FORGE intercooler for BMW Mini Cooper S R56

Description

This uprated alloy intercooler replaces the original intercooler and has an L-shaped core. Four different air core constructions were tested during development. A stuffed fin, stepped core design was chosen for the final version.

Cooler intake air is denser, so the engine makes more power. The combined 80/40 mm core has high thermal efficiency, 250% more surface area and a 125% thicker base. Even at low road speeds, air was 9 °C cooler than with the original intercooler. At higher speeds during track testing, the difference was even greater.

Installation

The intercooler comes with all the mountings, so it is easy to install.
