ProCharger Air-to-Air Intercooler - Opposite Side Inlet/Outlet - 3.5 Inch - 1300 HP - AI045A-001
Maximum Airflow Air-to-Air Intercooler for 1,300 HP Forced Induction Builds
The ProCharger AI045A-001 Air-to-Air Intercooler is engineered for extreme custom supercharger and turbocharger applications where maximum airflow and charge-air cooling are essential. Featuring opposite-side 3.5-inch inlet and outlet connections, this intercooler is capable of supporting applications producing up to 1,300 horsepower, making it an outstanding choice for serious street, drag racing, and competition vehicles.
Constructed with a rugged bar-and-plate core and heavy-duty sheet metal end tanks, the AI045A-001 efficiently removes heat from compressed intake air before it enters the engine. Cooler, denser intake air helps deliver more consistent horsepower, minimizes heat soak, and improves engine reliability under sustained high-boost operation.
Built for Extreme Horsepower Applications
The combination of a 27-inch wide core, a substantial 4.5-inch core thickness, and oversized 3.5-inch inlet and outlet connections provides outstanding airflow and cooling capacity for four-digit horsepower combinations. The opposite-side inlet and outlet configuration also simplifies charge pipe routing for many custom front-mounted intercooler installations.
Whether you're fabricating a ProCharger-powered race car or assembling a high-output turbocharged build, the AI045A-001 delivers the cooling performance needed to support serious horsepower levels.
