Before 2018
Please note: This kit is not compatible with 2018 Mini Cooper F56, Cooper S and JCW. Forge Motorsport has spearheaded Mini preparation since 2006, and is a historic sponsor of the Mini Challenge in the UK, where you can enjoy the performance of Forge components on the Mini R56 and F56. The Forge Motorsport intake for the latest generations of Mini (F54, F55 and F56 chassis) has been specially designed for the 2.0 petrol engines powering the Cooper S and Cooper JCW, although it is also compatible with the Cooper 1.5 petrol, BMW having used the same airbox. This intake features an aluminum heat shield that doubles as an air intake to send fresh air from the apron intake, and mounts on the original fasteners, with rubber washers to reduce noise and vibration. Have a look at the Forge video on dyno testing: they measured +10 hp. The duct to the filter is hand-built and has an air flow meter outlet so that the standard one can be screwed onto the new intake. If you have an air flow meter like this one, this component is compatible with your vehicle. If you have a flowmeter like this one, this component is not compatible. Please order FMINDK26 The filter is manufactured by Pipercross to Forge specifications (www.pipercross.net) Washable and serviceable. Multi-layer foam technology. Designed and manufactured in the UK. Increased power and torque with enhanced protection against mud and dust. Designed for better flow and longer life. Last but not least, the inlet air intake and rigid tubing feature a cracked black finish for standard styling. In terms of performance, Forge measured a +10hp improvement without any further modifications to the car, as can be seen in the attached video. Installation is very easy, requires no cuts or modifications to the vehicle, and is therefore fully reversible. Installation time: 20-30 minutes. *Please note - the Pipercross filter does not include the Forge lifetime warranty* You can use the video made by Forge on how to fit a filter without damaging it.
Products intended for vehicle modification for competition purposes may render their use prohibited on public roads, insofar as they significantly alter the vehicle's characteristics as specified in the type-approval certificate issued by the relevant authorities (noise level, pollutant emissions, maximum speed, tire dimensions, etc.).
