HF-Series intercooler Mini Cooper S/ JCW/ GP2 R56 N14B16A

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

The high quality HFT net has the best cooling properties to deliver the best performance even in poor conditions and at the same time is 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 also designed for best flow.
This means that the pressure loss is minimal and the entire charge air path has been developed with CAD flow analyses in mind. This also includes the radiator boxes, which are made of high-strength cast aluminium.

The advantages of this product are:
- significantly cooler charge air, which improves engine combustion
- earlier response
- improved flow

Therefore, this product is interesting for both series performance and racing, because considerably higher performance is 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 give you?
In order to express the exact additional performance of an intercooler in figures, many unknown factors must be taken into account, such as: performance variation from the factory, further hardware changes, as well as the software used in the determination.
This varies from vehicle to vehicle. As a rule of thumb, one can assume up to 5% - 10% for performance-enhanced engines.
What is at least as important, however, is that regardless of whether your engine has already been optimised or whether it is to remain standard on the software side, you prevent a loss of power, especially at high outside air temperatures, or even the reaching of the temperature protection, which is stored in many control units, and can thus always count on the full power of your engine.

Recommendation
Use our HF-Series intercoolers as a combination of hardware & software optimisation.
By reducing the backpressure (relieving the turbocharger) and cooling the charge air (increasing the oxygen content in the combustion chamber + thermal relief), the result is performance tuning that efficiently exploits the potential of any turbocharged engine.
