do88 cooling products...any reviews?
While searching for cooling products (mainly IC) on this forum, I found number of reviews on (csf, er, vrsf, wagner…) but couldn't find anything about do88.
I found this chart on their website comparing it to wagner: https://www.do88.se/en/artiklar/bmw-...tercooler.html The quality seems good but not sure about the prices/performance comparing to other competitors. Curious to know if anyone have any reviews on this? |

I’ve got their larger aux radiator. I doubt it does a whole lot, but I already had the CSF oil, radiator, and DCT coolers, so added the do88.
My shop said the fit & finish quality was very good. |

I have replaced all the coolers on my track E92 M3 with do88 coolers. When I started tracking I quickly started overheating the DCT with the car still stock & on street tires. I went ahead and replaced all the coolers at that time figuring it would be needed anyways in the Texas heat. The DCT has performed flawless since even though I am pushing much faster & on much stickier tires now so the do88 cooler has definitely done the job there. I cannot directly compare before & after on the rest of the coolers since I didn't have engine temp issues before replacing the coolers. I can say that I have been happy with the temps of the car as it has progressed to its current state. This platform can have issues with heat when pushed pretty hard but until now the temps have been in check. We've gotten to the point now where we have outrun the stock cooling setup even with the better drop in coolers. Going to have to start getting a little creative now to keep temps where we want them for extended runs. F87 specific - I'm having the do88 engine oil cooler, radiator, remote radiator, and intercooler installed this week. Also went ahead and got their pressure pipe & turbo outlet hose. This will be in addition to a bootmod3 tune and fabspeed downpipe. I'm then going to go out to COTA Saturday and Sunday and flog the crap out of the car. Will give my impressions after this weekend. |

Don’t mean to highjack the thread but....I’ll be going to COTA this coming weekend also. This could be an interesting comparison. I’ll be there with all Oe coolers, except for an Evo 2 intercooler. This will also be my first HPDE weekend with an AEM water meth system installed. I’m hoping it will contribute to keeping engine oil and coolant temps in check, in addition to IATs. I haven’t had any operating temp issues so far to date, but this weekend should be a real test (been tracking the car since last October). The fact that I’m driving 8-9 10ths with this car helps as well. I hope the WMI supports the use PTF Stg 3 93, but I’ll reflash if there is are any issues. Try to run some logs and we’ll compare...second session each afternoon..should be the ultimate test...or maybe happy hour.

I'd be very curious to see some comparisons of the IC as against some of the other brands. I will likely upgrade my intercooler and put a tune on the car next summer and would be happy to have another quality option to consider.

Will definitely give my impressions & will try to get some usable data posted. Might not be a good apples to apples comparison but should have some good data on how the two different setups handle the heat - going to be pretty toasty out there. |

Link to the post with the data log on it:
https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...7&postcount=38 I was battling the heat all weekend. Half way through my warm up laps my IATs would already be above 130 and then would bounce between there and 160 consistently every lap. Even pulling power it was still pretty quick out there though, ton of grip. Looking into WMI and something else...

do88 IC, CP and Turbo pipe...great quality.
Can't judge the performance without a dyno but definitely can feel the improvement on the street. It might be only me but the exhaust sound increased slightly too. |

Search and you can probably find a coupon, as well. |

https://www.do88.se/shop/?funk=inst_...unk2=startsida I ordered both of my full setups from them directly & have received both orders in great shape and faster then half the stuff I order stateside. *Edited to add depending on what all you plan to purchase you might check to see if they do a Big Pack like they have on the E9x M3 side. They bundle the Big Pack with everything and lowers the price a bit. I didn't think to ask about it when I purchased everything for my M2 so not sure if they do it or not.

Look at the difference between this and the Wagner Comp. |

Would that have helped OG Shark at COTA, no idea. I think it's too situational dependent to say which IC style is better. Depending on ambient temps and driving style, one will outperform the other at different times. Plus, when you're max'ing them out on track, they're both going to get very toasty. I can say it is pretty amazing to see how quickly the Wagner Evo 2 Comp sheds heat after WOT pulls vs the Dinan bar/plate IC that I had previously. |

Considering IATs are the major weakness on our car (for those of us that aren’t WMI, yet ) temp performance is probably a more impt factor. If they perform about the same, less lbs is a little bonus. |

Are you running stock, or tuned? If stock, do you find any noticeable lag from this IC? Do88 reckoned that there shouldn't be any lag introduced, due the flow characteristics, but I am a little concerned about the large volume increase (123%) compared to stock (e.g. more volume to pressurise, hence potentially more lag). Please can you share your experience? Cheers. |
