DO88

do88: Swedish Cool for Your Engine

Sweden is known for its harsh winters and engineering perfectionism. It is here, in the town of Nykvarn, that do88 is based — a European leader in developing cooling systems for performance cars. Starting with silicone hoses, they have grown into a tech giant that challenges heat soak head-on. Their philosophy is simple: factory cooling systems on BMWs, Porsches, or Volvos are enough for a grocery run, but woefully inadequate for the track or spirited driving.

ATOMIC-SHOP is an official distributor of do88. We offer solutions that solve the "Heat Soak" problem once and for all. If your car feels sluggish after two or three pulls, you need do88. It is an investment in consistent power, regardless of the outside temperature.

Scientific Approach: CFD and 3D Scanning

Most intercooler manufacturers simply make the core as big as possible. do88 takes a different path. Every product begins with a 3D scan of the vehicle's engine bay. Then, engineers create a digital model and run it through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations.

This allows them to see how air moves inside the intercooler End Tanks. Factory plastic tanks often have sharp angles that create turbulence and restrict flow. do88 tanks are cast aluminum with smooth, organic shapes that distribute air evenly across the entire core surface. The result? Maximum cooling with minimum Pressure Drop.

The BigPack™ Concept: A Complete Solution

Replacing just the intercooler often doesn't yield the desired result because the factory piping remains a bottleneck. do88 introduced a unique solution — the BigPack™.

This kit includes:
1. Performance Intercooler: Enlarged core with high fin density.
2. Heavy Duty Piping: Aluminum pipes with increased diameter (e.g., stepping up from 2.5" to 3").
3. Silicone Couplers: Reinforced hoses that do not balloon under boost.
By installing a BigPack, you remove all restrictions in the airflow path from the turbo to the throttle body. This delivers instant throttle response and drops Intake Air Temperatures (IAT) by 20-30°C.

Silicone That Resists Oil

do88 started as hose manufacturers, and they know silicone. Many cheap silicone hoses "sweat" oil after a year of use because standard silicone is not resistant to petroleum products.

do88 hoses are made from high-grade silicone with 3-5 layers of reinforcement fabric. But the secret weapon is the inner liner made of Fluorosilicone. This material is chemically inert to oil and fuel. Your hoses will stay dry, firm, and vibrant (blue, black, or red) for the lifetime of the car.

Carbon Under the Hood: Intake Systems

Beyond cooling, do88 manufactures premium Carbon Fiber Intake Systems for cars like the Audi RS3, BMW M3, and Porsche 911 Turbo. These aren't just open filters. They are fully enclosed carbon airboxes that draw cold air from outside the engine bay, not hot underhood air. The smooth internal surface of the carbon and massive BMC filters (often included) ensure maximum airflow to the turbos.

Drop-in Fitment: Installation Without Pain

The greatest value of do88 for the owner is ease of installation. 99% of their products are designed as "Drop-in fitment." Engineers design parts to fit onto factory mounting points. You don't need to cut, drill, or remove bumper supports. This makes it easy to return the car to stock if you decide to sell it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Bar-and-Plate vs. Tube-and-Fin: Which is better?

do88 uses both technologies depending on the application.
Bar-and-Plate: Heavier, stronger, has higher thermal inertia. Ideal for high-boost turbo kits.
Tube-and-Fin: Lighter, recovers (cools down) faster. do88 uses specialized Tube-and-Fin cores for water radiators and some intercoolers where weight and airflow through the stack are critical.

Do I need a tune after installing a BigPack?

Technically, the car will run without a tune, and you will feel the difference in consistency. But to unlock the extra horsepower potential of the BigPack (more air, lower temps), an ECU tune is highly recommended. The do88 intercooler allows for more ignition timing and boost safely.

Why replace the radiators?

Factory radiators often have plastic tanks that become brittle and crack with age. do88 radiators are all-aluminum and feature multi-pass technology (Dual Pass or Triple Pass), forcing coolant to pass through the core multiple times for superior heat dissipation.
