Description
The do88 Performance Side Mounted Intercooler Radiator - WC-360 is engineered to optimize your BMW F8X M3 or M4's intercooler system, improving the efficiency of the charge air cooling circuit. The S55 turbo engine that powers the BMW M3 / M4 F8X utilizes a water-cooled intercooler, which requires an efficient radiator to keep Intake Air Temperature (IAT) as low as possible. Higher IATs are directly correlated to lower peak power, making it essential to keep the cooling system at its best. This radiator upgrade is designed to significantly lower IAT, increasing both performance and reliability.
Key Features and Benefits
-
100% Larger Core Volume
The do88 WC-360 radiator is a performance-oriented upgrade featuring a 100% larger core volume (3393 cm³ vs. 1693 cm³). This upgrade allows for significantly improved cooling efficiency, which helps maintain lower IATs during both street and track driving. -
Increased Frontal Surface Area
With an 18% increase in frontal surface area (499 cm² vs. 423 cm²), the do88 WC-360 ensures better heat dissipation. This larger surface area is essential for keeping temperatures in check during heavy use, especially in modified or high-performance setups. -
5°C Lower IAT
Thanks to the improved core design and air flow dynamics, this radiator reduces post-intercooler air temperature by 5°C, keeping intake air cooler and improving engine performance. Lower IATs result in better engine efficiency and more consistent power delivery, especially during demanding driving conditions. -
Advanced Core Design
The radiator features a dual-row core with multi-channel tubes for superior heat dissipation. The 8mm fin height with a multi-louvered design maximizes airflow and cooling efficiency, ensuring your engine remains cool under high load conditions. -
Carbon Fiber Air Ducting
To maximize air intake and cooling, the do88 WC-360 includes a specially designed carbon fiber air duct manufactured using the autoclave process. This duct optimizes airflow to the radiator, ensuring the most efficient cooling possible. -
Drop-in Fitment
The do88 WC-360 side-mounted radiator is designed for easy drop-in fitment with OEM cooling lines, allowing for a straightforward installation process without the need for modifications. This ensures quick and hassle-free installation, getting you back on the road or track faster.
