BMW Intercoolers

O-RING

End Tanks: The unique BladeRunner end tanks are constructed out of 3/16″ thick aluminum 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 a 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. Mandrel-bent Tubing: Constructed of 2-1/2″ to 3″ mandrel-bent aluminum 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 tubes from engine heat and protects them from corrosion. aFe Badging: Unique aluminum laser-cut aFe Power logo plate is welded-on for an aggressive style. Perfect Fit: Includes stainless steel clamps for a leak-free seal and heavy-duty 5-Ply reinforced silicone coupling for strength.

Product Features:

• Outflows Factory Intercooler by 21%
• Lowers Intake Air Temperature
• Incorporates Factory Style Quick Conn. For Intercooler Tubes
• 100% TIG-Welded For Strength And Durability

Bladerunner Intercoolers represent the next generation of intercoolers. The Bladerunner intercoolers utilize a 3 in. bar and plate design that out performs OE style tube and fin core designs. The end tanks are constructed out of 3/16 in. TIG welded aluminum plate tanks that incorporate three multi-directional vanes that efficiently direct air flow through the entire core for maximum cooling. The Bladerunner intercooler also comes with 4 1/8 in. pre-tapped ports for easy gauge installation as well as other auxiliary input options. Tested at 200psi which is perfect for the high boost applications. In recent testing the Bladerunner intercooler produced a 200 deg. temperature drop and a 100 deg. EGT drop as well as increasing air flow by 30 percent. Don’t waste your time and money on modified factory intercooler. Invest in the aFe Bladerunner intercooler. the most sophisticated intercooler design on the planet.

Intercooler Pipe

There are two forms of charge air cooling: direct cooling with the ambient air, or indirect cooling via the coolant to the ambient air. Indirect charge air cooling offers benefits in terms of package size and dynamic response and will play an increasingly important role in the future. This involves placing the charge air cooler very close to the engine rather than in the front end of the vehicle. The additional low-temperature radiator needed for indirect charge air cooling is an integral part of the cooling module. Due to the smaller installation depth of the low-temperature radiator compared to a conventional charge air cooler, more space is available in the front end, which can then be used for various measures such as pedestrian protection. The location close to the engine permits the use of shorter charge air lines, cutting the pressure loss by around 50%. The higher density of the cooled charge air and lower pressure loss means there is more air available to the engine for combustion. The result: improved engine responsiveness.

Product Features:

• Manufactured with the highest quality components to ensure product quality and durability
• Built with high density multi-louvered fins for maximum cooling efficiency
• All units are leak tested to ensure a damage-free unit at installation
