We designed this kit to be one of the best performing, direct bolt on intercoolers available for your BMW with special attention to quality and performance while maintaining a reasonable price. Our intercoolers allow for higher HP gains, mainly due to their ability to keep intake temps down while preventing heat soak which is a common problem with the factory intercooler. This results in a more power and increased reliability with reduced chances of pre-detonation \u0026amp; knock.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntercooler Core\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe most important component of any intercooler is the core. The core cools the charged air from the turbo before it enters the engine and the OEM BMW tube and fin intercooler is designed to support low boost levels and air flow. Once boost levels and air flow are increased, the OEM unit is easily overwhelmed and can not keep up with the cooling demands of a tune running more than OEM boost levels. This results in heat soak which will result in a power loss and a higher potential for pre-detonation in the upper RPM range. The OEM intercooler will rise in temperatures up to 55-60 degrees during a 2-4 gear pull which is both harmful for your engine and robs you of power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe remedy this problem with our custom bar and plate core design which utilizes a staggered and offset high density internal and external fin pack. Our core has been carefully tuned to provide the the best intake temperature reduction while maintaining minimal pressure drop. Our bar \u0026amp; plate core is also much more durable than the OEM tube and fin core, with a better ability to withstand rocks and other debris. As seen in the logs below, the VRSF Race core offers a significant improvement over the OEM by keeping temperatures closer to ambient. In the example below we show a F30 335i on a 75 degree day. Our intercooler maintains a safe temperature through the 2nd through 4th gear pull, starting at 89 degrees and ending at 86 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur VRSF intercooler features 3D CAD designed cast aluminum end tanks for improved flow in comparison to sheet metal end tanks. Our CNC’d, one piece seamless cast end tanks are also more durable than comparable sheet metal or multiple piece end tanks. Every VRSF intercooler is finished in a uniform, bright silver coating which helps protect the intercooler from corrosion and ensures your VRSF intercooler holds up to the elements, no matter where you live.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvery VRSF product includes our lifetime warranty \u0026amp; our “No Hassle” satisfaction guarantee which includes fitment \u0026amp; defects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a complete plug and play bolt in option and we include everything required to replace the OEM intercooler.
