Intercooler

The Forge Motorsport FMINT7 is a high-performance intercooler upgrade engineered for the Mini JCW F56 Chassis and GP3 models equipped with the BMW B48 Engine (2014-on). As the preferred and official supplier of intercoolers to the Mini Challenge, Forge leverages extensive expertise to deliver a direct-fit solution that significantly enhances the performance potential of the 2.0 petrol turbo engine. This intercooler boasts a substantial 31% increase in frontal area and a 41% increase in volume compared to the stock unit, facilitating optimized airflow and more efficient cooling. It is capable of handling in excess of 400bhp while maintaining a minimal pressure drop of less than 1 PSI, leading to lower intake air temperatures and improved engine performance. The core features a bar and plate design, chosen after extensive testing for its superior internal and external airflow characteristics. The end tanks are constructed from cast aluminum, developed using 3D printed prototypes. The FMINT7 intercooler is designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in Great Britain and is backed by Forge Motorsport's lifetime warranty. Compatibility is primarily for the Mini JCW F56 Chassis (2014-on) and GP3 models with the B48 engine. While generally compatible with F54 Clubman all4 JCW (2018-on) and 2019-2020 F56 JCW Gen 3 models with B48D engines, it is advised to check specific vehicle compatibility and, in some cases, count the tubes on the OEM intercooler for verification. It is important to note that the appearance of the product may differ slightly from the advertisement due to Forge's continuous improvement policy. The intercooler is covered by a lifetime warranty, excluding brake pads and air filters, provided the original proof of purchase is supplied. Aggressive cleaning products should be avoided as they can damage the cooling system and invalidate the warranty.
