Performance - Mini Cooper S R56

We took one of the very first UK Mini R56’s produced and immediately set to work to improve the OEM intercooler. We did this with the first ever ground breaking innovative L Shape intercooler core design. Many other companies simply copied this design, but Forge still remain the clear market leader due the exhaustive core testing undertaken in the development stages, we were not content with any air core. The Forge Motorsport development team tested 4 different constructions of air core before choosing the final stuffed fin stepped design intercooler for the 2007 onwards models (R56/R57) BMW Mini Cooper S Turbo. As a reduction in intake air temperature increases the density of the charge mixture within the combustion cylinder, any temperature reductions will equate to more power. This intercooler is constructed using a combined 80/40mm high thermal efficiency core, with a 250% larger surface area and a 125% thicker base core, to achieve the best possible results. In fact, even in relatively low road speeds/air velocities, our intercooler was able to better the OEM unit by 9°C, with greater improvements being achievable during greater speeds during track testing. The replacement intercooler is supplied with all the mountings to allow ease of installation.   Click here to find out about information and care for yourForge Motorsport cooling product.   Please Note: In line with our policy to constantly review, revise, and improve our product range, the appearance of the product you receive may differ from the one advertised.

TECHNICAL DATA Bolt on BHP, by lowering the charge Air temperatures, a remapped car has increased power by ecu changes that raise boost pressure and other parameters, this increase in boost pressure raise intake temps and power loss soon follows, by fitting an up-rated intercooler you lower these intake temps, in turn increasing bhp and making your engine safer The step design has been proven by two other Intercooler manufactures and proved this design works, we have put our own twist on things with smooth cast end tanks and our proven bar ‘n’ plate intercooler core Fits all Turbo powered Mini cooper S, no drilling required. Some minor trimming of lower grill may be required. Available in Pro-Series satin Black only Approximate Dimensions: 699mm width 210mm height Step core design 80mm bottom section, 40mm top section Intercooler Volume Capacity (The amount of charged air that the intercooler can hold) AIRTEC: 3.2 litres AIRTEC part number: ATINTMINI01
