Intercooler for MINI

This Competition Intercooler is the perfect upgrade for all Supercharge Mini owners, especially those looking for heavy-duty performance or participating in competition events. With its advanced design and superior features, it's a game-changer for your Mini.

Designed to cater to high-performance R53 MINI Cooper S models from 2002-2006 and 2005-2008 R52 MINI Convertible S, it's also compatible with JCW models equipped with superchargers.

Key Features:

• Over 60% more intercooler capacity than OEM size intercoolers
• Bar and plate construction for exceptional heat dissipation
• Quick heat recovery, ideal for track events and spirited driving
• Up to 25% more rows in the same frontal area compared to conventional designs
• Large size with greater intake air cooling capacity
• Fits seamlessly in the OEM position (core: 232mm H X 305mm W X 62mm Thick)
• Black powder-coated finish for superior corrosion resistance
• Cast aluminum end caps for improved airflow and reliability
• TIG-welded end caps for durability
• Includes silicon hose snoot ends for added convenience

Elevate your Supercharge Mini's performance with this Competition Intercooler. It's time to experience the difference in power, cooling, and durability that this upgrade brings to your vehicle.

Experience top-tier performance with this competition model intercooler, tailored for higher power late models of the MINI Cooper S (F54, F56, R60 JCW models with B46 & B48 motors, 2015-18). Crafted using high-quality Tube and Fin design, this intercooler maximizes cooling efficiency within the permitted mounting areas, meeting stringent quality and performance standards.

• Largest intercooler in the current line for maximum engine intake air cooling in competitions
• 590mm x 225mm X 145mm dimensions with a stepped design for over 50% more volume than OE intercoolers, reducing pressure drop
• High-quality Tube and Fin construction for superior heat dissipation and minimized heat soak
• Enhanced design allowing up to 30% more rows in a given frontal area, surpassing conventional intercoolers
• Lower pressure drop compared to restricted conventional intercoolers
• Powder-coated finish for superior corrosion resistance, ideal for front-end exposure to rain and debris
• Cast aluminum end caps for optimized airflow and reliability, TIG welded to the intercooler core
• Ready for installation with stock piping

This ECS intercooler replaces the stock MINIature intercooler with a MASSIVE 250% larger surface area and a 125% thicker base core! This increase in core size improves flow while cooling compressed air into the intake manifold. Cast aluminum end tanks are TIG welded and feature machined transitions for maximum flow. This intercooler features a special black powder coating to prevent fin corrosion, as well as improve overall heat transfer to insure the lowest possible outlet temperatures.

FEATURES:

250% larger surface area compared to the OEM intercooler 125% thicker intercooler core TIG welded transitions Flat black powder-coated finish BENEFITS:

Drastically lower intercooler outlet temperatures/intake air temperatures Increased airflow Reduces the likelihood of heat soak DESIGN:

The limitations of the stock intercooler were apparent throughout our testing and design process. The stock part consistently struggled to manage charge air temperatures, even under normal driving conditions. Our ECS Intercooler has been designed to improve on every restrictive element of the stock cooler, enhancing cooling efficiency by lowering intake air temperatures even compared to the R56 Cooper S aluminum intercooler, allowing you to continuously push your car without the detriment of heat soak!

This ECS Front Mount Intercooler Kit was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team at our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

NOTE: A performance tune is not required to run this intercooler. A tune will only increase the output of the engine when equipped with this intercooler.
