The MINI, unfortunately, suffers from a few significant design flaws about
cooling the engine. As a result of all of the smaller pulleys the compressed
air from the supercharger is hotter. What now? No worries your engine is
just fine for now…. But… Yes, but!Do you want something more? Believe it
or not, the KAVS Motorsport water Charge Air Cooler is the best cooling
system you can imagine for your beloved MINI. With your standard
intercooler the air is not cooled as much as it should be, and warmer air is r
eaching the engine. Stock intercoolers have been seen to reach over 100°C
on a hot day. Our engines function much, much better with cool air because
it is denser and this means that a greater mass of air can be sucked into the
engine allowing a more efficient and powerful combustion. If your air is too
hot, the ECU will retard your timing. So, with hotter air you are not only
getting less oxygen in the engine, but it also lowers your timing which
means significantly less power.
• Our system, unlike a few others, allows you to maintain the use of air
conditioning system!
• Our Motorsport water pump functions at 23 litres per minute – ensuring the
coolant fluid is at its coldest when passing through the Charge Air Cooler.
• 0% pressure drop. We use a modified factory Intercooler!
• Consistent results with track use: the KAVS Motorsport Mini Cooper S
maintains a 20°C difference compared to ambient temperatures.
