HF-Series intercooler set Cupra Formentor VZ5 2.5 TSI 390PS 4Drive

This upgrade intercooler for the Cupra Formentor VZ 5 is a highlight of the HF-Series range.

The high quality Bar'n'Plate core has the best cooling properties to provide optimum performance even in poor conditions and is also very robust.
It is characterised by high resistance and does not heat itself up as much as comparable core from other manufacturers.

In our tests, we achieved an intake air temperature of only 23 degrees with an outside air temperature of 17.5 degrees.
Even with our big Stage 2 on 457 HP in the Golf Mk8 Clubsport/R, for example, we are at max 9.5 degrees above outside air temperature under full load.

It is characterized by a high resistance and heats itself not so much as comparable networks of other manufacturers.
At the same time the whole system is also aligned to the best flow. This means that the pressure loss is minimal and the entire air flow was aerodynamically designed with CAD-flow analyzes. Also included are the cooler boxes, which are made of high-strength aluminum casting and equipped with our WAY FIN TECHNOLOGY.

This is an extra guide fin inside, which guarantees an even and optimal filling of the entire mesh.
The inlet and outlet diameters of the cooler have also been enlarged to 70mm and, in combination with the reinforced silicone hoses from SF-Hoses included in the scope of delivery, provide the perfect preparation for a performance increase.

This intercooler has actually no parts certificate according to §19.3

What will the advantages be, if you are installing an upgrade intercooler?
To name an accurate performance increasement, which results by installing an upgrade intercooler in numbers, many unknown factors, like: further hardware changes, as well as the engine software you are using, have to be determined, because this is different from vehicle to vehicle. As a rule of thumb for ECU remapped engines, you can expect up to 5% - 10%. But what at least also as important is: Regardless whether your ECU is already remapped or if it isn´t, upgrade intercoolers preventing a loss of performance at worse conditions, like high outside temperatures or even to reach the temperature protection of your engine. So you will be always able to count on the full power of it.

Recommendation
Use our HF-Series intercooler to complement your hardware and software setup. By reducing the back-pressure (relieving the turbocharger) and improved cooling of the charged air (increasing the oxygen ratio in the combustion chamber + thermal relief), an increased performance results, which lets you use the potential of any turbo-charged engine efficiently.

If you´re thinking about hardware and software tuning on your vehicle, you shouldn´t ignore the fact „Charge air pressure loss“.

So, if you´re increasing the perfomance of your car by chiptuning, the charge air pressure will increase in 99% oft he cases. The use of the standard charge air cooler increases the load pressure loss exponentially. This means that the turbocharger has to work even more and the thermal load on the turbocharger increases, the running time drops or is weakened by the high speeds of the turbocharger.

With our HF-Series intercoolers, we create the perfect balance between cooling effect and charge air pressure loss.
