Product Description
Building a performance vehicle is a quest for balance between opposing needs. Form vs function. Power vs weight. Strength vs lightness. Most of the time, one of those needs is more important to the build, so the other is sacrificed. But here at Mishimoto, we're done sacrificing. Thanks to our exclusive carbon fiber intercooler, you can have it all: aesthetics, performance, strength, and lightness all rolled into one innovative package.
The end tanks are formed from solid 3K twill-woven carbon fiber. Carbon fiber gives our end tanks more strength than aluminum at nearly half the weight. Three sizes of custom-engineered cores between the carbon fiber end tanks, combined with 3-inch inlets optimized for flow, ensure our intercooler is up to the task for builds producing up to 950 horsepower and 30 PSI of boost. The one-of-a-kind V-band core clamps hold the end tanks tight to the core under boost without the use of adhesives that can fail after repeated heat cycles. To ensure the end tanks can hold up to the rigors of road or track, they've been independently laboratory tested to SAE J400 standards for gravel impacts. With the Mishimoto carbon fiber intercooler, you don't have to sacrifice performance or strength for lightness.
Carbon fiber isn't just strong, it's one of the most stunning raw materials available. Nothing beats the look of precisely woven carbon fiber; except precisely woven carbon fiber in your choice of matte or gloss finish, paired with eight different anodized V-band clamp colors, and three core colors. Over 280 combinations of colors and configurations mean the Mishimoto carbon fiber intercooler will fit any build and look good doing it. Universal M8 mounting bosses on either side of the core make mounting easy.
Each Mishimoto Universal Carbon Fiber Intercooler is hand built to order in our Wilmington, DE facility and, like all our products, they're backed by our Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty for a lifetime of uncompromising performance. So, if you're tired of making sacrifices in your build, stop choosing "either or" and give your vehicle all the performance, strength, lightness, and style it deserves.

| FAQ | Carbon Fiber Intercooler FAQ
Q: Why would I want carbon fiber end tanks on an intercooler? Is the carbon fiber just for looks? A: Forming the end tanks from carbon fiber allowed us to reallocate the weight saved over aluminum end tanks into a more efficient core. That means our carbon fiber intercooler is up to 34.9% more efficient than a comparable tube-and-fin intercooler, without weighing more. Q: How are these constructed without adhesive? A: Our end tanks are joined to the core without any adhesive. The patent-pending mechanical connection between the core and the end tanks is designed to allow the core to expand and contract as it heats and cools while maintaining a seal against boost pressure. Q: How strong is this carbon fiber compared to a regular aluminum intercooler? A: The 3K twill-woven carbon fiber we use for our end tanks is stronger than aluminum at nearly 1/4 of the weight. The end tanks were tested by a third party laboratory to exceed SAE J400 standards for gravel impacts, meaning they're strong enough to be front and center on your vehicle without worrying about road debris. If it won't crack an aluminum end tank, it won't crack our carbon fiber end tanks. Q: What happens if I exceed the recommended boost pressure? Will the ends tanks fracture? A: Our end tank clamping system allows for a flexible seal up to 32 psi of boost pressure. If that boost pressure is exceeded, the end tanks will simply vent the excess pressure through the seal and return to a sealed state when the pressure drops to rated levels. Because there's no adhesive or rigid sealant to fail, exceeding the recommended boost limit will not permanently damage the end tanks. Q: Wouldn't a heavier core cool be better? A: Effective heat transfer can be achieved by adding more mass to the core, but it can also be achieved by utilizing the core's mass more effectively. Our tube-and-fin core is denser than comparable cores, and we use every square-inch of that density to cool the charge air. Louvered external fins and offset internal fins circulate air across more of the tube, effectively increasing the cooling surface area without adding more mass. These details allow our core to be 34.9% more efficient than larger cores while weighing less. |
