AIRTEC Motorsport 100mm Top Feed Intercooler Upgrade for 3-door and Sapphire Cosworth

Technical Data

As part of our expanding Cosworth product range, AIRTEC Motorsport is proud to launch our intercooler upgrade suitable for track or fast road use.

This 100mm core, top fed intercooler is suitable for the 3-door Sierra as well as the 2wd and 4wd Sapphire Cosworth models (will NOT fit Escort Cosworth).

In order to ensure there is no noticeable loss in performance during extended periods of hard driving, we have developed a larger, freer-flowing intercooler that is a direct replacement for the smaller and more restrictive OEM item.

Our solution to increasing the intercooler’s size and performance within the confines of the limited space behind the bumper is based upon a high flow, single pass core with a huge 100mm depth. This offers a massive increase in overall capacity in comparison to the original intercooler, as well as a significant increase in frontal area over standard, which allows it to make the most of the air flow provided. An air ram scoop also works to ensure air is forced into the core (will not fit with Sapphire – please choose from options).

The top feed design encourages air flow and reduces restriction in comparison to the common RS500-style intercoolers, which makes them more suited to higher levels of tune or heavy track use. The huge 100mm core coupled with our high-flow end tanks ensure air is directed correctly and efficiently.

The kit fits neatly behind the original bumper and can be reverted back to standard with no issues. It comes with the choice of original 60mm or larger 76mm inlet and outlet pipes, and optional fitting kit, which includes uprated polyurethane mounting bushes to replace the soft rubber bushes usually used to reduce movement and flex. There’s also the option to add lowering spacers to space the intercooler down to help line up the hose if you’re using our intake plenum. 

We also offer the option for a 25mm dump valve take off to be welded into the pipe – please chose from the options. 

The intercooler is available in Pro-Series Black (with or without the AIRTEC logo).

Power Rating:
There are a lot of variables to how much power each intercooler can be rated at, but as a general rule we advise the 100mm top feed intercooler is good for builds up to approx. 650bhp.
