Thermal Efficiency is the name of the game and we
came to play. cp-eTM has always strived to be innovators in the
automotive industry and we have created a product that separates our
FMIC from all other solutions.
At the heart of the FMIC, we feature a 3" thick bar and plate design
that is capable of supporting up to 750hp. We also provide replacement
piping for pre and post-intercooler piping. The 135i intercooler is
measured at 4" x 6" x 22" which is a substantial upgrade from the stock
unit. We opted for this size to maximize surface area while eliminating
the cutting required for the end-user to install the intercooler. Our
FMIC posted a staggering 83% efficiency @6800 RPM whereas the stock unit
was 58%. We could say our intercooler is 95% efficient but that isn't a
relative portion of the test and we believe it's misleading.
In addition to this FMIC, we have also engineered an oil-cooling unit
that is mounted on the FMIC to alleviate all notions of the N54 stock
oil cooling not being sufficient under heavy driving. So for the price
of the competition you also get an oil-cooling unit on top of an
upgraded intercooler.
With the growing need to provide qualitative data, cp-eTM has made
it a priority to do vigorous testing on our FMIC and provide the public
with a full synopsis of how our FMIC performs under various driving
conditions. To capture this information, we used our BlackBox logging
utility. It's a telemetry logging system that uses both a 3D
accelerometer and a GPS to indicate vehicle speed and position over
time.
Additionally, the system features 8 analog input channels which have
been populated with a series of temperature and pressure sensors so we
can see exactly how the intercooler performs under real conditions!
Heat soak and overheating oil from your OEM equipment is a thing of the
past. With the cp-eTM FMIC and oil-cooling kit you can step into a new
level of power and performance with your N54.
