Fits all Supercharged powered Mini R53 cooper S
Test Results:
Standard Intercooler – Peak power 204.9 bhp & 161.1 Ib/ft
Run 1 -Temperature Into intercooler from charger 150 degree & Out of Intercooler into engine 123 degree
Run 2 -Temperature Into intercooler from charger 152 degree & Out of Intercooler into engine 130 degree
Run 3 -Temperature Into intercooler from charger 155 degree & Out of Intercooler into engine 135 degree
Conclusion – the standard intercooler on a tuned Mini just doesn’t work, most owners know this.
Competitors Intercooler 50mm core (Note, this version didn’t have Air diverter scoop) – Peak power 216.0 bhp & 171.4 Ib/ft
Run 1 -Temperature Into intercooler from charger 124 degree & Out of Intercooler into engine 66 degree
Run 2 -Temperature Into intercooler from charger 131 degree & Out of Intercooler into engine 67 degree
Run 3 -Temperature Into intercooler from charger 140 degree & Out of Intercooler into engine 89 degree
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.

Run 1 -Temperature Into intercooler from charger 130 degree & Out of Intercooler into engine 44 degree

Run 3 -Temperature Into intercooler from charger 149 degree & Out of Intercooler into engine 49 degree
Conclusion – The Airtec 60mm bar and plate core works really well and keeps temps below 50 degree’s
