This BladeRunner Intercooler represents the next generation of intercoolers. Designed specifically for the 2012-2018 BMW 328i (F3X) 12-16 L4-2.0L (t) with the N20 engine, this BladeRunner intercooler utilizes a 5" bar and plate core design. This design outflows the factory tube and fin core design, while the 3/16" TIG-Welded end tanks offer superior strength and durability. In testing, this intercooler showed flow gains up to 21% and lowered the intake air temperatures.
End Tanks:
The unique BladeRunner end tanks are constructed out of 3/16" thick aluminium plates and include two 1/8" NPT ports for sensors or water-methanol injection.
5" Bar and Plate Core Design:
The use of the bar and plate core design allows for greater airflow and increased heat dissipation over the much smaller tube and fin design used by the factory.
TIG-Welded:
100% TIG-Welded inside and out by certified craftsmen for strength and durability. TIG-Welding provides the strongest welds while reducing stress cracks.
Pressure Tested:
The BladeRunner Intercooler is test pressure rated at 200psi.
Cold Side Tube:
Constructed of 2-1/2" to 2-3/4" mandrel-bent aluminium tubing and powder-coated wrinkle-black for heat and corrosion resistance. The smooth transition mandrel bends decrease turbulence which increases horsepower and torque. The high-temp wrinkle-black powder-coating insulates the tube from engine heat and protects the tube from corrosion. Includes stainless steel clamps for a leak-free seal and heavy-duty 5-Ply reinforced silicone coupling for strength.
Perfect Fit:
Utilizes the factory mounting locations for a hassle-free installation. The intercooler and tubes utilize billet factory-style quick connections to assure a leak-free connection.
