After mostly finishing the design of the BMW intercooler end tanks, I’m thinking about going another direction. It would have worked and worked well but I just don’t love how it’s sitting on top of the engine. It doesn’t feel well integrated.

We’ll see if I actually finish this new direction but I’m thinking I’ll make a new intake manifold with the intercooler integrated into it. Certainly more complex to engineer this, but it’s also a fun project. It’s possible I start with the BMW intercooler and then go this route later.

The design is far from complete but this is how it’s shaping up. (It’s rendered in carbon but it will be 3D printed nylon and/or aluminum)
