Factory Lotus Chargecooler – Reconditioned OEM Unit for 4-Cylinder Turbo Esprit (1989+)

This is an original factory Lotus chargecooler, professionally reconditioned and ready for installation. Introduced in 1989 on the Esprit SE, this water-to-air intercooler system became standard equipment on all subsequent 4-cylinder turbocharged Esprits, including the S4, S4s, and GT3 models. Designed by Lotus to reduce intake air temperatures under boost, the chargecooler significantly improves power, engine efficiency, and reliability—especially during spirited or extended high-load driving.

This reconditioned unit is ideal not only for maintaining originality on later models but also as a high-value retrofit for earlier Turbo Esprits (1980–1988) that came without factory intercooling. When properly installed with supporting hardware (radiator, pump, and plumbing), it delivers a substantial performance improvement by lowering intake charge temperatures and reducing the risk of detonation.
