After a long wait, the Evolution Racewerks Competition Series Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) is finally here, and let me tell you, it’s been worth it. Over a year of development and testing on various cars in all sorts of racing conditions has led to this beast, specifically designed for your BMW.
At the core of the ER Competition FMIC is a hefty 20"x11"x3" core (26"x11"x3" with end tanks) that showcases Evolution Racewerks' renowned high-density bar and plate design. This isn’t just any intercooler; it boasts a whopping 660 cubic inches of efficient cooling power, which is a solid 35% larger than the factory's 425 cubic inches of tube and fin core. Trust me, I've seen the difference this makes on the track.
What really sets the Evolution Racewerks intercooler apart is its fin density. More fins mean more surface area for heat transfer, which translates to better cooling. While most intercoolers out there have about 12-14 fins per square inch, the ER cores crank it up to 18-20 fins per square inch. This means you can achieve the same efficiency in a smaller package, and when you’re pushing your BMW to the limits, every bit counts.
Real-world tests have shown that these intercoolers consistently outperform the competition. We've even seen rival brands opt for Evolution Racewerks intercoolers in competition settings. The independent test data speaks volumes; this FMIC can cool intake air temperatures down to nearly ambient levels, and it does an incredible job of fighting off heat soak. You know that annoying drop in performance when the intercooler gets too hot? Forget about it. With this intercooler, your IATs stay stable throughout the entire RPM range. It recovers so quickly after a full throttle pull that you won’t even notice a dip in performance when you shift.
Designed for the serious competitor, this intercooler is built to handle the demands of extended full-throttle runs, even when you're stuck behind other cars that block airflow. I've put it through its paces on the track, even in sweltering 100-degree heat, and heat soak was never an issue. If you’re pushing over 600hp, this intercooler is likely the last one you’ll ever need.
In short, if you’re serious about your BMW and want an intercooler that can keep up with your performance goals, the Evolution Racewerks Competition FMIC is a solid choice. It’s built for the long haul and ready to handle whatever you throw at it.
