Design
This intercooler is constructed to deliver the best cooling efficiency during tough conditions. Exclusively manufactured in aluminium with continuous welds, it guarantees reliability and endurance when you really need it.
The increased core volume improves cooling efficiency and lower the intake air temperature. Naturally, this being a do88 performance product, they have executed thorough, severe and continuous tests when developing this product to ensure best performance. Not one compromise has been made.
This DO88 intercooler is immensely optimised to the given space for an easy drop-in-fitment.
The 123 % increased core volume is an achievement we are proud of. It offers a remarkable difference. The engine pulls better all through the revs and withstands repeated full throttle runs without building heat.
The perception of an intercooler being something to upgrade only after a major engine tune is false, yet widely spread among customers and car people. During hot Swedish summer days, at repeated pulls, inspired driving or even at ordinary driving in a hotter climate area, it doesn’t´t take much of an effort from the engine to generate dangerously high inlet temperatures – even on a standard, non-tuned, car.
Cooling capacity with an OEM-intercooler is in many cases inferior which will affect the usable power output. The heat has to be eliminated, or else the promised output will be decreased as you start giving gas. With our DO88 intercooler you can rest assured the power is there, at all times.
Results
Significant advantages with the do88 performance intercooler (compared against BMW M2 OEM intercooler):
– Greater core volume: 15208cm3 (6831 cm3), 123 % bigger!
– Air flow at 0,15bar/2,18psi pressure drop: 490 CFM (414 CFM), 18 % higher!
– Lower post intercooler air temperature at same conditions: 35°C (57°C), 22°C lower!
– Air flow at 0,15bar/2,18psi pressure drop: 490 CFM (414 CFM), 18 % higher!
– Lower post intercooler air temperature at same conditions: 35°C (57°C), 22°C lower!
This product comes with everything necessary for an easy installation, without the need for cutting or in any way changing the car´s original shape. Bolts, washers and mounting instructions is of course included.
