An expanded core capacity and use of optimal fin pitch reduces pressure loss and improves cooling performance. This also helps reduce the burden on the turbocharger as well. By reducing the variation of the cross section of the side tank, intake air flows across the whole of the core. The intercooler is designed to be mounted as vertical as possible. With this layout , cooling performance is also improved.

While remaining the pressure loss and cooling performance equal to NISMO’s previous intercooler, weight reduction of 2.6kg (vs NISMO’s previous intercooler) was made possible by adopting new core design. By replacing from previous unit, weight at the overhanging section is reduced, resulting in better cornering performance.
