Smile ER Charge Pipe N55 (3.0T) F30/F32/F33/F20/F21

Introducing the new ER Charge Pipe for the 2012+ BMW 335i N55 Single Turbo Engine, 2013+ BMW 435i N55 Single Turbo Engine and 2012+ BMW M135i/M235i N55 Single Turbo Engine!



Polish Finish - Upper and Lower Charge Pipe Shown
Ease of Installation: (1 Easy, 5 Hard) 2

Key Features:

Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag.
Lightweight High Grade 6061 Aluminum Piping.
Replaces the factory soft plastic charge pipe that is prone to breaking under high boost.
Throttle body matched 3" piping.
Retains factory style o-ring throttle body lock flange. Precision CNC machined throttle body flange ensures leak free connection to throttle body. Quick and easy connection and disconnection to throttle body. Ideal connection compared to the silicone hose and hose clamp connection found in all other aftermarket charge pipe upgrades available in the marketplace.
Precision CNC machined MAP sensor flange ensures leak free connection.
Charge Pipe features beaded ends and T-bolt clamps to prevent intercooler piping from coming off from boost.
Silicone Hump Hose included.
Optional Type III Hard Black Anodizing (for stealth and OEM look). Hard anodizing helps improve durability of intercooler piping. Resists bent or dented piping.
Compatible with the factory electronic diverter valve.
Includes all hardware for complete installation.
Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Turn up the boost with a tune and find your $400 factory charge pipe break apart? Fear not! The solution is here! Replace it with a higher flowing, stronger aluminum charge pipe! Made 100% of 6061 high grade aluminum, this will never happen again (backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty)!

Often ignored, charged intake airflow characteristics greatly affect throttle response, turbo lag and ultimately maximum power potential. Smooth bends and minimal obstructions are ideal. ER used 6061 aluminum (lightweight) mandrel bent piping to ensure smooth transitions. The upper pipe features 3" piping to match up to the factory throttle body (factory pipe is 2.5"), ensuring maximum flow without obstruction.

ER were the first manufacturer to duplicate the factory throttle body flange with ER N54 charge pipe. ER bring the same thing to the N55 charge pipe. During ER's research and development, the connection at the throttle body was looked over very carefully. The factory charge pipe is connected to the throttle body using an o-ring inside the throttle body flange which is locked in place by a c-clip, which works very well. It also make removal/installation quick and easy. ER testing had shown it could hold quite a bit of boost. During our testing, ER had pressure tested this connection up to 25 PSI. The reason why we stopped at 25 PSI was because at 25 PSI, one of the intake pipes on the turbo blew off and ER could not test any higher. Hoewver, ER was confident that it would easily hold over 25 PSI as the throttle body flange showed no signs of failing. Also, keep in mind, this type of connection is used throughout the engine, in many crutial areas like the coolant radiator system as well as the clutch system. If BMW did not believe in the durability of this type of connection, they would not use it in such important areas.




Precision CNC machined throttle body flange ensures boost leak free connection
Many of ER competitors use a silicone hose connection for the throttle body connection. It is not designed for a silicone hose connection which is used by all the other brand diverter valve pipe upgrades in the market. The throttle body lip is too short and there are no "beads" to prevent the silicone hose from blowing off under boost. Even though it is the easiest way to "rig" together, it is not ideal. The best way to connect the new diverter valve pipe to the throttle body is to replicate the same connection which we did. ER spent a lot of resources developing and manufacturing this factory style connection for this reason.




Precision CNC Machined MAP Sensor Flange and Vacuum Fitting ensures boost leak free connection
The same issue came with the MAP sensor. The MAP sensor seals to the factory diverter valve pipe via a o-ring on the sensor itself. Having a hole in a silicone hose will definitely cause a boost leak as it will not properly seal. Therefore, again ER CNC machined our own replica MAP sensor flange that utilizes the same factory o-ring seal.

The charge pipe kit for the F30 N55 engine features two charge pipes, the upper and lower charge pipes. Both charge pipes are included in the kit and are required for installation.

1/8" NPT Bungs (For Methanol or Nitrous Injectors):

With the popularity of methanol injection systems and nitrous systems, ER have added the option of having a 1/8" NPT threaded bung (for methanol or nos injectors) welded to our diverter valve charge pipe. This allows quick and easy installation of methanol/nitrous injectors that are used in methanol injection systems and nitrous systems. ER's charges pipes come with 2 meth bungs standard (you can custom order only 1 or none). Each 1/8" NPT bung will come with a plug so that you can run with or without the methanol injector. This is perfect for those who do not have the Methanol Injection yet but plan to do so in the future.

Also, the 1/8" NPT bung can be used as a boost source if you do not run methanol injection. Perfect place to connect your boost gauge or other devices to. The N55 engine does not have a pressurize hose or fitting from the factory that you can easily tap into. Now you do!

Note - For customers who have the Aquamist Methanol Injection Kit, Aquamist injectors use a 8mmx0.75 thread pitch instead of the 1/8" NPT standard that every other brand uses. If you have an Aquamist Methanol Kit, no worries! ER have bungs made specifically for the Aquamist. Specify below if you need Aquamist bungs. Since this affects a very low amount of people, they will be custom made for you and not be regularly stocked. Also, ER do not have plugs for these bungs. You will have to already have the Aquamist kit.



1/8" NPT Bungs (for methanol or nitrious injectors). Each bung comes with a plug (shown).

How does the replacement charge pipe reduce lag and improve throttle response?

Does this fit an n55 135?

Yes, not only it will reduce lag and speed up the throttle response, it will take away any chance of the pipe blowing itself up.

Here is the E8x 135i CP you need:

Thanks for the link. How does it reduce lag? I've seen this advertised elsewhere too but don't understand the physics that would support such a claim.

Smoother transitions in the tubing.
