AFE Bladerunner I/C & Tubes

Market Description

This BladeRunner Intercooler represents the next generation of intercoolers. Designed specifically for the 2014-2018 BMW 328d/dx (F30/F31) L4-2.0L (td) with the N47 engine, this BladeRunner intercooler utilizes a 5" bar and plate core design. This design outflows the factory tube and fin core design, while the 3/16" TIG-Welded end tanks offer superior strength and durability. In testing, this intercooler showed flow gains up to 15% and lowered the intake air temperatures. The unique BladeRunner end tanks are constructed out of 3/16" thick aluminum plates and include two 1/8" NPT ports for sensors or water-methanol injection. The use of the bar and plate core design allows for greater airflow and increased heat dissipation over the much smaller tube and fin design used by the factory. 100% TIG-Welded inside and out by a certified craftsmen for strength and durability. TIG-Welding provides the strongest welds while reducing stress cracks. The BladeRunner Intercooler is test pressure rated at 200psi.
