Forge Motorsport Uprated Intercooler for MINI Cooper S (R53)

Up to 29% Improved Cooling Efficiency | Track-Tested Design | Proven Performance Gains

Product Description:

First unveiled at Autosport International 2005, the Forge Motorsport Uprated Intercooler for the MINI Cooper S R53 has been engineered through a meticulous development program involving real-world and dyno testing across a range of performance setups.

The development process compared multiple configurations, including both air-to-air and air-to-water chargecooling solutions. After extensive data collection, the air-to-air option proved to deliver significantly superior temperature reduction, making it the optimal choice for consistent performance gains.

Tested across multiple tuning stages — with and without performance remaps, smaller supercharger pulleys, aftermarket intakes, and bonnet scoops — this intercooler has proven itself to be a must-have upgrade for MINI enthusiasts looking to maximise engine power while ensuring intake temps remain low.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement for factory intercooler

• Up to 29% reduction in intake temperatures vs. OEM

• Optimised for both stock and modified engines

• Air-to-air core design for consistent, reliable cooling

• Durable all-aluminium construction

• Designed and tested in the UK by Forge Motorsport

Whether you're running a standard MINI Cooper S or a heavily modified track car, this intercooler upgrade ensures more stable intake temps, better performance under load, and improved reliability.
