Hi guys,
I open this topic in order to discuss all available right now induction kits for the R56 cooper s.

Here is what I have found until now...

1) Alta Mini Performance

2) panel filter of Alta or KN, or ITG once again with the inlet tube.

3) Forge Motorsport

4) K&N

popey · Jan 10th, 2008, 12:29 PM

I think that K&N is a universal filter its not made for the Cooper S.

minichara · Jan 10th, 2008, 02:31 PM

One way or an other, it is an induction kit that can fit to mini.
It is already one built for cooper.
So, let's discuss about the efficiency of these items...

They look impressive but any information on whether they increase performance ??

Lawrothegreat · Jan 10th, 2008, 11:20 PM

or whether they decrease performance?!

No effect what so ever !

Did a test a few years ago, on 2 NA engines and 1 Turbo diesel
You can see the results here :

I know its in danish, but HK = BHP and Nm is the torque so you should be able to see the difference !

I would like to ask if anyone has installed an induction kit and after that dyno his car.
If yes, the results would be very useful...

Has anyone fitted the Forge Induction Kit to there R56 Cooper S yet ?
Been offered one , and wondered what they sounded like ? And ease of fitting?

robble · Jan 14th, 2008, 09:52 PM

With the Alta one you will hear the intake sucking air and the recirc valve blowing off. I don't think you would hear that with the others since they are "closed" solutions.

We will be fitting a Forge one to a customers car this week, i will get some more pictures and maybe a video up - will also see what difference it makes with the performance and will report back! There might be a GB on the Forge ones

Yes, that would be good to see what gains this could offer. Im keeping options open before buying one.

minichara · Mar 19th, 2008, 12:41 PM

Here is my home made induction kit.
The scoop has been removed, the sound is awesome and the performance gains very noticeable...

Jorge_A · Mar 20th, 2008, 04:42 AM

okay i have tried googling it and texting friends who know much more about cars than I (they didnt respond) and I have to know...is there any difference between an Induction Kit and a Cold Air Intake? I mean for God's sake it wasnt on wikipedia! lol anyhow just want to make sure that the Forge Induction Kit is equivalent to a Cold Air Intake and even more so efficient since it links up to the intercooler
