Technical Data

Developed at AIRTEC's UK headquarters, we are proud to launch our enhanced front intercooler kit for EA888 Gen 4 platform owners seeking the highest level of cooling efficiency, power and performance for track or fast road use.

Strong
Given the resounding success of our intercooler kit for the EA888 Gen 3 platform, which has established itself as the benchmark for many high-performance engine builds over the past seven years, we knew exactly which path to take to develop our kit for the EA888 Gen 4 platform. With size constraints very similar to those of its predecessor, we retained the 16,4-liter core of the EA888 Gen 3 platform and integrated it in a way that optimizes space with the air conditioning radiator.

This resulted in an impressive 80% increase in total capacity compared to the original heat exchanger, as well as an increased frontal area to optimize airflow. Combined with our molded end tanks that ensure optimal airflow at the exchanger's inlet and outlet, the one-piece molded components guarantee properly and efficiently directed airflow.

Available with a high-quality black powder-coated finish, this complete kit is a direct replacement for the original part and includes new Pro Hoses silicone boost hoses. It also comes with all necessary fittings and fixings, as well as detailed installation instructions.

Its increased cooling efficiency, which has been proven effective, makes it an essential modification for all modified EA888 Gen 4 platform models.
