After a full year of testing and validation, Custom Performance Engineering(cp-e™) is pleased to announce the release of the ∆Core™ Front Mount Intercooler. Being a true “from follows function” design, this intercooler was created from the ground up to outcool, and downright outperform the stock top mount intercooler in every respect. The end result does exactly that, and will maintain its superior efficiency all the way up to 450bhp.

The 20”x6”x3” bar and plate intercooler core is nestled between the bumper and the air conditioning condenser with a slight rake. The end tanks also feature a baffle to ensure that the incoming airflow is equally dispersed along the entire length of the intercooler. Both the 2.25” hot and cold pipes enter the vertical flow core from the driver’s side, which eliminates a potentially detrimental 180° bend. And of course, all the hardware including the intercooler pipes are aluminum as opposed to mild steel both for weight savings and for added heat transfer while the air is sliding it’s way through the intricate piping. These are the kind of clever details that we engineer into all of our products, and is also what makes this more than just any front mount intercooler kit.

Still not convinced that we manufacture the finest front mount intercooler available for the SPEED3? We realize that people won’t buy a product solely based on a manufacturer’s word, so we validated our design by measuring the overall thermal efficiency, pressure drop, heat soak, and thermal response of both the stock and cp-e™ intercoolers.
