CSF Bmw N54 High Performance Stepped Core Intercooler - Silver

The CSF High-Performance Stepped Core Intercooler for the BMW N54 engine is designed for enthusiasts who demand exceptional performance from their vehicles. Known for its impressive power potential, the N54 can easily exceed 500 hp and, in some cases, reach as high as 1000 hp. To unleash this level of performance, a quality intercooler is essential to manage the increased Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) generated by higher boost pressures and power outputs. Superior Design and Construction The OEM intercooler is constructed with plastic end tanks that are crimped onto a modest aluminum tube/fin core, measuring 4 inches thick (105mm) and 5 inches high (127mm). While this may suffice for stock applications, it quickly becomes a bottleneck for modified vehicles, causing IATs to rise significantly and hindering performance. The CSF intercooler addresses these issues with its stepped core design and robust bar/plate construction. This "drop-in fit" intercooler requires no modifications for installation and features a larger bottom section that is 5.5 inches thick (140mm) and a massive front face measuring 8.25 inches tall (210mm). Advanced Airflow Efficiency Crafted with CSF's exclusive rounded bar/plate core design, the intercooler enhances airflow efficiency. The rounded front face directs airflow smoothly into the core, preventing scattering and ensuring optimal cooling performance. This innovative design outperforms both the OEM unit and all other aftermarket intercoolers, which typically use flat face tubes or bars. With its enhanced capacity, the CSF intercooler is well-equipped to handle even the most demanding N54 engine builds, confidently supporting power outputs of up to 1000 hp without compromising on performance. The CSF #8127 intercooler comes in a striking silver finish and is also available in a sleek black option (CSF #8127B), making it not just a performance upgrade but a visually appealing addition to your BMW. Experience the difference with CSF's cutting-edge intercooler technology, designed for those who refuse to settle for anything less than the best.
