FORGE induction kit for BMW Mini Cooper F56

Description

The FORGE induction kit was developed for the 2.0 petrol engine. It also fits the 1.5 petrol engine, which uses the same factory airbox.

The intake has a custom aluminium heat shield that also works as a scoop. It directs air from the cold air inlet on the slam panel. The intake uses the stock mounting points with rubber grommets that reduce vibration and noise. The pipe to the filter is hand fabricated and has a precision machined MAF boss, so the original MAF sensor simply bolts on. The scoop and hard pipe have a hard-wearing crackle black powder coat for an OEM-style finish.

The filter is made by Pipercross to FORGE specifications. It is washable and reusable. It uses layered multi-density foam and protects the engine from dirt and dust. In the manufacturer's testing, the intake made 10 BHP more with no other changes to the car.

Installation

Fitting is straightforward and takes 20 to 30 minutes. No cutting or modification of the vehicle is needed, so the intake can be removed at any time. Fit the air filter carefully so that it is not damaged. Do not over tighten the hose clamp that connects the filter to the pipe. Doing so can crush the part and cause fitment or performance problems. The recommended torque for this clamp is 2 to 2.4 Nm.
