BMW 335i Intercooler Upgrade

September 15th, 2009 Comments off

Spearco Intercoolers introduces a new large capacity, high flow, front mount intercooler upgrade for the BMW 335i coupe and sedan, increasing horsepower and torque. Made for those looking to increase the horsepower and efficiency of their 335i to match the great factory torque delivery, Turbonetics heat exchanger brand Spearco, now offers bolt-on upgrades for the 2007-up 335i coupes and sedans.


Spearco BMW 335i Intercooler Features:
Performance:

• 14.38 horsepower average increase over stock at higher boost levels
• Averaged 14.3 pressure in and 14.1 pressure out – Only 0.2 pressure drop
• Temperature drops average over 125° F and 10% better than stock
Details:
• Bolt-on intercooler kit…no modifications required.
• Bar and plate core design – designed for rugged conditions and high boost levels.
• Computer modeled core design – high effectiveness and low pressure drop.
• Works with all ECU upgrade programs.
• Strong aluminum end tanks and piping replaces the weak factory plastic
• Installs in under three hours
• Part Number 15179

BMW owners can now enjoy the benefits of increased flow and more efficient air to help dramatically lower intake air temperatures to increase power. By using a massive 6″ thick W.A.V.E. Technology core, the Spearco front mount intercooler dropped charge air temperatures on average of 125 degrees on the twin turbo vehicle. In addition to lower intake air temperatures, the pressure of air exiting the intercooler compared to the pressure entering the unit was only an amazing 0.20 psi drop. The stock unit has over one pound of pressure loss/drop due to the factory unit’s lack of efficiency and limited size. When the stock unit is upgraded to the Spearco you will have less heat and more power due to the ability to quickly and efficiently move the pressurized air through the intercooler assembly.


Once the initial investment is made, the result is a lifetime of free power and improved fuel economy. The intercooler reduces charge air temperature entering the engine, increasing the air density for increased power and torque, while reducing the overall thermal load on the engine and cooling system as exhaust temperatures are reduced at the same time. This results in less transfer of heat to the cooling system, and engine compartment and assists in maintaining normal temperatures on long hard power pulls. Since the intercooler is mounted in the factory location there is no need to worry about making any modifications to the vehicle. In addition to power and performance, you can anticipate an increase in fuel economy as the cooler, denser air creates a leaner air-to-fuel ratio.

Spearco’s drop-in replacement intercooler upgrade features W.A.V.E. Technology bar and plate cores for increased strength and efficiency by utilizing the maximum surface area of the cores available each core is pressure tested to over 200+ psi. Hand crafted and precision welded, each Spearco assembly is fabricated to strict tolerances and every unit is pressure tested underwater to ensure a leak free intercooler assembly. The Spearco Intercooler upgrade drops in place very easily in 2-3 hours time. Combined with higher boost pressures, the Spearco 335i front mount intercooler provides a win-win combination of additional power and increased efficiency.

Aeromotive Releases Stealth Fuel Cell

September 8th, 2009 Comments off

Finally a complete, “in-tank” fuel system that is truly universal. The Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Cell is an all aluminum fuel cell with an Aeromotive Fuel Pump and Filter, built right into the cell itself. Just like any fuel cell, these can be mounted anywhere, in any car. Simply strap the fuel cell in, hook up your fuel line to the pump outlet and your two wires and you’re done. No more searching for a place to mount your fuel pump and pre-pump filter.

The Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Cell gives you an advantage over any traditional fuel system setup. Through an innovative baffling system inside the cell, the fuel pump inlet always has a constant column of fuel. In addition, the baffling keeps fuel at that same point even during extreme driving conditions, making it perfect off-road vehicles, drag racing, even autocross and drifting. This feature alone ensures the longevity and drivability of your fuel pump. Plus, the pump is inside the cell, so noise is drastically reduced and the fuel pump runs cooler longer.

The Stealth Fuel Cell is designed to be ideal for both EFI and Carbureted applications for street driving or racing, even if it’s forced air induction or naturally aspirated. The proper regulator is required depending on your application. The Stealth Series comes in either 15 or 20 gallon sizes, with either an Aeromotive A1000, or Eliminator fuel pump and filter.

15 Gallon A1000 Stealth Fuel Cell—AEI-18660
20 Gallon A1000 Stealth Fuel Cell—AEI-18661
15 Gallon Eliminator Stealth Fuel Cell—AEI-18662
20 Gallon Eliminator Stealth Fuel Cell—AEI-18663

DEI’s New Titanium Exhaust Wrap

September 4th, 2009 Comments off

 

Constructed from pulverized lava rock, extruded into fibers and then woven into a tight weave gives this material titanium-like strength and toughness. This improvement in thermal protection helps reduce underhood temperatures resulting in cooler air intake for improved performance. And less heat in the engine bay means reducing the chances of “heat soak” conditions on vital underhood components.

Titanium Wrap is extremely durable and capable of handling more heat than any other wrap found in the market today. Typical glass fiber wrap is rated at handling 1200 degrees F of maximum direct heat, while Design Engineering’s new Titanium Wrap, using LR Technology, is capable of handling direct continuous heat up to 1800 degrees F and radiant heat up to 2800 degrees F. And because it’s pliable, there’s no need to wet the wrap when wrapping headers or pipes as many do in order to make the wrapping process easier to manage and to get a “tight” wrap.


Available through Titan Motorsports in 1” and 2” widths and 15 and 50 foot lengths, Titanium Wrap will not shrink and because of it’s material structure, it is more resistant to temperature and vibration break-down, abrasions, chemical and hot oil spills vs. glass fiber wrap. Plus DEI’s Titanium Wrap offers an added feature – a very cool carbon fiber look!

BMW 335i Turbocharger Blow-Off Valve (BOV) Kit from Turbonetics

August 28th, 2009 Comments off

Turbonetics introduces compressor anti-surge and turbocharger protection for the BMW 335i coupe and sedan. Designed to minimize wear on the internal bearings of the turbochargers and provide increased throttle response, the 335i BOV kit combines increased durability and performance.

BMW owners have always understood the link between form and function. Just like the factories the vehicles come from aftermarket parts need to live up to design and performance. The Turbonetics 335i BOV kit surpasses both standards. As today’s cars become more and more finely tuned to wring every last bit of performance and fuel economy, certain parts are called on more than others. The forced induction system on the 335i’s N54 engine platform is pushed to greater limits with small twin turbochargers come from the factory running higher than average boost levels. With higher boost comes added stress on the turbochargers rotating components. A well designed and efficient blow-off valve kit helps to alleviate unnecessary wear and strain on the turbochargers internal thrust bearings, turbine wheel shaft, increase lifespan and improve performance.

Turbonetics BMW 335i BOV Kit
Part Number: 11403

Kit features:
• Twin Raptor Blow-Off Valves easily handling 600+HP for maximum flow and efficiency
• High flow BOV filters to prevent particulate entry and noise suppression
• Polished aluminum BOV’s for high strength & clean looks
• Filters are removable for increased sound appeal
• Polished aluminum horns available separately
• Precision machined adaptor flanges to mount to factory positions
• All hardware, and accessories necessary for installation

Why are blow-off valves important? The turbocharger is moving large amounts of air while under boost, and this pressure is being delivered to the engine while the throttle is depressed. As soon as the throttle is lifted the butterfly closes in the throttle body preventing the pressurized air from entering the intake manifold. Because the engine is still moving exhaust gases and the inertia of the turbocharger is turning the turbine and compressor wheels, the air literally stacks up against the throttle blades. Pressure builds up within the system’s piping extremely quickly and once it reaches the compressor wheel the air actually flows back out of the compressor inlet and limits the compressor from rotating. Because of the air reversing direction the pressure drops allowing the wheel to spin and once again raise the pressure. This process of up and down pressure and air reversal is surge and the result is the fluttering/barking sound that comes from the turbo. Surge is very detrimental to the turbocharger, resulting in various stresses being placed on the unit. The compressor wheel has high loads placed on it as it tries to move against this wall of air, and as high pressure air finds its way behind the compressor wheel. Compressor surge can result in the compressor wheel spinning on the shaft, shaft breakage, bearings to have unnecessary wear and potentially create contact between the wheels and housings.

The compressor blow-off valve is placed after the intercooler and before the throttle body to help eliminate the pressurized air. Vacuum controlled, the BOV receives a signal from inside the intake manifold or just after the throttle body, pulling up on a diaphragm, causing a valve to open inside the unit. The pressurized air that is discharged is then routed back to the inlet of the turbocharger or vented to atmosphere protecting the compressor from surge and assisting in maintaining the speed at which the turbochargers wheels are turning improving throttle response and drivability.
