New GM Certified Reinforced Intercooler Brick for the '09-'15 CTS-V
GM Part Number 12604853
Eliminate any potential downtime or just upgrade with a brand new GM Factory Certified intercooler brick. These intercooler bricks are reinforced with a .125" thick aluminum plate that is tig welded to the back side. This keeps coolant flow moving even under high boost pressure.
GM designed the intercooler 'bricks' in the Supercharged 6.2L LSA to withstand the stock boost level of about 8 psi. With increased boost levels produced by aftermarket upper/lower pulleys, the structure of the brick is not only subjected to higher boost pressures but also higher thermal loads. These two factors will inevitably cause the coolant end-tank to cave in, which results in a reduction of water flow within the core as well as a reduction in overall intercooler efficiency. Once the end-tank caves in the structural integrity of the brick itself may also be compromised, which can lead to higher intake air temps and coolant leakage (internal or external).
In order to address the inherent weakness of the OEM design, Dedicated Motorsports offers reinforced intercooler 'bricks'.
