Nissens 961598 Turbocharger Intercooler - Air-to-Air Charge Air Cooler

The Nissens 961598 is a direct-fit, air-cooled turbocharger intercooler (charge air cooler) engineered to OE specifications for precise fit and performance. Designed as a reliable replacement for the original intercooler, it restores proper charge air cooling to turbocharged engines and helps maintain optimal engine efficiency and power output.

Key Features:

• Air-cooled design with a brazed aluminum core for efficient heat exchange
• Turbulator tubes integrated into the core to improve airflow and maximize the heat exchange surface area
• Compact louvered fin construction for optimal cooling performance
• Optimized core end plates designed to minimize mechanical stress and reduce the risk of failure
• Reinforced plastic tanks with inner cross-bars, enriched with 30–35% fiberglass — no recycled plastics used
• Strengthened inlets and outlets to resist stress from high temperatures and mechanical tension
• Specially designed side panels to reduce the effects of thermal expansion on the core
• Mounting points and connections engineered for a complete, vehicle-specific fit for straightforward installation
• Net dimensions: 260 mm (L) × 195 mm (W) × 80 mm (D)

Why Replace Your Intercooler?

A failing intercooler can cause a noticeable drop in engine power, increased fuel consumption, and abnormal exhaust smoke. It is also critical to replace the intercooler any time a turbocharger has failed, as carbonized oil and metal debris from a damaged turbo can clog the intercooler channels and cause a newly installed turbo to fail prematurely.

Manufactured and tested to OE standards, the Nissens 961598 is subjected to corrosion, vibration, pressure impulse, thermal expansion, and thermal performance testing to ensure long-lasting, reliable service.
