A Look Behind The ETS Testing Scene!

Here is a look into some of the testing that goes on behind the scene at ETS. This testing is for our 335i BMW Intercooler Upgrade.

Test Data


Stock Intercooler (Bad Plugs and Stage 1 Tune)


ETS Intercooler (Bad Plugs and Stage 1 Tune)


4th Gear Pull - ETS vs Stock (Bad Plugs and Stage 1 Tune)


Stock IC vs ETS Gear Comparison


Start Log File (Same Outlet Temps)


Start Pull - The stock intercooler will start to heat up at idle.


Middle Pull - 1:00 minute into the pull the outlet temps have a 37.8 degree difference.


End Pull - 1:05 into the pull the outlet temps have a difference of 59.4 degree.


1st Through 4th Gear Pull - Stock VS ETS Intercooler (Bad Plugs w/ Stage 1)


Top of 1st Gear Pull


Top of 2nd Gear Pull


Top of 3rd Gear Pull


Top of 4th Gear Pull


15 Sec. after pull.


30 Sec. after pull. - The car still has a 42 degree temp difference between the two, I can't even imagine what the temps are like after a few pulls.


It's amazing what a good set of plugs can do. We didni't have time to go through all the tests again with good plugs, but you can get a good idea of how good this intercooler works. All tests were done on an Automatic 335i.

Awesome ETS. Damn the stock IC on a 335i is pretty beefy. Plastic end tanks . ETS comes through and steps it up as usual.

Great work

Nice...anybody notice that a 335i is putting down almost 400whp with only about 2 mods through an automatic They are monsters on the highway...stock turbo evo gonna need E85 to keep up with them.

Btw you guys are gonna swarm their market because the other kits out their for the 335i are insanely expensive. Gonna see 335i hitting up the track with ETS stickers soon...yessir

Have you done a comparison of pressure drop vs. temperature drop? That will be more indicative of your performance.

what kind of thermocouples are you guys using? lmk....I happen to have a grip of new ones that I can lend.
