Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад

Automatic ?

@@georgeg3897 Tenks wow Sorry, where can you buy it? I have a 2006 R53 S. thank you very much for your help all the best James
Sorry Eby ok tnks
too bad you didnt show the car running after the update .... my guess is that a thicker wider intercooler make less perfomance since a superchager worker better with higher air flow and i bet your update is also making the winning sound less loud . overall its a bad upgrade to do ... no offense
What do you base your theory on please ?
hey george did you get it from ebay?
Yes
not works its fake mann let my show how you montatge mann , no posible ths intercooleer its not for ths mini@@georgeg3897
Did you ever have to mess around with the hood scoop?
I removed the entire assembly that was bolted under the hood scoop. Made my own air diverter with stick on foam straps on the IC. Got to be at the right height to stop air leaking
@@georgeg3897 would love to see a video of the design.
@@georgeg3897 I too would love to see a video or pic of what you have done? About to do same thing and have read numerous people removing the bonnet mounted air diverter removed for better cooling. Thanks
how much did you torque the intercooler brackets_
Did by hand and then slightly tightened up with a socket wrench. Checked again after 2 weeks of driving and still solid. Now over a year . Still tight and did not have to re tighten .
I would not recommend to over torque it
Fucking shit man that freaking noise u keep doing with ur mouth it's fucking annoying
Explain please as not sure what your referencing ?
Good stuff.
Link to buy?
Here you go: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ramair-Jet-Stream-Induction-Kit-for-Mini-Cooper-S-1-6-R53-/133445663641?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Shop around though as you may find it cheaper. They seem to average about the £140 area .
@@georgeg3897 thanks already built it in but very disappointing because in other videos there was a loud whine sound but in my r52 there is nothing coming out do you know why?
@@berkannaz4157 hi. Is your R52 supercharged?
@@georgeg3897 it has a compressor
1.6l compressor
Where did you get your intercooler? I have purchased two with nothing but problems so I sent them back after they didn’t fit
what fitting problems did you experience. ?
@@georgeg3897 first intercooler I bought they welded the tabs upside down so I couldn’t screw it down, second intercooler I purchased didn’t fit correctly, they would hit the spark plug wires / boots and wouldn’t sit down enough to be level with the super charger horns
@@waterlover sorry to hear that. I purchased from the below link. The only sligh issue I had, was that the inlet was very slightly small, so there was a slight gap when you slipped on the rubber boot. Wasn't a good seal. Packed this with some silicon tape and made a very good seal after that. Clearance between spark plug leads is tight but it does clear them. However, I am running bespoke uprated HT leads , so don't know if they sit slightly lower .

@@georgeg3897 I think your sparks fit lower mine have a square type base before the actual wire, mine are NGK wires so they have a huge base before the wire. Might have to trim the rubber in the base part so they can bend a tad bit more. I’ll be getting a new intercooler hopefully by end of next week see if I can finally get a good product. The last intercooler I just sent was all painted but the paint quality was horrible so I sent it back, emailed the seller and asked for a refund since his post showed a polished intercooler and got a nasty painted used one.
So how did it perform?
Seems to be slightly more torquey in the higher gears and the throttle response is better. Have an open neck air filter and bigger bore free flowing exhaust which has improved the drive tremendously
Well done video considering you could only use one hand----I'm not sure how well that intake isolates the cold air but this vid will help when I modify the stock box with a large tube to the windshield area. I have a 2004 JCW that I love and wish you well with yours.
Many thanks Bill. As a next mod, I'm looking at sealing in and enclosing the Ramair box to see what improvements are made with airflow and heat soak. I'm sure it will make a difference . I have an Ultragauge installed , so will have a play about with the settings/menus to see what readings can be taken. Watch this space. Good luck with your air box mod.
Any links to the intercooler?
