Willow Grove, PA –
AWE Tuning has introduced its ColdFront System for the B8 and B8.5 3.0T S4 and S5 today. The AWE Tuning ColdFront System was designed and conceptualized in-house at AWE Tuning to minimize heat soak during operation of 3.0T powertrains in B8 and B8.5 chassis Audi models.
“During track testing for the AWE Tuning Stage 2 Performance Pulley, we noticed that power was being robbed by high intake air temperatures as well as high coolant temperatures.” Vice President of Marketing Jesse Kramer noted. “This was a problem that needed to be addressed.”
“Modified vehicles, notably those flashed and/or equipped with a modified supercharger pulley like the AWE Tuning Stage 2 Performance Pulley, are particularly susceptible to higher intake air temperatures. Enter the AWE Tuning ColdFront Heat Exchanger: Proven to maintain consistent intake air temperatures and power, even under the most demanding of conditions.”
AWE Tuning ColdFront System Highlights:
- Larger Heat Exchanger surface area for superior cooling
- Only Heat Exchanger on the market with a drain plug and bleed screw to ensure no air is trapped while adding coolant
- Larger Coolant Reservoir capacity
- Direct replacement for OEM Heat Exchanger
- ColdFront System lowers coolant temperatures by a maximum of 24F
- ColdFront System lowers Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) by 15F
- Nearly eliminates power loss from heat soak
- Available as the complete ColdFront System, or ColdFront Heat Exchanger and ColdFront Reservoir individually
- Protective ColdFront Protection Screen sold separately
More information, performance specifications and pricing can be found on AWE Tuning’s website in the AWE Tuning ColdFront System section, or by calling AWE Tuning directly, at 888.565.2257.
