COBB Tuning Front Mount Intercooler - E82 135i/1M, E9X 335i N54 N55 - (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)
The Cobb Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) uses an innovative stepped design to maximize the available space in the nose without major modifications for installation. With 60% more surface area than the stock intercooler, the Cobb FMIC delivers much lower intake air temps for more consistent and useable horsepower. And special software is already available direct from Cobb to work with their FMIC via the Cobb Accessport programmer.
Heatsoak is one of the obstacles for making big power from turbobocharged engines. The stock intercooler design is commendable for single runs at the stock boost levels. But adding any more boost and the system is quickly overwhelmed. As the ECU corrects for heat soak you will be losing power, which makes your upgrades worthless. To help maintain boost levels even in the face of elevated turbocharger temperatures, a more efficient intercooler is required.
The Cobb design incorporates a thicker cooler with a super-sized 5.75" thick core. Total core dimensions are 21"x7.5"x5.75". Then they added another cooler on top for additional surface area. This stepped design uses all of the limited nose area of the E82, E90, and E92 body styles. Cast aluminum end tanks are specially formed to optimize flow (another obstacle for efficiency). Only minor modifications are required for installation and new silicone hoses and clamps are included. Unlike other kits, this intercooler is a direct replacement for N54 and N55 cars.
