test results were supplied for this particular intercooler. Performance ratings from other intercooler models should not be assumed to apply.

POPULAR UNIVERSAL TURBO INTERCOOLER APPLICATIONS

The SSAUTOCHROME 24" x 12" front mount intercooler is intended for universal custom installation and may be considered for a broad range of turbocharged engine projects.

IMPORTANT FITMENT INFORMATION: All vehicle and engine references are examples of potential custom applications only. This intercooler is not guaranteed to fit any listed vehicle without modification or fabrication.

INSTALLATION & FITMENT REQUIREMENTS

Professional installation is recommended for this universal front mount turbo intercooler.

• Verify actual core thickness and overall dimensions before installation.
• Measure available front bumper and radiator support clearance.
• Confirm adequate space for end tanks and charge pipe connections.
• Use appropriately sized 3-inch silicone couplers and charge piping.
• Fabricate secure mounting brackets suitable for the vehicle.
• Support intercooler piping to minimize vibration and mechanical stress.
• Ensure adequate ambient airflow reaches the intercooler face.
• Inspect clearance around the radiator, condenser and cooling fans.
• Pressure test the completed charge air system before operation.
• Check all brackets, couplers and clamps after initial installation.

Custom installation may require fabrication, bumper modifications, intercooler piping, silicone couplers, hose clamps and mounting hardware.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Charge piping, silicone hoses, clamps, brackets and installation hardware are not specified as included.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What size is this SSAUTOCHROME intercooler?

The advertised core size is 24" x 12" x 4". Confirm actual overall dimensions and thickness before ordering.

Does this intercooler have 3-inch inlet and outlet connections?

Yes. Both connections are specified as 3 inches, approximately 76mm nominal diameter.

Is this a bar-and-plate or tube-and-fin intercooler?

This model is described as an aluminum bar-and-plate front mount intercooler.

Will this intercooler fit a Toyota Supra?

It may be suitable for a custom Supra turbo installation, but it is not guaranteed to be a direct-fit replacement.

Can this intercooler be used on a Nissan 240SX?

It may be suitable for a custom Nissan 240SX turbo build with appropriate mounting brackets and charge piping.

Will it work with a Honda Civic turbo kit?

It may be suitable for a custom Honda Civic turbo system if the dimensions and connections meet the build requirements.

Can this be installed on a Mitsubishi Eclipse or EVO?

The intercooler may be used in custom Mitsubishi turbo applications where sufficient space and compatible piping are available.

Is this intercooler suitable for a turbo LS V8?

It may be considered for custom turbo LS installations. Core selection should be based on actual engine airflow, charge air temperatures and desired operating conditions.

What is the benefit of a front mount intercooler?

A front mount intercooler uses external airflow to remove heat from compressed turbocharger intake air, helping reduce intake temperatures when correctly installed.

What does 28 inH2O flowbench testing mean?

It refers to an airflow measurement performed at a pressure differential of 28 inches of water. The pressure differential must be considered when comparing intercooler flow ratings.

Does this intercooler include installation piping?

Charge piping and installation accessories are not specified as included.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes. Custom mounting, charge pipe fabrication and vehicle modifications may be required.
