CUPRONICKEL LEE REPLACEMENT CORE

THE INTERCOOLER UTILIZIED BY THE PROS

Professional engine builders such as Sterling Performance, Chief Engines, Teague Custom Marine, Paul Pfaff Racing Engines and GT Performance all prefer the superior performance and proven durability of the Whipple Coolers.

The Whipple Lee replacement core replaces corroded aluminum Lee cores for the standard 671-1471 4" Lee intercooler housing. The Whipple core is also used on the Whipple "Double" Whipple cooler with 2 cores side by side.  While others use aluminum intercooler cores or use inferior fin and tube curponickel, Whipple is the only company that utilizes the patent technology of the bar/plate cupronickel intercooler, a Whipple exclusive. Whipple’s cupronickel, pronounced koo•pro•nik•el, is a space age technology that utilizes a unique blend of pure copper air fins for increased thermal efficiency over aluminum and cupronickel water passages for maximum corrosion resistance. Some utilize “chromacoat” or anodized cores, which will still corrode over time, only cupronickel will last in the brackish lake waters and ocean salt water. 

PERFORMANCE

The Whipple Coolers are by far the most efficient core designs on the market and all the latest technology was used during design. The cupronickel core was designed with an offset fin design at an incredible count of 24 fins per inch on the air side which is like running 48fpi. What does this mean? Almost double the surface area of some of the other cooler designs to maximize thermal reduction like no other cooler. The core features DUAL -20AN inlets and outlets uncompromising efficiency. Giving you the maximum amount of cooling. No other cooler can match this performance.

DURABILITY

The Whipple Coolers heavy-duty construction and robust material make it the most durable intercooler on the market. This unique design utilizes a rugged bar-plate design vs. the standard extruded tube. The bar-plate design can endure virtually all applications while the tig-welded construction will hold under all conditions. Aluminum cores can also melt under extreme applications but cupronickel’s melting point is almost 800 degrees higher than that of aluminum.
