At Autosport 2005 Forge was proud to release its uprated Intercooler for the BMW Mini Cooper S. After a comprehensive development program involving thorough testing in various environments Forge is convinced that you will not find a superior Intercooler for this application. Forge's development program included the use of many types of Intercooler core and end tank designs. At the initial stages they ran two development projects alongside each other, one an air to air Intercooler and the other an air to water Chargecooler system. The air to air development achieved significantly improved temperature reductions in comparison, which convinced them to solely concentrate on this option. At each stage of development testing was conducted using a vehicle in various states of tune. (With and without, performance software, supercharger reduction pulleys, bonnet scoops and performance air intake systems.)  The figures and graphs displayed here are from the latest Rolling Road testing. Forge is aware that this is not the best method of testing an Intercooler as the temperatures and velocities will vary substantially on the ‘open road’. However for the purely comparative purposes where repeatability of conditions is paramount, this result data is ideal. The data displayed was taken when the vehicle was equipped with a stock ECU and air intake but with a 15% reduction supercharger pulley installed to increase the charge air pressure (boost), putting greater demand on the intake air to air cooling system used. The pressure drop across this air to air Intercooler is almost zero due to the high flow characteristics of the core design. With this Intercooler offering up to a 29% reduction over the original equipment it is a must for those wishing to increase engine power.
