High-Performance Same Side Air-to-Air Intercooler for 825 HP Forced Induction Builds
The ProCharger AI003A-003 Air-to-Air Intercooler is engineered for custom supercharger and turbocharger applications that require exceptional charge-air cooling while utilizing a same side inlet and outlet configuration. Featuring 3-inch inlet and outlet connections, this intercooler is designed to support applications producing up to 825 horsepower, making it an outstanding choice for high-performance street cars, drag builds, road race vehicles, and custom engine swaps. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Constructed with a rugged bar-and-plate core and durable sheet metal end tanks, the AI003A-003 efficiently removes heat from compressed intake air before it reaches the engine. Cooler, denser intake air helps deliver more consistent horsepower, reduces heat soak, and improves engine reliability during repeated high-boost operation.
Same Side Configuration with Increased Cooling Capacity
The same side inlet and outlet design simplifies charge pipe routing in applications where both charge pipes are best positioned on one side of the intercooler. Its generous 27-inch wide by 12.5-inch tall core provides significantly greater cooling capacity than smaller intercoolers while maintaining a compact 3-inch core thickness for versatile installation options. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Whether you're fabricating a custom ProCharger installation or designing a one-off turbocharged combination, the AI003A-003 provides the airflow and cooling efficiency needed to support serious horsepower levels.
