Also do you have any idea if you can buy the hardware separately? Mine didn’t come w the two screws on the side ..

how’d you do this without removing the bumper cover? i can’t get it to fit

Looking to get a intercooler but don’t know what brand to get your saying csf might get vrsf or arm or csf

Very nice explanation Jake! I will go for downpipes and the 5" intercooler. I'm not sure whether to go for the MHD way or the JB4, after that. My goal is 420 crank HP like the EU e92 m3 has... Dutch regards, Nico.

@TheGamingDistrict1

2 жыл бұрын

Honestly, I’d just go with MHD if I were you. JB4 is good for new cars which are still DME locked and need a piggyback tune. Since MHD tunes the actual DME instead of hijacking signals, you’ll feel it’s more solid. I had JB4 on my 335i and replaced it for MHD super license. My car feels more consistent and stable, the boost is smoother and the extra options really let me tweak with the car to my liking (burbles, cold start noise reduction, etc). Also, MHD JUST released an update that lets you toggle the throttle response to be more alike the 1M or more like stock, so you can basically tweak the throttle response lag to your style of driving.

What about track vs drag applications? Given the same turbo (e.g. stage 2) a larger intercooler is a heat reservoir for cold and high temps. My point being, drag applications have undergo short bursts of stress vs track with many more year heat cycles.

@jake_spence

2 жыл бұрын

It really depends. In my experience, you'll want something with a good amount of surface area for both applications. The problem with drag racing is that the car can heat soak in the staging lanes without any air flowing through, so water or meth would help more than the intercooler itself. Once you get moving, it should cool down pretty quick, but the run might be half over by that time. For track applications I'd want something that is large enough to keep temps down the whole time, without weighing a ton. What are your thoughts?

@jake_spence

If you're for sure going single turbo in the future, you can get the 7.5" race intercooler to make it convenient. For now, you might get a little slower throttle response or boost lag with the extra capacity, but it probably won't be very noticeable. Still will keep things cooler than a stock intercooler for sure.

Doesn't require a tune. Really depends on your setup and the outside temp. This intercooler will help your car perform efficiently. Instead of temps rising from ambient to +40-50*, it might only rise +5... keeping way more horsepower on tap. Hope that makes sense. The more mods you have, the more power you keep.
