Dinan High Performance Dual Core Intercooler for BMW 2 / 3 / 4-Series 2012-2016

The Dinan Dual Core Intercooler is engineered for high-performance applications, providing substantial power gains while ensuring reliable operation under various driving conditions. Its innovative design offers significant improvements in cooling efficiency and thermal management, making it a vital upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to maximize their vehicle's potential.

Key Features

• Increased Cooling Efficiency:

  • The intercooler boasts a 240% increase in face area compared to the stock setup, allowing for significantly enhanced heat exchange and reduced charge air temperatures, which helps prevent heat soak.

• Improved Pressure Drop:

  • With a charge air pressure drop of only 0.8 psi, the intercooler provides a 25% improvement over stock, contributing to more efficient engine performance.

• Optimal Thermal Management:

  • The system features a 155º F charge air temperature drop, reflecting an 11% improvement over stock, ensuring that the engine can maintain higher performance levels without overheating.

• Enhanced Delta Efficiency:

  • A notable improvement in the charge air temperature to ambient temperature delta of 18º F at 6250 RPM results in a 60% improvement compared to the factory intercooler, leading to more consistent power output.

• Dual-Core Design:

  • Dinan's unique dual-core design allows both cores to operate simultaneously, maximizing cooling capacity and efficiency, which helps reduce "cool down" time and maintain full power during demanding driving conditions.

• Power Gains:

  • On vehicles equipped with the N55 engine, users can expect maximum gains of 15 HP and 13 lb-ft of torque at 6250 RPM. For the N20/N26 engines, gains of 6 HP and 5 lb-ft of torque can be realized at 5500 RPM.

• Compatibility with Tuning:

  • To achieve the best performance, pairing the intercooler with engine tuning (like Dinan's flash software) is recommended. This combination extends the power band, resulting in a more robust output from 5000 RPM to redline, compared to stock gains primarily seen at 6000 RPM and above.

• Easy Installation:

  • The intercooler is designed as a direct replacement for the stock unit, requiring only minor modifications for a clean, factory-like fit.

• Emissions Compliance:

  • The system is 50 State Emissions Legal, with a CARB EO number of D-176-51, ensuring that performance upgrades do not compromise regulatory compliance.
