While this cooler is located inside the intake manifold, it relies on a front-mounted heat exchanger for heat dissipation. Many enthusiasts have found that this heat exchanger is a limiting factor when it comes to extracting more horsepower and torque from the twin-turbocharged platform. Its single-row, 27mm core is quick to heat soak, resulting in sky-high IATs and subsequently sending the DME into limp-home-mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo solve this issue, Turner Motorsport has designed an all-aluminum, performance-oriented heat exchanger suitable for street-focused, high-horsepower builds, track-oriented vehicles, and everything in between. To improve upon the factory design, Turner engineers started by addressing the weak, failure-prone plastic end tanks. Constructed from durable 5052 aluminum and TIG-welded for added strength, these end tanks are guaranteed to outlast the factory design. Additionally, the end tanks feature CNC-machined billet aluminum hose connectors, flanges, and brackets. This ensures seamless integration with the factory hoses and mounting provisions, providing a trouble-free fit and effortless installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo boost cooling system efficiency and reduce IATs, the OEM 27mm, single-row core is replaced with a dual-row, 35mm core, and the overall frontal surface area is increased from 307mm to 475mm. This increases overall cooling system volume by 100%, thereby improving the heat exchanger's ability to dissipate heat. In turn, this upgrade grants cooler charge air temperatures, allowing you to extract more power from your S55-equipped BMW reliably!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplaces OEM part numbers 17112284608 \u0026amp; 17112459062.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5052 aluminum construction eliminates plastic end tank failures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA performance-oriented, dual-row core provides a 55% increase in frontal surface area, and a 100.29% increase in coolant volume over the OE heat exchanger!\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOE Heat Exchanger:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-row core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27mm core thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e307mm core height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurner Motorsport High Performance Aluminum Heat Exchanger:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-row core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35mm core thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e475mm core height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIG-welded 5052 aluminum end tanks, polished to a mirror finish for a high-quality look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC-machined connectors and bracketry ensure seamless fitment with factory cooling hoses, transmission cooler lines, condenser, and radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop-in upgrade - no modifications required for installation!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross Reference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17112284608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17112459062\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Turner Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67768012734768,"sku":"4920939","price":397.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/7582\/4176\/files\/2018073_x800_9a703439-2b7e-47f3-9a25-5d5b0d699365.webp?v=1789073204","url":"https:\/\/es-performance.com\/en-us\/products\/turner-f8x-high-performance-aluminum-heat-exchanger","provider":"Eurosport Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
