Vivid Racing -- Alpha Performance Heat Exchanger
Happy Friday to all my A45 fans!!
Tristan here, with Vivid Racing! Today, I am highlighting some of my FAVORITE aftermarket upgrades from one of the best in the industry -- Alpha Performance! More specifically, the Alpha Performance Heat Exchanger!
Price: $799.95 (Free Shipping to the Lower 48)
Why upgrade to the Alpha Performance Heat Exchanger?
From the factory, you can expect your Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and GLA45 AMG to produce a high level of boost pressure (27.5psi as tested). In turn, this creates extremely high-charged air temperatures prior to entering the stock liquid cooled heat exchanger (intercooler). Although adequate under normal driving conditions, the stock heat exchanger responsible for cooling this boosted air underperforms when your A45 is driven aggressively, in warmer climates or when subjected to extended operation.
Whether you are running stock or upgraded components on your 2.0L M133 turbocharged engine, the Alpha Performance Mercedes-Benz A45 Heat Exchanger Upgrade offers much greater efficiency - providing consistently cooler boost temperatures while combating heat soak issues. Beneficial throughout everyday driving, this level of cooling is even more crucial to consistent performance on a road course or dragstrip.
An upgrade to the factory heat exchanger in both overall size and efficiency, ours offers better cooling of the intercooler system fluid. Being 38% larger than stock our heat exchanger core provides additional liquid capacity for greater heat dissipation. This allows the system to maintain lower fluid temperatures throughout extended periods of high throttle operation. To improve flow and reduce pressure drop, our engineering team went a step further by tapering the inlet and outlet for smoother flow. All of this will result in cooler intake air charges and maximum power!
With normal hand tools, the A45 AMG and GLA45 AMG Heat Exchanger Upgrade installs within 30-40 minutes. Simply remove the wheel, inner fender liner and the factory heat exchanger. The new unit swaps right in using factory hardware without any cutting or modifications to your car.
-- Features --
38% more core volume
22 fins per inch core made to Alpha spec
Motorsport quality heat exchanger core made in the UK
Core and tanks designed in CFD heat transfer software to allow for greatest heat dissipation
Billet aluminum end tanks
Installs in 30-40 min. without cutting or drilling
