FORGE induction kit for Mini F56

Description

The FORGE induction kit has a bespoke aluminium heat shield. The shield also works as an inlet scoop, directing air from the cold air inlet on the slam panel. The kit uses the stock mounting points with rubber grommets to reduce vibration and noise.

The pipe to the filter is hand fabricated. It has a precision-machined MAF boss, so the original MAF sensor simply bolts on. The inlet scoop and hard pipe have a hard-wearing crackle black powder coat for an OEM-style finish. Pipercross makes the filter to FORGE specifications. It is washable and reusable and uses layered multi-density foam. The kit improves engine power and torque and protects the engine from dirt and dust. It gained 10 bhp in dyno testing.

Installation

Fitting is straightforward and takes 20–30 minutes. The kit needs no cutting or modification to the vehicle, so it can easily be removed. Do not over-tighten the hose clamp between the filter and the pipe. Doing so can crush the part and cause fitment or performance issues. The recommended torque for this clamp is 2–2.4 Nm.
