Ferrari 488 F8 Radiator Intercooler Right 748559

the part number 748559 refers to the Right-Hand (RH) Intercooler Radiator for the Ferrari 488 (GTB/Spider/Pista) and Ferrari F8 (Tributo/Spider).

This part is the modern, superseded version of the earlier part number 328422. It is an air-to-liquid heat exchanger essential for cooling the compressed intake air before it enters the engine, ensuring maximum power and engine safety.

3. Key Improvements in 748559

While the earlier 328422 is physically identical in size, the updated 748559 includes:

• Improved Fin Density: Slightly better thermal dissipation, which was a requirement for the higher output of the F8 Tributo and 488 Pista (710 hp vs. the standard 488’s 661 hp).

• Reinforced End-Tanks: Enhanced weld points to handle the higher vibration and heat cycles associated with track use.

4. Installation & Service Notes

• The “Sandblasting” Effect: Because these are located behind the side intakes, they are prone to stone damage. If you are replacing a leaking radiator, it is highly recommended to install Protective Mesh Grills at the same time to prevent a repeat failure.

• Secondary Cooling Loop: The intercoolers on these cars run on a dedicated water circuit separate from the main engine coolant. You must use a Vacuum Filling Tool to bleed the system; traditional gravity bleeding will leave air pockets, resulting in a significant loss of horsepower and potential “Turbo Over-temp” codes.

• O-Ring Replacement: Always replace the quick-connect hose O-rings (Part #284102) when installing the new radiator. Reusing old O-rings almost always leads to a slow leak within 500 miles.
