VRSF Intercooler Fin Pack Revision Update!

We just wanted to post a quick thread updating everyone about our new fin pack revision on our 5" stepped street intercoolers. After extensive research and testing we've decided to upgrade both the internal and external fin packs on our standard cores in order to better suit the upgraded turbo solutions that have now become available.

Any street or intercooler that has been ordered in the past couple months will already have the denser fin pack which is now almost double the density of our older fin pack. The denser fin pack offers a higher overall surface area which significantly increases heat dissipation and keeps the intake temps nice and low.

Here's a comparison of the new fin pack:

We also have a new intercooler in the works which will bridge the gap in size between the existing street intercoolers and "generic" street sized intercoolers and our Race intercooler. By street sized I mean our street intercooler as well as the generic Wagner/AA/ BMS/CTS/eBay intercoolers which all are identical in terms of dimensions. This will feature the same HD fin pack as our Race HD intercooler which has proven to perform well on both the street and the track.

For those interested in maxing out their stock turbo or upgrading the turbo in the future, our Race intercooler is currently the largest intercooler available for this platform and also features the highest density fin pack available @ about 20 fins per inch, pictured below. It's not uncommon to see intake temps actually drop on 3-4 gear pulls with this intercooler. and this fin pack is the same that's featured on Motiv's record breaking 1000whp N54 shop car.

Tiago,

What is the minimum intercooler for running a stage 2 tune. Just for spirited street/highway use, not track.

There are different choices for the two links:

http://www.vr-speed.com/vrsf-7-front...2-e90-e92.html

http://www.vr-speed.com/vrsf-interco...i-n20-n55.html

Is your previous "street core" now the same as "HD core"?



Thanks
B

The best option for a street driven car is the 5" stepped in the HD option.
