The VRSF FMIC was designed to be one of the best performing direct bolt on intercoolers available on the market. The VRSF intercooler features 3D CAD designed cast aluminum end tanks for improved flow over sheet metal end tanks & durability. We use a custom bar & plate intercooler core and a custom fin pack designed to our exact specification which we've developed over the past 10 years with multiple record breaking applications.

VRSF Upgraded Stepped Intercooler Kit - 2012-2015 BMW 228i/M235i/328i/335i/428i/435i N20 & N55

Replace your inefficient factory intercooler with the VRSF upgraded intercooler kit to get the most out of your N20/N55. We designed this kit to be one of the best performing, direct bolt on intercoolers available for your BMW with special attention to quality and performance while maintaining a reasonable price. Our intercoolers allow for higher HP gains, mainly due to their ability to keep intake temps down while preventing heat soak which is a common problem with the factory intercooler. This results in a more power and increased reliability with reduced chances of pre-detonation & knock.

Intercooler Core

The most important component of any intercooler is the core. The core cools the charged air from the turbo before it enters the engine and the OEM BMW tube and fin intercooler is designed to support low boost levels and air flow. Once boost levels and air flow are increased, the OEM unit is easily overwhelmed and can not keep up with the cooling demands of a tune running more than OEM boost levels. This results in heatsoak which will result in a power loss and a higher potential for pre-detonation in the upper RPM range.

We remedy this problem with our custom bar and plate core design which utilizes a staggered and offset high density internal and external fin pack. Our core has been carefully tuned to provide the the best intake temperature reduction while maintaining minimal pressure drop. Our bar & plate core is also much more durable than the OEM tube and fin core, with a better ability to withstand rocks and other debris.

Finish & Construction

Our VRSF intercooler features 3D CAD designed cast aluminum end tanks for improved flow in comparison to sheet metal end tanks. Our CNC'd, one peice seamless cast end tanks are also more durable than comparable sheet metal or multiple peice end tanks. Every VRSF intercooler is finished in a uniform, bright silver coating which helps protect the intercooler from corrosion and ensures your VRSF intercooler holds up to the elements, no matter where you live.

Every VRSF product includes our lifetime warranty & our "No Hassle" satisfaction guarantee which includes fitment & defects.

Installation

This is a complete plug and play bolt in option and we include everything required to repalce the OEM intercooler.All VRSF intercoolers feature tabs that allow the retention of the factory fan shroud. Our bolt on end tanks utilize the OEM intercooler piping.

Each VRSF intercooler is hand finished and pressure tested to ensure a high quality, leak free experience. Our intercoolers fit both Left Hand Drive (LHD) & Right Hand Drive (RHD) Models as well as all XI models.

Any info on IAT? or Fin density? Would be good to see!

Customer will be posting results in the next week or so

It seems like this is obviously very beneficial for those who are running a tune. If we are using this on a stock car that is just driven on the street, this should not really be necessary, correct?

Even on a stock car, this would still do a way better job than the stock intercooler. That being said, a tune should always be the first step in BMW modding.

2 different cars
the second one is the customer pic
the first one is VRSF's car ... the I8 is Tiago's

FBO Project complete!

The VRSF intercooler is wonderful but it is not a bolt on piece for F23. There is a brace directly in front of the intercooler that make it's a verifiable nightmare to try and shove it in and bolt it on, expect some damage to the front fins when trying to fit it.

[Tiago@VRSF]

We'll try and get a F23 in the shop ASAP! This should be easy to correct with a small bracket.

A bracket wont fix this, its integrated bracing, better to cut the depth down 1/2"

Product looks great! Shipping to Canada tho is so costly =[
