Alpha Competition offers a premium performance upgrade for BMW vehicles equipped with the S55 engine, F80 M3, F82/F83 M4 including the F87 M2 and M2 Competition. Their meticulously engineered S55 charge air cooler (intercooler) addresses a critical limitation in the stock design, aiming to optimize engine performance and cooling efficiency, particularly under demanding driving conditions.
The factory-equipped charge air cooler plays a vital role in the S55 engine’s operation. Its function is to cool compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine. However, during spirited driving or high boost pressure scenarios, the stock unit can become overwhelmed, leading to a rise in intake air temperature. This phenomenon, known as “heat soak,” can significantly reduce engine power and performance.
The intercooler core boasts a significantly larger surface area compared to the stock unit. This expanded area allows for more efficient heat dissipation, ensuring cooler intake air temperatures and optimal engine performance.
The intercooler is typically constructed from high-grade aluminium, a material renowned for its exceptional thermal conductivity. This facilitates efficient heat transfer away from the compressed air, promoting optimal cooling.
The internal core design, including fin density and air channeling, is meticulously engineered to maximize airflow and heat exchange, ensuring the most effective cooling possible.
By ensuring cooler intake air temperatures, the Alpha Competition intercooler promotes denser air entering the engine. This translates to a potential increase in horsepower and torque for a more exhilarating driving experience.
The larger and more efficient core mitigates the risk of heat soak, maintaining consistent power output even during extended periods of demanding driving.
The Alpha Competition S55 charge air cooler is typically designed for a direct bolt-on installation, minimizing downtime during the upgrade process. However, for optimal performance and to ensure a proper fit, consulting with a qualified BMW service technician familiar with S55 engine modifications is highly recommended.
