Bimmerworld has the PFC Z54 for ~$3800 which is cheaper than the AP kit even with their discount. |

$3800 is too shocking for me at the moment. Maybe in a few more months lol.

Edit: I found this, http://www.bm-parts.com/index.php?ro...&product_id=59, this would allow connection to an aftermarket cooler, something like this maybe: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bmm-70274/. Same cooling style as the do88 cooler (plate). Hmm. Last edited by b4hand; 11-30-2019 at 03:18 AM.. |

same with the oil cooler. complicated aero that is easy to screw up if you try to slap on parts like its an old chevy.

Did you get the radiator and oil cooler? I've read you need both otherwise the stock part gets too hot from not enough airflow.

I'm gonna investigate this, I feel there is a better solution. Even with labor, I bet it would be under 500 for a shop to install my solution, and it can be easily replaced if something happened to it. Looking at the do88 instructions...its not as strraight-forward as I thought heh. Last edited by b4hand; 11-30-2019 at 11:49 AM.. |

But why? I'm sure you as a custom car builder can attest to finding solutions to things that aren't always just off the shelf parts. Just because someone makes it, doesn't mean it can't be made for less.
I bought an exocage Mr2, with a gen4 3sgte. The best part I am finding is us having to solve problems without just buying something someone else makes. Especially simple coolers and stuff. The d088 is just a fluid cooler. I could be wrong, and I'd like to be, I just don't see the need for something that small as a transmission cooler to need to be 1000. |

I’m not saying $1000 is a good deal, that hurts. But paying a shop to do it is not going to be cheaper. DIY at home where your time doesn’t bill for anything? Sure, you can save some money for sure. And have something that might be equally as effective... if you’re lucky. |

besides the downsides i already stated, i guess.
take a look at the delicate placement of ducting and constraints. if you feel like you can do a better job, please do. https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=21495119

Is it the best possible solution? Who knows. I can tell you with empirical data that it functions a fair amount better (around 25ºF) than the stock unit because I took the time to hook up two temp gauges and measure stock performance and measure do88 performance. The results were good enough for me. And that's what it boils down to----is it good enough for you at the price point? If not, then go out and design one that's better and perhaps more cost effective. I get the sense you're itching to do it. So do it! You will have an audience here eager to hear your results.

I make my own stuff because it's fun. Actually, I end up spending more in some cases when DIYing something because you miss something. It takes awhile to get the experience and know how to make something better at a lower cost. You're already starting off at a high point when compared to OE. I haven't delved deeply into it yet, but I think cooling in an E9X is going to be very challenging. For one, you have very limited openings for fresh air flow.
