CSF x Jackson Racing Intercooler Kit for the GR Corolla 2023+

GR Performance Parts is excited to announce the latest from Jackson Racing! The CSF x Jackson Racing Collaboration Intercooler Kit for the GR Corolla!

The GR Corolla is the hottest hot hatch on the market right now. Its 1.6L three-cylinder turbo motor shared with the GR Yaris is an engineering marvel and offers plenty of room for growth. Pairing that with the all-wheel-drive system, great suspension, and stiff chassis, you have one serious competitor.

The GR Corolla quickly took the tuning world by storm with aftermarket companies eager to support it. With tuning being readily available due to previous development on GR Yaris, there was a huge demand for a performance intercooler right from the get go. CSF teamed up with Jackson Racing to offer the most advanced and efficient intercooler on the market. Moto IQ recently conducted their independent testing on the intercooler and said it was “The BEST Performing Intercooler We’ve Ever Tested”.

Available in Black (8285B) for a stealthy performance look and Silver (8285) for a more OEM look or to just show a bit more through the grille.

• CSF Racing Tube and Fin Stepped Core
  • Unique CSF “stepped” core design, maximizes available frontal area
  • CAD developed for proper fitment
  • Lightweight tube and fin design to keep weight off the front end and fight heat soak (13.9lbs)
  • Factory tested for quality assurance
• Cast Aluminum Intercooler End Tanks
  • Smooth transitions to maximize airflow
  • 2” inlet and outlet for upgradeability
• All Original Design
  • Direct OEM replacement
  • Utilizes OEM ducting onto the stepped core
  • Race-grade silicone transition hoses and hose clamps
  • Developed in partnership with CSF for maximum cooling and premium fitment
  • Available in Silver and Black finishes (Pre-cut logo stencil included)

PERFORMANCE AND TEST DATA:

• 90+ºF more temperature drop vs OEM
• Lower temperature rise vs OEM
• Improved resistance to heat soak
• Increased efficiency across the RPM range

The OEM intercooler was run first to check the heat soak temperatures. You can see the OEM intercooler reaches heat soak quickly. Also, the OEM intercooler is only able to shed about 150ºF of temperature in total.

Next, the Jackson Racing x CSF Intercooler.  The JR x CSF intercooler sheds 240+ºF of temperature and takes significantly longer to get to heat soak.

CSF vs OEM – GR Corolla Intercooler

The performance of the OE Tube & Fin Intercooler is actually quite impressive. It is able to drop charge air temps by almost 150°F which is quite good for even some aftermarket performance intercoolers. The main drawback of the factory unit is how quickly it heat soaks. Post cooler charge air temps can quickly climb by 60°F. The limited surface area really hampers the overall cooling capacity here.

The CSF x Jackson Racing Intercooler features a High-Performance Tube & Fin core. This type of core was selected both for the cooling efficiency, but also for the lighter weight characteristics when compared to Bar & Plate construction. A lighter weight intercooler helps keep excess weight off the front end, keeping the agile handling characteristics of the GR Corolla. The stepped core design gives the CSF x Jackson Racing unit a 45% larger core volume and 73% more surface area than the OE cooler.

The TIG-Welded Cast Aluminum end tanks increase the overall strength of the intercooler. This improves durability and longevity so you can be confident it will hold up to hard driving conditions. The CSF x Jackson Racing Intercooler mounts in the factory location and requires no modifications to the bumper or crash bar. The OEM ducting does requiring trimming to be used. This ducting helps guide air into the upper stepped core.

Cooler temperatures, improved temperature resistance, and overall better performance. It’s all here with the JR x CSF intercooler.
