Afco Lightning Heat Exchanger

AFCO Heat Exchangers Reduce Supercharger Coolant Temperatures By More Than 40 Degrees.

AFCO Heat Exchangers are now available for serious street performance enthusiasts with Supercharger applications.  AFCO's design incorporates the latest engineering and technology for enhanced coolant flow and improved thermal stabilization.  AFCO Heat Exchangers are available as Standard (high performance street) or Pro Series (drag race and extreme street).

F-150 LIGHTNING / HARLEY - The 80245N offers huge gains over the factory model by offering more surface area, volume, and superior core construction.  It is a single pass system and can be installed in less than 30 minutes.

• EASY BOLT-IN INSTALLATION - True Bolt-In Installation No Cutting, No Drilling, No Welding, No Headaches AFCO Heat Exchanger installation only requires simple hand tools and approximately 30 minutes.  All needed hardware (except replacement fluid) is included along with detailed instructions.  AFCO Heat Exchangers mount in factory locations with no drilling, cutting, or fabrication of any kind - A True Bolt-In.
• REGAINS LOST POWER - By more effectively cooling intake temperatures, AFCO Heat Exchangers keep the air entering the combustion chamber cooler and more dense, even in high-demand situations.
• ALLOWS FOR MORE CONSISTENCY - After hard acceleration, especially in drag racing applications, AFCO Heat Exchangers allow the supercharger to cool faster and remain at a constant temperature, which means power delivery is more consistent.
• OPTIMIZED DESIGN - Using years of experience, advanced design, and thorough testing, AFCO Heat Exchangers are designed to promote optimal air flow and cooling by utilizing appropriate fin count, tube size, core thickness, and fin serration for each particular application.
• QUALITY CONSTRUCTION - Of course, as an AFCO product, quality is second to none.  AFCO Heat Exchangers are aluminum TIG-welded and feature furnance brazed cores with no epoxy.  Each unit is pressure tested before it is shipped.

Cooler intake temperatures mean more power.  It is just that simple.  However, providing your engine with cool air to breathe becomes even more difficult when forced induction is involved.

Ford's potent supercharged V8 is no exception.  This is why Ford designed a separate intercooling system for the supercharger on their popular F-150 Lightning and Cobra Mustang.

The Ford system utilizes a heat exchanger mounted low in the front grill which is very similar to a small radiator.  Coolant flows separate from the main engine cooling system and circulates internally through the intercooler beneath the supercharger.

While the factory supercharger cooling system is adequate in stock configuration, it struggles to keep up with the multitude of popular modifications that not only deliver more power, but also increase the stress and strain on the engine.

To combat the power loss by excessive heat build up in the supercharger and intake system, AFCO focused on upgrading the weakest component in this cooling system, The Heat Exchanger.
