GR Corolla Intercooler Kit – CLICK TO ORDER

Chino, California (March 27, 2024) – Jackson Racing and CSF have partnered to develop a line of GR Corolla cooling components. Our first GR Corolla product from the partnership is the GR Corolla Intercooler Kit.

Cooling the intake air temperature on turbo vehicles is critical to maximizing performance, whether you’re on your favorite back road or going flat out on the racetrack. Intercooler efficiency is also important to maintain vehicle performance throughout your drive session.

With a tight front bumper area, the GR Corolla gave us a packaging challenge. After 3D scanning and developing initial prototypes in CAD, we started fine-tuning with prototypes on the car to see where we could gain valuable real estate. We realized we could take advantage of OEM ducting, giving us the ability to do a stepped core that receives frontal air. By co-developing with CSF, we could leverage their top-notch manufacturing capabilities to get a premium product with a stepped tube and fin core designed specifically for the GR Corolla.

The use of a tube and fin core is an important feature in the Jackson Racing x CSF Intercooler kit. Tube and fin cores are lightweight when compared to common bar and plate cores. The lightweight helps keep excess nose weight off the car, keeping the nimble GR Corolla handling characteristics owners love.

The next challenge was adding big HP headroom for racers. From the start, the JR x CSF intercooler was designed with 2” inlet and outlets on the core to allow for upgradeability on high HP builds. For OEM+ installations, we include race-grade transition hoses and clamps that fit with the OEM tubing.

We are excited to have this new product out to enthusiasts and bring the best to the GR Corolla platform. We look forward to seeing you at the track!

PERFORMANCE AND TEST DATA:

• 90+ºF more temperature drop vs OEM
• Lower temperature rise vs OEM
• Improved resistance to heat soak
• Increased efficiency across the RPM range

The OEM intercooler was run first to check the heat soak temperatures. You can see the OEM intercooler reaches heat soak quickly. Also, the OEM intercooler is only able to shed about 150ºF of temperature in total.

Next, we ran the Jackson Racing x CSF Intercooler. The JR x CSF intercooler sheds 240+ºF of temperature and takes significantly longer to get to heat soak.

Cooler temperatures, improved temperature resistance, and overall better performance. It’s all here with the JR x CSF intercooler!

Race Report: 2016 SCCA Majors Tour Final Round

The 2016 SCCA Majors Final Round at Portland International Raceway

Chino, California (July 05, 2016) – Jackson Racing heads to the Final Round of the Majors Tour.

The Jackson Racing team headed up to the Pacific Northwest again for the last stop of the SCCA Majors Tour held at Portland International Raceway. Held over the 4th of July weekend, it always makes for a fun trip filled with friends, laughs, and racing.

Friday qualifying came and the weather was perfect! Oscar Jackson Jr. set out on the track and threw down a smoking lap time that landed the FR-S on pole by several seconds. The Jackson Racing Supercharger continues to work perfectly in all the different track conditions.

Saturday’s weather was just as nice, and would make for a great race. The green flag dropped and the cars were off! There was a multi car collision in turn 1, which resulted in one of the cars oiling down the track. The race was stopped for cleanup and rescheduled for Sunday morning.

Sunday was set to be a busy day, since there would be 2 STU races nearly back to back. Oscar Jackson Jr. set out from pole in Race 1 and quickly put some distance between the other competitors and drove to the win! The Jackson Racing FR-S came back to the pits for fuel and fresh BFGoodrich tires and went out to the grid for Race 2. Another start from pole and again Oscar Jr. was out in front. After a few laps there was a full course caution. This time the track was cleared quickly and the race commenced. Oscar Jr. and the Jackson Racing FR-S kept the push after the restart and pulled off another flag to flag win, the 11th win on the season.

Besides winning the races, Oscar Jr. was presented with his Championship trophies for both the Super Touring Light and Super Touring Under classes. It was a great season for Jackson Racing in the SCCA Majors Tour. Now the team prepares for the the SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Mid Ohio in September, with the hopes of bringing the National Championship home!
