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.

MINI F56 Wagner Competition Intercooler Kit is engineered to elevate performance with a core size of 580mm x 231mm x 110mm, offering a 53% larger frontal area and 52% more volume than the original intercooler. Wagner has enhanced the intercooler’s core size and efficiency while optimizing the end tank design to eliminate OEM bottlenecks, resulting in improved flow rating and superior charge cooling properties. Constructed from premium Tube and Fin intercooler cores and CAD-optimized cast aluminum, this intercooler ensures optimal internal airflow. The anti-corrosion protective coating enhances thermal heat dissipation, making this intercooler the ideal choice for maintaining low intake temperatures and achieving maximum performance gains. Installation is straightforward with no cutting required, as it fits directly in place of the OEM intercooler using the stock plumbing.
Package Includes:
MINI F56 Wagner Competition Intercooler Kit significantly enhances the cooling efficiency and performance of the MINI Cooper S JCW F54/F55/F56/F60 models. Designed to meet the demands of high-performance driving, this intercooler kit boasts a much larger core compared to the stock intercooler, improving airflow and cooling capabilities.
Packing List:
Enhance the performance of your Mini Cooper S with the MMR F56 MINI Cooper S Intercooler. This intercooler is designed to provide improved cooling efficiency and optimal airflow for increased power and responsiveness.
