I love how the car feels with this. I cannot compare to other aftermarket options because I replace an OEM intercooler. Oh wait it was $300 so that compares to aftermarket products. As far as PSI drop and flow I have nothing

But I did make a DIY for others once we get more solid info on this mod.

It looks like the upper 40% of that intercooler won't be getting any airflow due to the front fascia covering it up.

My initial impressions exactly. If you look further you will notice there is a large gap between the top of the fascia inlet and the intercooler. The high pressure infront of the 1er's flat face should easily push air over the intercooler even the top portion behind the bumper. AA and HPF have a similar height.. Oh and here are the logs. Ambient at 46F Cruising at 80mph gives steady 53-54F Next two pics are 4th and 5th gear WOT respectively.

DCI, Catless DP, Stett charge pipe, Synapse BOV, Coolingmist, Z1 Star spec tires, CDV. Plenty more I'm probably forgetting. I was running Map 7. All logs were done without meth so this is all intercooler. The power is phenominal Problem is at the end of these logs the clutch started slipping. Modding is an addiction because it only leads to more modding. Looks like a clutch masters FX400 is in the works for my next paycheck.

Got it two days ago...corrected my details.

Isn't that a little overkill for these cars. Its not like your running a GT40 at 30pounds.

bryce · 02-14-2011, 03:37 PM

best intercooler solution IMHO for the 135i, if you're not timid. i switched out my HPF for a "big tom" intercooler and i couldn't be happier with that decision

ivanuh tinkle · 02-15-2011, 03:25 PM

wow, that looks big. hahaha, that what she said.

Rawhide · 02-15-2011, 04:33 PM

Google isn't helping me find a site that sells them.

Did you say it was only $300? That's like a third the price of most others out there...

bryce · 02-16-2011, 07:24 AM

www.ebay.com

search for: rx-7 v-mount intercooler

Rawhide · 02-16-2011, 12:25 PM

Thanks for pointing that out for me.

After checking into it I think I'm still going with the HPF though.
