Intercooler Bar and Plate - 2008-2010 Ford 6.4L Powerstroke F250 F350 F450 F550 | SPELAB

Description

The SPELAB 6.4L Powerstroke Intercooler is built with robust cast aluminum end tanks and a sturdy bar-and-plate core, specifically engineered to reduce intake temperatures, enhance airflow, and minimize pressure drop. By decreasing pressure drop, this intercooler will prolong the life of your turbocharger and boost the efficiency of your Powerstroke. The SPELAB 6.4L Powerstroke Intercooler features an increased core volume compared to the factory intercooler, leading to better performance and lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). We designed this intercooler to offer significant benefits for a stock truck while also supporting the power and boost levels of a heavily modified truck.

Fitment

• 2008–2010 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 6.4L Powerstroke

• Cast Aluminum End Tanks
  Designed for maximum durability and optimized internal airflow.

• Mandrel-Bent Cold-Side Intercooler Pipe
  Increases flow and reduces intake turbulence.

• Reduced Pressure Drop
  Boosts turbo efficiency, reduces turbo strain, and enhances throttle response.

• Lower Intake Air Temperatures (IATs)
  Improves combustion and performance while reducing EGTs.

• DuraCore™ Reinforcement Technology
  Provides outstanding resistance to heat, fuel, oil, and pressure.
