BMW F20 116i intercooler upgrade!

In this video I am presenting the installation of an OEM BMW F20 125i 2.0lt (OEM 17517618809) intercooler (charge-air cooler) in my 226hp remapped BMW F20 116i. The process is "plug and play" and you can do it by your self.

Nice, Thanks for sharing! Could you please share the intercooler dimensions of N20 vs N13 in cm? Have a great day!

[@sayhigh]

N13 intercooler 17517600530 => Volume = 495×76×133 = 5003460 millimeters3 N20 intercooler 17517618809 => Volume = 495×100×135 = 6682500 millimeters3 Edit: merely calculate based on dimensions, without taking consideration of tube & fins)

No video on downpipe install?

[@filip12254xx]

did the exchange for a larger intercoller give anything in this case?

[@Outpost1977]

Thank you for this video. Did you use it on the N13 BMW motor? I'm also considering for buying this intercooler.

[@NIK7A]

Yes, the motor is the BMW N13.

[@PanderYT]

Nice video, I liked it!! Do you know if is also possibile to install in a b38 118i?

[@markus1714]

I think, the B-series engines have an watercooled intercooler

[@eac9099]

The n54 n55 intercooler fits on n13?

[@ShadierPort6414]

What temps are you getting now? Does it really change?

[@sayhigh]

Good day! Thanks for the video again. I have following your way, getting a N20 Intercooler for my 116i too! 👍 Cannot wait to install it 🤭 Thanks & Cheers

[@gjmheating8857]

Dont you have to drain engine coolant?

[@Chico1203]

you have better temperature?

[@mjc2gaming607]

would this intercooler be enough for the stage 2 remap?

[@Outpost1977]

i think it will be ok. It is produced for the 125i. Another option can be one of the Wagners, but they are expensive.

[@JuelZ925]

Without a oil cooler how is this possible?

[@markus1714]

I bought the M135i intercooler. It's plug&play, no cutting needed at any part.

[@sayhigh]

Nice one, how was it? Seems like the dimensions are the same for N20 & N55 stock intercooler.

[@markus1714]

@@sayhigh i don't know the size exactly. If they are similar, you can check it out comparing the part numbers.

[@sabz_bhp]

Definitely fits straight on

What are the results of this intercooler upgrade ?

[@NIK7A]

Hi! The intercooler of 125i (2.0lt) fits to 116i (1.6lt) without any kind of modification (it is plug & play). After the remap (226hp) the turbo pressure was increased (more air passes at the same time), so a larger intercooler was neccessary to decrease the inlet air temperature. That is the most classic conversion that most people do, without very high cost, without any car modification and achieving the desired result.

[@DaViDoFf4444]

eNTertainment Thanks bro. Also Thanks for the video About the Injen cold air intake. I ordered the same intake for my bmw f30 316i. I also ordered al gfb dv+ diverter valve. So i am very curious about how the car will react. Maybe you can tel me your experience you have whit the Injen cold air intake. Ps: the software of my car is tuned till 220 ps allready. Good day!

[@NIK7A]

@@DaViDoFf4444 You are welcome! With the Injen CAI the engine sound is much better during acceleration. You can hear the air suction from the air filter when pressing the gas pedal and when you are leaving it you can hear the wastegate whistle (even at eco pro).

[@masahiroshawn]

eNTertainment Hi, I did the same modification similar to you with the intercooler but it seems my intake temp increased when I’m on full throttle. The temperature increases. Does yours do that as well when full throttle? My stock intercooler didn’t do that before. Thanks.

[@andyy7612]

Where did you buy it from mate

[@patrykb8962]

Autodock . See orange cardboard .
