HF-Series intercooler Mini Cooper S/ JCW/ GP2 R55/56/57/58/59/R60

This upgrade intercooler for the Mini Cooper S R56/60 incl. JCW / GP2 is a highlight of the HF-Series range.

The high-quality HFT core has excellent cooling properties to deliver the best performance even in poor conditions, while also being very robust.
It is characterised by high resistance and does not heat itself up as much as comparable nets from other manufacturers.
At the same time, the entire system is designed for the best possible flow.
This means that pressure loss is minimal and the entire charge air path was developed for good flow using CAD flow analyses. This also includes the cooler tanks, which are made of high-strength cast aluminium.

The advantages of this product are:
– significantly cooler charge air, which improves combustion in the engine
– quicker response
– improved flow

This makes the product interesting for both standard output and motorsport, as significantly higher outputs are also possible.
Each individual cooler was built on the respective vehicle, calculated in flow simulations and tested on the in-house performance test bench.

The intercooler is fitted to the original mounting points of the original OEM intercooler and therefore requires no major adaptation work. Installation can be done by customers with a well-stocked toolbox themselves.

What exactly does an upgrade intercooler do for you?
To express the exact power gain of an intercooler in figures, many unknown factors have to be taken into account, such as factory power variation, further hardware changes and the software used for the measurement.
This differs from vehicle to vehicle. As a rule of thumb, you can expect up to 5% – 10% on engines with increased output.
Just as important: whether your engine has already been optimised or is to stay standard as far as the software is concerned, you prevent a loss of power, particularly at high outside temperatures, or even the temperature protection stored in many control units being triggered, so you can always count on the full power of your engine.

Recommendation
Use our HF-Series intercoolers as a combination of hardware & software optimisation.
By reducing back pressure (relieving the turbocharger) and cooling the charge air (more oxygen in the combustion chamber plus thermal relief), power is increased, making efficient use of the potential of every turbocharged engine.
