1100HP Custom Bar and Plate Front Mount Intercooler Kit

The VRSF 10903050 is a 7.5" Stepped Race Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) upgrade kit engineered to significantly reduce intake temperatures and prevent heat soak in N54 and N55 engines, supporting up to 1000 wheel horsepower. This intercooler is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the OEM unit, which is often overwhelmed by increased boost levels and airflow, leading to power loss and potential pre-detonation. The core of this intercooler is an ultra-high density, 1100hp custom bar and plate design featuring staggered and offset internal and external fins. This construction is optimized for maximum intake temperature reduction while maintaining minimal pressure drop. Its bar and plate design is also more robust than the OEM tube and fin core, offering better resistance to damage from road debris. This intercooler is specifically recommended for cars with upgraded turbochargers, including larger twin or single turbo setups, and has been featured in record-breaking builds achieving up to 1100WHP. Construction features CFD-backed, one-piece seamless cast aluminum end tanks, which offer superior flow and durability compared to sheet metal or multi-piece designs. The intercooler is finished in a uniform, bright silver coating to protect against corrosion. VRSF includes a lifetime warranty and a satisfaction guarantee covering fitment and defects. The kit comes complete with custom molded couplers and stainless steel t-bolt clamps. Installation is designed to be straightforward, with tabs that retain the factory fan shroud, and is estimated to take less than 2.5 hours. Note that the race intercooler requires trimming of the black plastic shroud behind the bumper, but not the bumper itself. This intercooler is specifically designed for the following BMW models equipped with N54 or N55 3.0L engines: E82 135i (2007-2012), E84 X1 xDrive35i (2012-2015), E90 335i/xi (2007-2011), E92 335i/is/xi (2007-2013), and E93 335i (2007-2013). It is important to use the vehicle selector to confirm exact fitment for your specific vehicle.
