Evolution Racewerks BMW Z4 Competition Series Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) Kit
Introducing our new, long awaited Competition Series Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) System! Over a year of development and testing with our 135i Time Attack Race Car (same engine as the Z4 sDrive35i), our Competition FMIC is now ready. With the scorching heat found on Southern California racetracks, we pushed our 135i Time Attack Race Car to the limits in 100+ degree weather on numerous occassions. The results were 6 design revisions improving cooling efficiency and internal flow characteristics to introduce you to the ultimate intercooler solution for your 2009+ (E89) Z4 sDrive35i!
Key Features:
The heart of the ER Competition FMIC is the massive 20"x5.5"x6" (26.5"x5.5"x3" with end tanks) high density bar and plate intercooler core. It features 660 cubic inches of very efficient high density bar & plate core (35% larger) versus the factory 425 cubic inches of less efficient tube & fin core. Through extensive testing of different types of intercooler cores (tube & fin, bar & plate) we found that the high density bar and plate core to be the most efficient. Independent testing (all data & dynos shown below have been independently conducted by our customers) has shown that our FMIC is so efficient in cooling that it has cooled intake air temperatures (IAT) to almost ambient (outside) temperatures. We also did extensive testing on the proper size to use to effectively cool the hot charged air as well as fight off heatsoaking (when the intercooler cannot transfer heat away faster than the heat building up from the hot intake air). Heatsoaking is not an issue at all as shown by consistency of the IAT staying in the same temperature range throughout the WHOLE RPM powerband. Also our FMIC recovers so fast after a full throttle pull that once you shift, it recovers completely. This is why pull after pull, our FMIC does not œheatsoak. Beat on it all day long and the IATs will consistently be near ambient temperatures. Our Competition FMIC is just what it is, designed for competition. The other intercoolers may be adequate if you lived your life a ¼ mile at a time (with hours between runs to cool down), they will definitely heatsoak under harsher conditions like road racing where you're at full throttle for at least 20 minutes. With numerous laps around our local racetracks in 100+ degree weather, heatsoak is not a problem on our 135i Time Attack race car. With it's size and ability to support over 600hp, it is most likely the "last intercooler you will ever buy".
One of the most overlooked aspect of intercooler design is the intercooler end tank and piping. Having shorter and less bends on the intercooler piping will promote better internal flow. This helps in reducing turbo lag, increase throttle response and faster boost spool ups. An intercooler end tank must be designed to channel and distribute air coming in from the inlet efficiently throughout the intercooler core. Our end tanks design has been revised numerous times to promote smooth internal air flow. The cast end tanks allow us to have nice smooth radius on the inner edges of the end tank, causing less turbulence. The inlet pipe angle has been changed to provide a smooth entry into the end tank and removes an extra bend that the factory hoses have. Rubber hosing expands under boost pressure. This expansion disrupts internal flow and causes turbulence, all of which slow down airflow velocity (which causes slower boost spool up and decreased throttle response). By replacing ALL the factory rubber hoses with hard piping, noticeable increases in boost spool up and faster throttle response can be seen. That is why our FMIC kit comes with a new upper intercooler piping whereas brand FMIC kits do not.
Our Competition FMIC sits in the factory location underneath the radiator. Why you ask? The radiator fan and radiator shrouding extends from the radiator above, all the way down to the factory intercooler. By sitting our FMIC in the same location, we can take advantage of the radiator fan sitting behind the intercooler to pulling air through the intercooler core. This makes for even greater efficiency, just like how the BMW engineers designed it to do. Even with just a small fan on the dyno, intake air temperatures are still very low. Also, by maintaining the factory configuration, we do not block airflow to the radiator at all. The cooling system on the N54 engine is already at it's maximum capacity and we have seen overheating issues with both oil and coolant while racing. By having an intercooler blocking half the airflow the the radiator will definitely not help it's cooling efficiency.
We also offer our intercoolers in any color of the rainbow you want (special order) and is available in only Type II Anodizing (asthetics). Brush (or plain) finish is also available.
Quality is very important to us. We do extensive R&D as well as beta testing to ensure this (as some of you may already know, waiting for us to release the production units). We only release our products once we feel we have reached perfection. We do not rush to get our products out even if there is alot of potential customers. Also, we do quality checks before the intercoolers are packaged. EVERY FMIC is pressure tested to 50 PSI of pressure before they are shipped to ensure no leakage. We include only high quality parts and accessories in our FMIC kit. Your FMIC Kit will come with expensive silicone "hump" hoses. Since the intercooler is mounted to the chassis of the car (that does not move) and the piping to the engine (which moves from when the engine rocks), these specialized silicone "hump" hoses allow the connection to flex therefore preventing hoses from ripping apart, increasing the durability and longevity of the intercooler kit. All intercooloer piping ends have a beaded edge. This beaded edge prevents the intercooler piping from slipping off the connection from boost pressure. We also include high quality t-bolt clamps. T-bolt clamps are specialized hose clamps to offer more clamping force than traditional worm clamps. The beaded piping ends and t-bolt clamps make it virtually impossible to having your intercooler piping blow off from boost pressure. We include detail instructions and ALLparts needed for installation. All our FMIC’s are backed with our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
We go through extensive R&D to test all the innovations and features we incorporate into our intercooler systems. With years of experience building race cars and high power street cars, you can be sure that you're getting the best.
Our Competition FMIC is offered in 3 different packages: Basic, Standard and Full Kits.
BASIC KIT The Basic Kit consists of the intercooler assembly, upper intercooler piping, silicone hump hoses and t-bolt clamps. Everything you need to install the FMIC on your car and is what is typically included in most FMIC kits out in the market. |

STANDARD KIT The Standard Kit consists of everything included in the Basic Kit but adds the Diverter Valve Charge Pipe. The Diverter Valve Charge Pipe allows easy upgrades of the Diverter Valve or Blow Off Valves. Increase throttle response as well as decrease turbo lag are the benefits of the new Diverter Valve Charge Pipe. For more information about the Diverter Valve Charge Pipe, click here. |
Forge Diverter Valve Upgrade Kit TIAL Q Blow Off Valve |
DIVERTER VALVE & BLOW OFF VALVE OPTIONS Diverter Valve & Blow off Valve Option can be added to either Standard or Full Kits. BOV flange will be welded to the diverter valve pipe instead of the factory style diverter valve flanges. We are now carrying the Forge Diverter Valve Upgrade Kits. For more information about the Forge Diverter Valve Upgrade Kit, click here. You now have 3 different blow off valves to choose from: TIAL 50mm Q Blow Off Valve, Synapse Synchronic Blow Off Valve and HKS Super Sequential Blow Off Valve. TIAL BOV Option: Black color is standard. For other colors, please specify. Available in black, red, blue, polished silver and purple. Synapse Synchronic Blow Off Valve The new HKS Super Sequential Blow Off Valve 4 |
METHANOL INJECTOR BUNGS With the popularity of methanol injection systems, we have added the option of having methanol injector bungs welded to our diverter valve charge pipe. This allows quick and easy installation of methanol injectors that are used in methanol injection systems. You have the option of adding 1 or 2 methanol injector bungs. |
