Talking **NEW** VRSF X3/X4 Intercooler, Downpipe & Charge Pipe

VRSF 5" Street HD Intercooler FMIC Upgrade Kit 10-18 BMW X3 35iX, X4 35iX & X4 M40iX F25 F26 N55

VRSF Intercooler Upgrade Kit
for your 2010 - 2018 BMW X3 35iX, X4 35iX & X4 M40iX F25 F26 with the N55 engine.
Replace your inefficient factory intercooler with a VRSF upgraded intercooler kit to get the most out of your N55. Our intercoolers are designed to be the best performing, direct bolt on intercoolers available for your BMW with special attention to quality and performance while maintaining a reasonable price. Each VRSF intercooler includes our proprietary High Density fin pack which results in higher HP gains compared to the other guys, mainly due to our incredibly dense internal and external fin pack. Our core was engineered to offer a greater overall surface area for increased heat absorption as well as dissipation.

VRSF HD Intercooler Core
The most important component of any intercooler is the core. The core cools the charged air from the turbo before it enters the engine and the OEM BMW tube and fin intercooler is designed to support low boost levels and air flow. When tuned, airflow and boost levels are increased significantly. This causes the OEM intercooler to heat soak and reduces HP and increases the chance of pre-detonation.

We remedy this problem with our proprietary, high density bar and plate intercooler core which utilizes a staggered and offset internal and external fin pack. The VRSF HD core has been carefully balanced to provide the the best intake temperature reduction while maintaining minimal pressure drop. The VRSF HD core is also much more durable than the OEM tube and fin core, with a better ability to withstand rocks and other debris.

The VRSF Street HD Intercooler is comprised of an incredibly dense fin pack both internally and externally. It's not uncommon to see intake temperatures drop at the end of a 3rd gear pull due to the Street HD's larger overall surface area. You can expect to see an intake temperature reduction on a stock turbo, full bolt on car during a 3rd gear pull which is why we the Street HD is THE best option for your N55. Please note that the HD fin pack is now standard at no extra charge!

Installation & Construction
We include everything required to replace the OEM intercooler on your X3 35iX, X4 35iX & X4 M40iX. All VRSF intercoolers feature tabs that allow the retention of the factory fan shroud and our CFD optimized cast end tanks are designed to work with both the OEM intercooler piping as well as any aftermarket charge pipe that adapts to the OEM FMIC. After each intercooler is pressure tested, we then apply a thermal dispersant coating which ensure a leak free experience along with superior protection against the elements. Our intercoolers fit both Left Hand Drive (LHD) & Right Hand Drive (RHD) Models as well as all XI models.

Features
  • Proprietary VRSF HD bar & plate core.
  • CFD optimized cast end tanks.
  • 87% larger than the OEM intercooler.
  • Quick and easy install (less than 1.5 hours)
  • Compatible with both OEM and aftermarket charge pipes.
  • Thermal heat dispersent for added durability.
  • Includes lifetime warranty
  • Dimensions: 21" x 8.5" x 5"

This item fits the following BMWs:
  • 2009 - 2018 F25 BMW X3 35i & 35iX N55

Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag with the VRSF Charge Pipe Upgrade for your F25/F26 BMW X3 35iX, X4 35iX & X4 M40iX.

Each VRSF charge pipe is finished in a durable wrinkle black powdercoated finish that blends in perfectly with the engine bay. We also include one plugged 1/8" NPT bung that can be used for methanol injection, boost leak testing or as a boost source. The OEM charge pipe is prone to failure at both stock and tuned boost levels which is why we include everything necessary to replace your flimsy OEM chargepipe including high quality, 4-ply silicone couplers as well as stainless steel t-bolt clamps.

Additionally, we offer and recommend replacement throttle body c-clips and o-rings in case your original clip and gasket are lost or worn.

Bought one of the intercoolers direct from VRSF... Hoping fitment is easy!

Good luck with your install and let us know what you find. I've fit a couple of different F30 intercoolers (first Phoenix, now VRSF Race) to my car. The single bolt mounting point on the bracket and the bracket's placement are what are less than ideal. I had to fab up adapters to drop the intercooler down about 3/4" and adapt the two hole stock mounting to the single hole mount one the intercooler.

Then, of course, the charge pipe length changes, requiring longer silicone hump hose to get the extra length and compensate for the misalignment.

If that's been rectified for the X3 fitment (doesn't look like it) and it's a drop-in install, that would be awesome for you guys. If not, VRSF should send me a Christmas prezzy for the R&D consulting.

I will definitely make a thread for the install.

From the parts box, it looks like VRSF is doing something very similar to your brackets, so we'll see how the charge pipe fitment works out. I do have an FTP chargepipe, so I'm hoping it has enough room, otherwise I'll need to source a longer silicone connector.

Need to get this thing powdercoated lightly so it keeps things looking stock, but after that I'll be eager to do the install and finish off my bolt ons
