Massive R-Line Core Dimensions

Overall Dimensions

• Width: 31 inches
• Height: 12 inches
• Thickness: 4 inches

Core Dimensions

• Width: 24 inches
• Height: 12 inches
• Thickness: 4 inches

This substantial core volume provides increased thermal capacity for demanding applications.

Designed for High Horsepower Vehicles

Mishimoto specifically engineered the R-Line to provide:

• Optimal airflow
• Increased charge-air volume
• Efficient heat dissipation
• Reduced pressure drop

These factors become increasingly important as horsepower levels rise.

Supports Up to 32 PSI

Maximum Boost Rating

• 32 PSI

This makes the intercooler suitable for:

• Large single turbo setups
• Twin turbo applications
• High-performance street cars
• Dedicated race vehicles

For many enthusiasts, 32 PSI is more boost than their engine internals are willing to discuss.

3-Inch Inlet and Outlet Design

Specifications

• Inlet: 3 inches
• Outlet: 3 inches

Benefits include:

• Excellent airflow capacity
• Common piping compatibility
• Reduced restriction
• Improved turbo efficiency

The 3-inch design works well for medium to large turbocharger combinations.

Durable 5mm End Tank Construction

The end tanks are constructed using thick aluminum walls.

Tank Wall Thickness

• 5mm

Advantages include:

• Improved strength
• Better boost resistance
• Reduced flex
• Long-term durability

This is particularly important in high-pressure turbo applications.

Signature Gold Finish

The Mishimoto Gold finish provides:

• Unique appearance
• Premium engine bay aesthetics
• Show-car appeal
• Instantly recognizable styling

Let’s be honest—this intercooler isn’t trying to hide behind the bumper.

Why Intercoolers Matter

Turbochargers compress incoming air.

Compression creates heat.

Without proper cooling, you may experience:

• Reduced horsepower
• Timing pull
• Knock sensitivity
• Heat soak

A properly sized intercooler helps maintain cooler, denser intake air.

Perfect for Serious Builds

Drag Racing

Supports repeated high-boost launches.

Roll Racing

Provides consistent cooling during extended pulls.

Drift Cars

Maintains temperatures during sustained high-RPM operation.

Street Performance

Improves consistency during spirited driving.

Installation Considerations

Before ordering:

• Measure available bumper space
• Verify piping requirements
• Plan custom mounting
• Check radiator clearance

Universal intercoolers require fabrication and should not be considered direct-fit solutions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Massive 24″ x 12″ x 4″ core
• Supports high-horsepower builds
• 32 PSI boost rating
• 3-inch inlet and outlet
• Durable 5mm end tanks
