I think it is less effective with coolant present but might still do a little bit.

Probably something to post in the MHD thread, but the MHD tuning app has an option that called: "sport cooling mode for intercooler". The manual says: "This flash option runs the pump for W2A (water to air) intercooler cars more in order to improve
cooling of IAT’s, especially useful when sitting in the staging lanes waiting to race". Not sure if bootmod has that same setting. With the CSF Heat Exchanger, would setting that help? And if so, what would it do? |

It will not reduce temp increase or improve efficiency of the heat exchanger, but should help reduce peak temps. So if normally my IATs go from 80F-100F during a pull, it'll be 70F-90F with sport cooling on. |

Here's the final round of data. I added a half bottle of water wetter to the intercooler circuit, and it made another incremental improvement in temp and consistency.
https://datazap.me/u/kern4179/stock-...ww?log=0&data= IAT Delta (IAT Increase during the pull) Stock: 21°F,19°F,17°F CSF: 19°F,17°F,15°F CSF No Cover: 18°F,16°F,14°F Water Wetter: 16°F,17°F,15°F Amb/IAT Temp Delta Stock: 20°F,20°F,20°F CSF: 18°F,17°F,16°F CSF No Cover: 20°F,17°F,15°F Water Wetter: 16°F,17°F,15°F Vid review coming later |

2 questions for you-
Do you think that this mod has bigger impact on 'while driving' cooling performance than cooling performance during staging periods? I'm primarily concerned about rising IATs while staging for drag racing and in between autocross runs while the car is idling and stationary. Do you think this mod or WMI would have more impact on cooling during idling/staging periods?

Alright I hear you. I did use ice at the dragstrip last month and it seemed to help somewhat.

Just registered an account to give a quick thanks kern417 I installed last weekend thanks to your video alone.
Do you think I have a chance of running lean if I dont supplement with a tune? Stock turbo , aftermarket intake, and the MPPSK from BMW. |

Finally got a chance to post my video review to Youtube. Hope it answers some questions people have asked.

In regards to the "Sport cooling mode" that some tuning programs offer you, do you think this will impact the life of the water pump with it running more often? is the water pump for the "cold side" a mechanical or electronic pump? Again thanks for the info, I'm subscribed and cant wait to see what else you do!

I'm curious, since our ac depends on this same heat exchanger, did anyone notice their ac getting colder after doing this mod?

it wouldn't make it colder directly, but it may help it stay cold in hotter climates. i've never had issues with my A/C personally.

Here in Phoenix, the summer can get as hot as 120F, that's why I asked if maybe the heat exchanger could help. And I already bought the CSF one, probably will install it in the coming months.

Also, have you posted a review of the intake manifold you installed a while ago on your 340i, it would be interesting to see IAT differences. I'm personally interested in buying the new Do88 intake manifold, it apparently fits our stock engine cover.
