XS-POWER LARGE-CAPACITY 1000HP FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER
Engineered for serious forced-induction performance, the XS-POWER 31-inch aluminum bar-and-plate turbo intercooler is designed for high-horsepower turbocharged applications requiring substantial charge air cooling capacity, robust construction and efficient airflow.
This large front mount intercooler features a 24" x 12" x 4" aluminum bar-and-plate core with an overall dimension of 31" x 12" x 4", providing a substantial cooling surface for demanding turbocharger systems.
Featuring 3-inch inlet and outlet connections, robotically TIG-welded aluminum construction and a manufacturer-stated 1000 engine horsepower capacity, this intercooler is intended for custom street performance, drag racing, track builds, high-boost engine conversions and custom turbo fabrication projects.
The supplied airflow specifications include 385 CFM at 28 inches of water pressure differential and 635 CFM at 50 inches of water pressure differential. These ratings provide additional technical information for builders evaluating intercooler airflow characteristics.
The intercooler is also specified as pressure tested to 50 PSI for 24 hours, supporting its intended use in demanding charge air cooling systems.
PREMIUM PERFORMANCE FEATURES
1. HEAVY-DUTY BAR & PLATE INTERCOOLER CORE
The XS-POWER intercooler uses a heavy-duty aluminum bar-and-plate core designed to provide substantial heat-transfer surface area and structural durability for high-output turbocharged applications.
Bar-and-plate construction is widely used in performance charge air cooling systems because of its robust core architecture and suitability for demanding boosted applications.
2. LARGE 24" x 12" x 4" COOLING CORE
The substantial 24-inch-wide, 12-inch-tall and 4-inch-thick core provides a large heat-transfer area for compressed intake air.
Its approximately 100mm core thickness makes it suitable for custom applications where significant intercooler capacity is desired and adequate airflow and installation space are available.
3. 31-INCH OVERALL WIDTH
With an overall width of 31 inches, this intercooler is intended for custom front-mount installations in vehicles with sufficient bumper and chassis clearance.
The 31-inch overall dimension includes the end tank and outlet configuration and should be used when planning vehicle fitment.
4. HIGH-FLOW 3-INCH INLET AND OUTLET
The 3-inch inlet and outlet connections allow integration with compatible 3-inch charge air piping, silicone couplers and custom turbocharger plumbing.
This connection size is commonly used in high-output forced-induction applications where airflow requirements exceed those of smaller factory charge air systems.
5. 385 CFM AND 635 CFM FLOW SPECIFICATIONS
The supplied airflow data provides two measured flow conditions:
- 385 CFM at 28 inH2O pressure differential
- 635 CFM at 50 inH2O pressure differential
These values describe airflow through the intercooler under the specified pressure-differential test conditions. Actual airflow in a completed turbo system will vary with operating conditions.
6. 50 PSI PRESSURE TESTED CONSTRUCTION
According to the manufacturer specifications, the intercooler is pressure tested to 50 PSI and held for 24 hours.
This pressure test specification is intended to support confidence in the integrity of the aluminum core, end tanks and welded connections.
7. ROBOTIC TIG-WELDED ALUMINUM
Robotically TIG-welded aluminum construction provides consistent fabrication of the intercooler assembly and supports durability in demanding automotive performance environments.
8. MULTIPLE THREADED MOUNTING POINTS
Integrated mounting locations feature M8 x 1.25 threads for fabrication of suitable upper and lower intercooler brackets.
The intercooler must be supported at both the top and bottom mounting locations. Do not hang the intercooler solely from its upper mounting points.

WHY INTERCOOLER EFFICIENCY MATTERS
Turbochargers compress intake air to increase the amount of oxygen available for combustion. During compression, charge air temperature increases, potentially reducing air density and increasing the engine's thermal load.
A properly sized front mount intercooler transfers heat from compressed intake air to the surrounding ambient airflow.
By reducing charge air temperature, an efficient intercooler can help support:
- Improved intake charge density
- More consistent performance during repeated acceleration
- Reduced intake temperature compared with an uncooled charge system
- High-output turbocharger system efficiency
- Greater thermal management capability in demanding applications
- Support for performance tuning when matched to the engine system
Cooling performance depends on vehicle speed, airflow through the core, ambient temperature, turbocharger efficiency, boost pressure, charge piping and engine operating conditions.
BAR & PLATE VS. SMALLER FACTORY INTERCOOLERS
Many factory turbocharged vehicles use intercoolers designed around original engine power, packaging requirements and production operating conditions.
When power levels increase significantly, a larger charge air cooling system may be required to manage increased airflow and heat generated by the turbocharger.
The XS-POWER 24" x 12" x 4" bar-and-plate core provides a large cooling surface intended for custom high-performance builds.
Its heavy-duty construction makes it a potential option for high-boost systems where durability and cooling capacity are important.
The ideal intercooler size depends on actual engine airflow, pressure loss, cooling efficiency, available frontal airflow and vehicle packaging.
AIRFLOW PERFORMANCE - 385 CFM / 635 CFM
Airflow restriction is an important consideration when selecting an intercooler for a high-output turbocharger system.
The supplied flow ratings for this XS-POWER intercooler are:
These are two separate flow-test conditions and should not be interpreted as maximum airflow capacity under all operating conditions.
For reference, 28 inH2O is approximately 1.01 PSI and 50 inH2O is approximately 1.81 PSI of pressure differential.
Actual intercooler pressure loss in a running engine depends on mass airflow, temperature, charge density and system design.
