An intercooler is, at its essence, a heat exchanger in turbo or supercharged engines. Its primary responsibility is to take the extract the charge heat, caused by turbo pressure increase, and releases it into the air like the car radiator. Cooler and denser air can then enter the engine and results in more torque and power. Performance Diesel Intercoolers are leaders in optimising the performance of your intercooler without compromising your vehicle.

Understanding the Benefits of a High-Performance Intercooler

Almost every driver craves more power in their vehicle, and with turbocharged engines, an intercooler works to produce power while keeping temperatures low. However, before you install a performance intercooler, you should educate yourself on how it works.

• You do not require an intercooler if you don’t have a turbocharged or supercharged engine. The temperature of the air intake on a Naturally Aspirated engine is as low as it can be, thus adding an intercooler increases drag to the airflow.

• When the intake air temperature is high, it results in a richer hotter burn which is not ideal for diesels. Reducing the temperature by ten degrees results in a gain of one percent horsepower. The intercooler can drastically reduce the temperature of the intake air, thus causing more fuel to burn as a result of the oxygen present in cooler air. The equation is fairly simple; the more fuel burned, the more power transfers to your vehicle.

• The more load is placed on the engine, such as when towing or driving through heavy sand the higher the intake temps can rise – effective intercooling can control this. With insufficient or no intercooling older engines will exhibit rising exhaust gas temperatures and modern (common rail) engines monitor the intake temperature so they can pull back on the fuel (power) to preserve the engine.

• The task of the intercooler is to cool the intake air before it reaches the engine. Ideally, it should be situated in front of the radiator, so it receives the cooled air first. All turbo vehicles will benefit from a customised intercooler or an improvement on the standard, factory-fitted intercooler.

Upgrade Your Ride's Cooling Efficiency with a Custom Front Mounted Intercooler for Diesel Engines

Our Founder and Owner, Brain Wiese, has always been passionate about pursuing maximum power capabilities in modern diesel engines. Over the years, we’ve realised that our custom installations of intercoolers delivered results which led to our establishment.

• One of our values is honesty. We believe in being truthful with our customers instead of pushing for a sale. Our advice is free, and if that means we don’t think your setup requires one of our intercoolers or other items then we will suggest other options that might be more suitable. We strive to ensure we offer exceptional value for money to every client. 

• Our front-mounted intercoolers will provide you with more power, especially if you load your engine. Towing vans or trailers require an extra demand in cooling performance and our systems allow for up to three times the power of factory-fitted intercoolers.

• All our piping is stainless steel as it has a low-heat transfer ideal in tight spaces. Furthermore, it's easily cleaned thanks to its polished surface.
