High Capacity Oil Cooler System
Controlling operating temperatures becomes even more significant when you consider increasing boost pressure, which in addition to added power output also generates more heat. Recognizing the significance of this issue, Dinan set out to develop a more efficient heat exchanger, ultimately in the form of a High Capacity Oil Cooler.
The Dinan High Capacity Oil Cooler provides literally twice the volume of the stock unit, as well as 414 sq./in. of cooling tube vs. 112.5, and that’s really just the beginning. Nicely integrated inlet ducting provides greater airflow efficiencies and the ventilation of air to the fender well has also been improved with a larger outlet. The system mounts neatly in the stock location and includes lightweight convoluted PTFE hoses with polyester outer braid fitted with race-quality fittings.
Specifications
Total Volume Stock: 9.5 oz. / Total Volume Dinan: 19 oz.
Stock Surface Area: 45 sq./in. / Dinan Surface Area: 67.5 sq./in.
Stock Cooling Tubes: 10 / Dinan Cooling Tubes: 23
Stock Tube Length: 90 in. / Dinan Tube Length: 207 in.
Stock Tube Area: 112.5 sq./in. / Dinan Tube Area: 414 sq./in.
The results of the oil cooler upgrade are quite significant, with the temperature gauge holding steady even under high load/high boost scenarios. And for those of you who track their cars, even occasionally, the Dinan oil cooler is a must.
Stage 1 Performance Engine Software/Boost Upgrade - 3/08 and Later Production with MSD 81 Controller.
Dinan's Stage 1 Performance Engine Software for BMW 135 models provides a more modest increase in boost also providing substantial power gains. And as always, Dinan matches the new car warranty coverage for up to 4 years or 50,000 miles, including the possibility of consequential damages. No one offers better performance or backs it up with such comprehensive warranty coverage.
The Stage 1 Dinan Performance Engine Software safely increases turbo-boost pressure, along with properly re-tuned fuel mixtures, ignition timing and full map rescaling. The top speed governor is removed, enabling the 135 to achieve its full potential. The software also features remapped water pump speeds as boost increases, better controlling operating temperatures which have been notably excessive even at stock boost pressures.
