Intercooler Upgrade (M177.1 )

ZAC Motorsport High-Performance Intercooler | AMG M177.1 (C63 / GLC63 / V8 Vantage)

Engineered for the M177.1 twin-turbo V8, the ZAC Motorsport High-Performance Intercooler delivers cooler charge temps, higher efficiency and improved reliability for the Mercedes-AMG C63 (W205), GLC63 (X253) and Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

Superior Cooling Efficiency

Featuring a new-generation performance core measuring 200 mm × 140 mm × 100 mm, this intercooler offers a 45 percent increase in core volume compared to stock. The result is a significant drop in intake-air temperature, ensuring stable power delivery and greater resistance to heat soak during spirited driving or track use.

Motorsport-Grade Design

Each unit uses CAD-designed 3D printed aluminium end tanks, refined through CFD simulation to achieve excellent thermal performance with minimal pressure drop. The robust bar-and-plate core construction withstands extreme boost and temperature cycles without distortion or loss of flow.

Performance Benefits

• Improved charge-air cooling for more consistent horsepower and torque output.

• Reduced pressure drop, allowing the turbochargers to spool faster and maintain higher boost levels.

• Turbocharger relief through lower outlet temps and less mechanical strain.

• Enhanced reliability under sustained load or racing conditions.

Smart Design Details

• Motorsport-style water fittings replace fragile OEM plastic clips with reliable screw-on aluminium connectors.

• Plug-and-play installation: direct replacement for factory units, no permanent modifications.

• Compatible with TurboSmart mechanical BOV systems—perfect for tuned or high-boost applications.

Upgrade your AMG or Aston Martin V8 with the ZAC Motorsport High-Performance Intercooler and experience sharper throttle response, cooler charge temps and a stronger, more durable cooling system designed for real-world performance.
