Really great job! Thank you for the well done video! I'm gonna guess your car is a 2009? Because it has the full on sensor package with the LCI upgrade and the whole bumper underneath at least is much different than mine and most of the cars I've seen in YT. But I'm sure glad I watch yours as it showed al of this. Subbed!
Thanks heaps for that! Mine’s actually a 2007, it even has the 8 bolt crank which I learned when I did the clutch! The under tray is from an LCI I think as it’s not a perfect fit for my front bumper but I made it work as my car came without one! Much appreciated 😃
Have you tested more the new aftermarket 7.5" Intercooler since you have installed it? How it works compared to the previous 5" (Wagner?)? What is your experience? Thx
I have been driving it around on the street and really haven’t noticed much of a difference but I’m hoping next time I take it to track it might not get so hot! It’s probably better for a big single turbo too, the 5” was probably fine for the street with stock turbos, just my thoughts anyway! Hope that helps!
Aww awesome, thanks buddy, much appreciated, it’s just a generic 7.5” stepped IC off eBay for a BMW. And I brought the silicone joiners and hardware separately!
I wouldn’t use brake cleaner as a lubricant! You have to be careful what you use break cleaner on! I just used a cheap water dispersant spray, similar to WD40 but cheaper. Good luck with it, we all had to start somewhere 😃
I used the standard mounts so what ever thread they are, but one was broken so I put a long screw up into the plastic, it seems to be holding in place alright so far!
Good stuff mate, based on the results a mate here has seen with huge reduction in IAT's going from 5" stepped to 7.5" stepped, it'll work just fine for you. Wow 100C IAT, man I bet it had some timing corrections happening.
That’s good to know, cheers, yeah it got damn hot coming out of turn 6 at Queensland Raceway in 3rd gear, that’s when I thought ‘I need a bigger cooler’ haha! Contemplating meth injection too..
I think it’s a bit better than the old one, I’ve done 2 track days now and it’s been going good! Still gets pretty high IAT’s, but probably because of the stock turbos on 20psi.
Love you garage setup man haha 😂
Casually hiding an SLS AMG is crazy
Thanks heaps!! I love it too but it might not be around much longer unfortunately..
Damn an SLS AMG would be amazing!!

Good to see you agin mate. good job 😁
Much appreciated buddy, let’s hope it’s not so long again for the next one! 🤞🏼
Scubas back!
Haha finally ay! I hope it’s not so long again until the next video, but I’m still not out of this situation causing the delays yet..

Sub'd a while back when i was doing some clutch maintenance great work on this one ! Curious on what IC you went with ?
Aww awesome, thanks buddy, much appreciated, it’s just a generic 7.5” stepped IC off eBay for a BMW.
And I brought the silicone joiners and hardware separately!
Hi, what spray did you use to lubricta the hoses? and can i use brake cleaner as a lubricant? sorry i am super new at DIY stuff. Thanks

@@ScubaMade awesome and did you use your own screws? i got same intercooler but it didn't come with screws.
Oh sweet! Yeah I did and I had to buy the silicone hoses and clamps separately too.
What size bolts did you use to mount the intercooler up?
I used the standard mounts so what ever thread they are, but one was broken so I put a long screw up into the plastic, it seems to be holding in place alright so far!

@@ScubaMade you should have a talk to Charles B, he runs WMI quite successfully.
Ok that’s cool, it’s kinda at the back of things I might do for now, but it’s still a thought! Cheers!
@@ScubaMade I've PM'd you via FB
Got it! Thanks 😁
Any updates is there an improvement ?

ebay intercooler? :)
Yep, and it works great so far luckily!
