Mini Cooper S R55/R56/R57/R58/R59/R60/R61 Performance Intercooler

Description

Motorsport Intercooler Kit for MINI Cooper S (R55–R61)
Up to +190% volume increase — plug-and-play installation

1) Why choose our intercooler?

Massive performance upgrade
With an oversized core measuring 550 mm × 210 mm × 110 mm (stepped design, 12.70 L volume), this intercooler delivers an impressive +230% larger flow area and +190% greater charge-air volume versus the stock unit. This means significantly increased airflow supply to the engine, resulting in noticeably stronger performance and acceleration.

Ultra-low backpressure & optimized airflow
The motorsport-grade high-performance core ensures sufficient airflow to surrounding components such as the radiator. The free-form cast aluminum end tanks, developed in a CAD system, optimize internal flow paths and significantly reduce backpressure—helping the engine breathe easier and unlock its full power potential.

2) Heavy-duty engineering for reliability in extreme conditions

Designed around “more cooling + durability” for demanding use:

• One-piece all-aluminum construction: Pure aluminum with continuous welding for higher strength, built to withstand long-term high heat and boost pressure while minimizing leak risk.
• Optimized for OEM mounting location: Direct bolt-on design with no cutting or drilling required.
• Strict validation: As part of the Trimpex performance line, every intercooler undergoes continuous, high-intensity testing from low temperatures to extreme heat—ensuring stable cooling and reliability with no compromises.

3) Not just for heavily modified cars — stock vehicles benefit too

Many assume an intercooler upgrade is only necessary after major engine modifications. In reality, OEM intercoolers can be insufficient in many real-world scenarios and may struggle to control heat consistently, reducing actual output below factory-rated performance.

This Trimpex intercooler stabilizes intake temperatures—whether commuting or spirited driving—so the engine can consistently deliver full performance.
