VRSF Race Intercooler FMIC Upgrade Kit - N20

Product Details

Get the most out of your engine by replacing the factory intercooler with this Race intercooler kit from VRSF. This race intercooler will allow for more horsepower gains by reducing intake temperatures and preventing heat soak. Prior to testing this intercooler, VRSF found that a 2nd-4th gear pull would result in a 55-60 degree rise in temperature on an OEM setup. However, with the VRSF Race intercooler, there was actually a reduction in temperature in the same pull.

Intercooler Core

The 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. VRSF remedies this problem with a custom bar and plate core design which utilizes a staggered and offset high density internal and external fin pack. The core has been carefully tuned to provide the the best intake temperature reduction while maintaining minimal pressure drop. The bar & plate core is also much more durable than the OEM tube and fin core, with a better ability to withstand rocks and other debris.

Finish & Construction

The VRSF intercooler features 3D CAD designed cast aluminum end tanks for improved flow in comparison to sheet metal end tanks. 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.

Every VRSF product includes our lifetime warranty & our “No Hassle” satisfaction guarantee which includes fitment & defects.

Installation

This is a complete plug and play bolt in option and everything required to replace the OEM intercooler is included. All VRSF intercoolers feature tabs that allow the retention of the factory fan shroud. The bolt on end tanks utilize the OEM intercooler piping. Each VRSF intercooler is hand finished and pressure tested to ensure a high quality, leak free experience.
