The Dinandual core intercooler provides a 240% increase in face area along with an equally impressive increase in volume, substantially reducing the pressure drop to 0.8 psi, as well as providing for more efficient heat exchange and more consistent output power. Dinan‘s unique dual core design allows 2 separate cores to be working in conjunction with one another at all times. This doubling of resources is directly responsible for a 60% improvement in the delta from charge air temperature to ambient temperature (See diagrams below). “Cool down” time is also reduced, enabling the cars to produce full power under varying driving conditions such as stop and go traffic. This leaves the chances of being susceptible to heat soak nearly a thing of the past.  The system has been engineered to be as direct a replacement as possible to the stock unit, requiring only minor modifications for a clean, factory-like installation. The increased thermal efficiency provided by the Dinan dual core intercooler will also enhance turbocharger reliability in addition to overall power. On a stock vehicle power gains can be had from 4000 RPM and beyond (when the car is in boost).  In order to achieve the best performance however the intercooler should be paired with the Stage 3 DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner as it provides optimization of the intercooler. In particular it extends the power band to be more robust and powerful from 4000 RPM to redline whereas without tuning the bulk of the gains are from 6000 RPM to redline.   Benefits of the Dinan High Performance Dual Core Intercooler:

  • Max gains of 15 HP and 13 lb-ft of torque @ 6250 RPM on the N55 engine(greater gains and a wider power band can be achieved when paired with stage 3DINANTRONICS). Max gains of 6 HP and 5 lb-ft of torque @ 5500 RPM (greater gains and a wider power band can be achieved when paired with stage 3DINANTRONICS)
  • Face area  240% larger than the stock intercooler setup for maximum cooling efficiency to deter heat soak. 
  • Charge Air Pressure drop: 0.80 PSI (25% improvement over stock)
  • Charge Air Temperature drop: 155º F (11% improvement over stock)
  • Charge Air Temperature / Ambient Temperature Delta: 18º F @ 6250 RPM (60% improvement over stock)

Intercooler does not fit vehicles equipped with Active Cruise Control. The intercooler has not been fit checked / tested for certain combinations of bumpers / car variants. As testing is completed the application list will be extended to include further vehicles / variants. The intention is that this intercooler should fit every 2/3/4 series vehicle with exception of the F33 435i Convertible which has some additional bracing that makes compatibility impossible. Stage 3 DINANTRONICSFor the F30 328i F22/23 M235i F30/34 335i F32/36 435i With the release of the new Dinan dual core intercooler the stage 3 DINANTRONICSPerformance Tuner is now becoming available for applicable models. This stage of tune is specifically designed to optimize the intercooler efficiencies. With its main purpose to extend the increased power band throughout the entire boost rev range, not just the upper RPM spectrum as what naturally happens without the tune and just the intercooler. What this means is that a more linear and extended power delivery can be achieved to go along with the dual core intercooler’s inherent temperature and pressure advantages. There are a few different performance data set numbers listed below depending on application and other factors.     DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner for the F22 / F23 M235i, F30 / F34 335i (w/ MPPK, Auto Trans.) & F32 / F36 435i (w/ MPPK, Auto Trans.)ONLY applicable to cars equipped with an electronic wastegate.   Retail Price:D440-1641-ST3 Stage 3                                      $2499.00Install Time:                                   1.5 hrs BMW Factory Ratings:320 HP, 330 lb-ft torque (326 HP, 379 lb-ft Measured)   With DINANTRONICS Tuner, Dinan Exhaust, CAI, and Dual Intercooler:399 HP, 455 lb-ft torque   DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner for theF30 / F34 335i (w/ MPPK, Manual Trans.) & F32 / F36 435i (w/ MPPK, Manual Trans.)ONLY applicable to cars equipped with an electronic wastegate.  Retail Price:D440-1641-ST3 Stage 3                                      $2499.00Install Time:                                   1.5 hrs BMW Factory Ratings:320 HP, 317 lb-ft torque (327 HP, 353 lb-ft Measured)   With DINANTRONICS Tuner, Dinan Exhaust, CAI, and Dual Intercooler:401 HP, 436 lb-ft torque   DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner for the F30 / F34 335i & F32 / F36 435i ONLY applicable to cars equipped with an electronic wastegate.   Retail Price:D440-1639-ST3 Stage 3                                      $2499.00Install Time:                                   1.5 hrs BMW Factory Ratings:300 HP, 300 lb-ft torque (315 HP, 330 lb-ft Measured)   With DINANTRONICS Tuner, Dinan Exhaust, CAI, and Dual Intercooler:395 HP, 417 lb-ft torque  DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner for the F30 328iONLY applicable to cars equipped with a mechanical wastegate.  Retail Price:D440-1631-ST3 Stage 3                                      $1749.00Install Time:                                   1.5 hrs BMW Factory Ratings:240 HP, 260 lb-ft torque (268 HP, 287 lb-ft Measured)   With DINANTRONICS Tuner, Dinan Exhaust and Dual Intercooler:323 HP, 336 lb-ft torque   DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner Description The DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner is a highly engineered and sophisticated piece of computer hardware and software that enhances engine performance, without negating or voiding your new car warranty coverage and without affecting long term reliability or the functionality of on-board diagnostic systems.
