Construction & Design

The BladeRunner GT Series intercooler features a robust bar and plate core design that outperforms the factory tube and fin style cores by increasing surface area for heat dissipation and allowing greater airflow volume. This is critical for maintaining lower intake air temperatures during heavy engine loads.

Its aluminum end tanks are precision tag-welded using TIG welding techniques by certified craftsmen, ensuring exceptional strength and durability to endure high-performance conditions. The MDV technology channels airflow across the entire core face rather than just the shortest path, resulting in more uniform cooling and enhanced thermal efficiency.

Durability is further enhanced with stainless steel T-bolt clamps and reinforced silicone couplings, providing a secure, long-lasting seal that resists leaks and deterioration over time.
