One of the vehicle devices that are used on turbocharged and supercharged vehicle with internal combustion engines is the intercooler. Its function is to improve the vehicles’ volumetric efficiency, increase the amount of charge in the vehicles’ engine, and then lower charge air temperature, thus increasing the vehicles engine optimum power and reliability. A vehicle’s intercooler is basically a radiator that is tuned for a high volume flows rates and an increasing density of the charge as it cools. And the widely used vehicle intercooler by many vehicle owners is the Banks intercooler.

This brand of intercooler is made from high quality a material that is why many vehicle owners choose this intercooler for it is made from high grade quality materials, thus providing an optimum performance and efficiency. The Banks intercooler is basically made and designed to replace a factory or original equipment. It features a techni-cooler intercooler system and cooler. Also, it has a denser air that greatly adds more continuous usable power to a vehicle at about 130 to 140 Lb more torque compared to a tuner alone and a 25% larger than those stock intercooler core.

Made from all aluminum high efficiency, the Banks intercooler has a strong construction with a high flow tank design and a large 3” streamlined mandrel bent boost tubing. Plus, it has a restrictive flow design and it includes all the mounting hardware and instructions needed for an easy installation. Banks intercooler tubing is not just only large in diameter, for it also has a smooth shape having no pinches or restrictions unlike the stock components. Although this intercooler looks similar with the factory unit and is a direct replacement, it is indeed a far more efficient unit. This is because the Banks intercooler is much thicker, having more surface area for an improved heat transfer.
