Overview
The OE thermal management system for the B4x/B58 G-chassis BMW and Toyota GR Supra offers an improved formula from prior generations. With a setup where engine coolant is also re-routed through the heat exchanger, the system effectively assists in overall engine cooling as well as charge cooling. However, like its predecessors, it has room for improvement as it can be overwhelmed when the system is taxed aggressively or as power levels are increased. Once overburdened, this results in the undesirable outcome of power being diminished. Avoidance of this unwelcome scenario can be attained though with a Dinan heat exchanger that improves the overall thermal management system so everything runs cooler and more efficiently while being budget friendly. The Dinan B4x/B58 heat exchanger for the BMW G2x/G4x and Toyota A9x Supra assists in improving overall charge cooling using a more robust core (45mm thick Dinan core vs. 26.75mm thick OEM core) that wields 68% more heat transfer surface area for improved cooling capacity. The significant increase in core thickness and full-size end tanks contribute to the overall thermal mass (ability to absorb, store, and release heat) improvement beyond the OEM setup. With up to a nearly 12º reduction in charge air temps recorded over stock the Dinan heat exchanger is ready, and able, to assist in extending your vehicles ability to deliver maximum performance time and time again for your driving enjoyment!

Heat Exchanger Endurance Testing
Charge Air Temp Reduction, or Intercooler Temperature drop (Intercooler dT), is a measurement of the temperature drop across the intercooler (inlet temperature - outlet temperature). For this testing and data presentation, the measurement was taken at the end of each pull (~100mph WOT). The end of the pull was chosen as it generally represents the highest load on the charge cooling system. The charge cooling system has two parts, the intercooler and heat exchanger. The data shows that by implementing the Dinan heat exchanger, with the OEM intercooler, the charge cooling system pulls more heat from the overall system and typical performance decays are effectively non-existent over a prolonged series of pulls.
