Forced Induction

like every generation before it, the G80 M3 has the potential to be even more powerful, but with great power requires serious cooling. Luckily, Mishimoto has developed a charge air cooler manifold suited for serious power.—-The stock G80 M3 charge air cooler is designed as a combination intercooler/intake manifold design, which is efficient, but it’s let down by the tube-and-fin core crimped onto the thermoplastic plenum. Those crimps are quickly becoming a notorious weak point, with many failing at as little as 3 lbs. of boost over stock. The solution is Mishimoto’s cast aluminum and TIG-welded manifold with a robust bar-and-plate core, designed to withstand boost pressures over 60 PSI.—-Reliability aside, the Mishimoto charge air cooler’s has further improvements

Dyno-proven max gains of 5.7 whp and 5.3 lb-ft torque (2.3L EcoBoost) / 6.5 whp and 6.5 lb-ft torque (2.7L EcoBoost)
