Vortech Power Cooler Upgrade Kit - Black (1986-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0L) 8N301-014
Black Air-to-Water Power Cooler Upgrade for Fox Body Mustang 5.0L
The Vortech Power Cooler Upgrade Kit (PN 8N301-014) is an air-to-water charge cooler upgrade engineered for 1986-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0L vehicles equipped with a Vortech non-cooled H.O. Supercharging System. This package converts an existing non-cooled setup to a charge-cooled configuration, significantly reducing inlet air temperatures and improving consistency under boost.
When installed on an otherwise stock 5.0L Mustang LX, GT, or Cobra, this upgrade is designed to support approximately 8-10 PSI of boost. Lower charge temperatures help improve power stability, reduce detonation risk, and support more aggressive tuning compared to non-cooled systems.
Air-to-Water Charge Cooling Benefits
The Vortech Power Cooler utilizes an air-to-water heat exchanger to manage intake air temperatures more effectively than non-intercooled systems. This design provides rapid heat rejection during boost events, making it well suited for street/strip Fox Body Mustangs that see repeated pulls or extended load.
Upgrade Package Overview
This kit includes the necessary components required to convert a Vortech 1986-1993 H.O. Supercharging System from a non-cooled configuration to a charge-cooled system. It is intended as a factory-style upgrade path for existing Vortech installations.
Important Installation Requirement
Battery relocation is required for proper installation. This upgrade requires the use of the Vortech Battery Relocation Kit (PN 8N150-010), which is not included with this package.
