Product Details
Information and graphs from Airtec
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
Airtec Test results - Tim's 233.3 bhp (Airtec cooled) Tuned MINI R53 @ Amd rolling road 10th May 2013 - Note, Results below were with bonnet closed on every run.
Fits all Supercharged powered MINI R53 cooper S
Standard Intercooler - Peak power 204.9 bhp & 161.1 Ib/ft
Conclusion - the standard intercooler on a tuned MINI just doesn't work, most owners know this, here's the proof for other owners that didn't know.
Competitors Intercooler 50mm core (Note, this version didn't have Air diverter scoop) - Peak power 216.0 bhp & 171.4 Ib/ft
Conclusion - This intercooler worked much better than standard, but we feel the 50mm tube and fin core still couldn't handle highly tuned MINI's intake temps.
Airtec Intercooler 60mm core - Peak power 233.3.0 bhp & 190.5 Ib/ft
Conclusion - The Airtec 60mm bar and plate core works really well and keeps temps below 50 degree's
