intercooler is what VRSF calls their \u201cHigh Density\u201d fin pack. It means that the intercooler has lots of tiny fins packed closely together, which helps cool down the air before it enters your engine. <\/p>\n<p>When air is cooler, it\u2019s denser, meaning it contains more oxygen. More oxygen means the engine can burn fuel more effectively, boosting its power!<\/p>\n<p>The build of the intercooler is impressive, you can see and feel the quality: <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"VRSF HD Intercooler side view\" class=\"wp-image-6975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-1024x768.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"VRSF HD Intercooler side view\" class=\"wp-image-6975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-side-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Unlike the OEM intercooler, which uses a lot of plastic, the VRSF intercooler is made from solid aluminum:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"VRSF HD Intercooler top view\" class=\"wp-image-6986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-1024x768.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"VRSF HD Intercooler top view\" class=\"wp-image-6986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-hd-intercooler-top-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>This intercooler is designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement.

VRSF claims it takes less than 1.5 hours, which I found pretty accurate. But guess what? I removed the front bumper for the installation, and it turned out that it was completely unnecessary. The old\/new intercooler will slide in just behind the front bumper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower air intake temperatures. <\/strong>The intercooler\u2019s main job is to keep the intake air cool, and the VRSF HD Intercooler excels at this, being 87% larger than the OEM intercooler. VRSF has shared data logs where the intake air temperature stays consistent with their intercooler, whereas it increases significantly on the stock intercooler:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"879\" alt=\"BMW N55 OEM Intercooler vs. VRSF HD Intercooler performance\" class=\"wp-image-6976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs-1024x879.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs-768x659.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs.jpg 1458w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs-1024x879.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"879\" src=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs-1024x879.jpg\" alt=\"BMW N55 OEM Intercooler vs. VRSF HD Intercooler performance\" class=\"wp-image-6976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs-1024x879.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs-768x659.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cartriple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vrsf-5-hd-vs-oem-logs.jpg 1458w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vr-speed.com\/vrsf-intercooler-fmic-upgrade-kit-12-16-f20-f30-228i-m235i-328i-335i-428i-435i-n20-n55.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"67512\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Proprietary high-density fin pack.<\/strong> Another feature that helps cool down the intake air is the high-density fin pack, which means the VRSF intercooler has more fins per square inch than standard intercoolers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance improvement.<\/strong> While I haven\u2019t pushed my BMW to the extreme limits yet since installing the intercooler, I genuinely believe it offers significant performance upgrades, especially if you live in warmer climates or have tuned your car.

A better intercooler like the VRSF HD Intercooler keeps your engine\u2019s intake cooler, which is crucial for performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1711010693483\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">How much HP does a VRSF Intercooler add?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n<p>The VRSF Intercooler itself doesn\u2019t directly add horsepower. Rather, it prevents a decrease in power you may experience with the OEM intercooler due to rising intake temperatures. The VRSF Intercooler significantly reduces the intake air temperature, which indirectly leads to horsepower gains, especially in tuned setups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1711010711101\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Do you need a tune for an intercooler?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n<p>You don\u2019t necessarily need a tune after installing an upgraded intercooler like the VRSF. However, to fully capitalize on the intercooler\u2019s benefits, pairing it with a proper tune can be very beneficial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1711010721136\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Does an intercooler increase efficiency?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n<p>Yes, an intercooler can increase your vehicle\u2019s efficiency. Cooling down the intake air can provide better combustion and potentially improve fuel economy under certain conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>From my own experience, putting the VRSF HD Intercooler into my BMW M135i was pretty straightforward and rewarding. <\/p>\n<p>You might not notice a huge difference right away when you\u2019re just driving around town, but knowing that your engine is staying cooler and running better is a big plus!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one of those upgrades (<a href=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/vrsf-n55-catless-downpipe-review\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/cartriple.com\/vrsf-n55-catless-downpipe-review\/\" data-lasso-id=\"67641\">like the VRSF downpipe<\/a>) that many BMW owners, myself included, are really glad they went for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re someone who loves to squeeze every bit of performance out of their car, then you know how crucial a good intercooler is, especially for turbocharged engines.
