Description

Description
Optimize your engine with the do88 intercooler piping kit for B58 Generation 1 found in the BMW M240i, 340i and 440i and more!

BMW often uses plastic for their original intercooler hoses. While this choice is economical for the manufacturer, it isn't always suitable for handling pressurized air. As the plastic ages, or if the pressure inside your car increases, these hoses are susceptible to bursting.

A faulty intercooler hose can cause a reduction in power, known as limp mode, or the car may stall completely, requiring hose replacement before it can restart. This could potentially leave you stranded.

Numerous intercooler hose kits for the B58 engine are available on the market, but in our opinion, most are poorly designed. Many competitors use a basic design: two hoses connected by a shortened, straight silicone hose. Clearly, they haven't grasped the importance of managing thermal movement within this system. Such a design is almost guaranteed to cause problems, with the hose detaching due to its lack of flexibility in the face of temperature changes. A common solution people consider is tightening the clamps further, but this will often break the hoses because it deforms the clamping surface.

But at do88, we took a different approach. For us, it was clear that the system required a flexible connection between the two hoses that could accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. Our solution is an aramid-reinforced silicone hose with three bulges. This hose design allows movement in all directions without kinking or stressing the connections. To further strengthen our design, the hoses have CNC-machined 6063 aluminum hose connection ends with a 3mm wall thickness. These hose connections won't deform, even with overtightened clamps.

Our intercooler hoses not only solve the durability problem but also improve performance. We designed our hoses with a larger diameter and smoother bends to enhance performance. The lower hose measures 60mm (2 3/8″) and the upper hose 76mm (3″), effectively reducing pressure loss and minimizing turbulence.

Our intercooler piping, which connects to the throttle body via its CNC-machined flange, features two 1/8 NPT ports suitable for methanol injection or outlets such as a boost pressure sensor. Additionally, we supply two 1/8 NPT plugs for those who choose not to use these ports.

Features:

Flexible hose connection between the upper and lower intercooler pipes allowing movement that prevents the hose from detaching.
Specially designed 3-bump silicone hose, reinforced with high-temperature resistant aramid fabric and stainless steel outer rings.
High-quality Mikalor hose clamps are included. These clamps feature an inner ring that prevents damage to the hose and distributes clamp pressure evenly around the hose.
Better airflow and less back pressure for your engine!
23% more flow compared to OEM, with 649 CFM @ 150mbar (2,17 psi) compared to OEM 528 CFM.
CNC machined hose connections with an inner diameter matching the hose, providing a deformation-resistant hose clamping surface.
CNC machined MAP sensor pattern, turbo connections and throttle body.
Connections (2x) 1/8 NPT CNC machined, perfect for methanol injection or as outlets, for example for a boost pressure sensor.
Two 1/8 NPT plugs are included if you do not wish to use the ports.
60mm (2 3/8″) and 76mm (3″) mandrel-bent intercooler piping coated with an elegant black powder coating.
Does not interfere with the engine cover.
Includes all hardware and instructions for complete installation
