This patent describes an intercooler for an internal combustion engine having an intake manifold and a turbocharger which delivers pressurized air. This intercooler consists of a heat exchanger core having: (a) elongated, substantially straight pipes for conducting a coolant; (b) means for passing a coolant through the pipes of the core, and (c) heat conducting fins on the pipes extending transverse to the pipes closely spaced apart along the pipes to define passages for air across the pipes.
