Hot Air Intake (HAI) on a Mini Cooper S R53 JCW John Cooper Works using a custom K&N RU-1550 Filter

[@DJpartymaker]

Hey! Cool, je hebt dit gewoon op youtube gezet. Vet zeg, ik had de thread op NAM forum gevonden en je post gezien. Voel je daadwerkelijk power gain? Heb je ook meer whine? Ik kan de k&n filter niet echt vinden online waar had je hem gekocht? Grotere BMW throttle body had je later gedaan zie ik, zou je aanraden die upgrade meteen te doen of eerst deze voor de lol ;) Sorry voor alle vragen bedankt voor je reply!

@@DJpartymakerHi en dank voor jouw berichtje! Daarom post ik dingen in de hoop iemand anders ermee te helpen die ook naar informatie op zoek is. K&N filter is volgens mij niet meer te verkrijgen. Ik zou je de grotere gasklep aanraden en daar een intake op te maken. De gasklep gaf me iets meer boost, wat een mooi resultaat is voor zo'n goedkope upgrade. De custom intake die ik had gemaakt kwam van AliExpress af en was relatief erg goedkoop en makkelijk te maken.

Hi bedankt voor je reply! Ah balen dat dit filter niet meer te verkrijgen is. Bij het monteren van een grotere gasklep, is er dan een tune nodig om de extra boost te verkrijgen of kan de ECU dat zelf herstellen? Moet er nog wat meer lezen op NAM Mvg

@@DJpartymaker Gasklep is nagenoeg 1:1 vervangen (heb alles beschreven op NAM). Geen tune nodig, monteren en rijden. Met een tune haal je er denk ik nog meer voordeel uit, maar het is niet perse nodig. De gasklep functioneert gewoon zeg maar.

Can I have your old JCW air box? I would love to downgrade to that in my car

[@NDPhotonl]

I sold the Mini a couple of years ago! I posted this just yet, because I didn't have the time earlier to process these videos. Good luck with searching for an alternative

1 - I assume this is click bait as you're just suckong hot air into the engine... 2 - unless you have an air diverter on your bonnet that fits around the intercooler, you have next to zero air flow through the intercooler rendering it pretty much useless.

[@NDPhotonl]

Nope, not clickbait. Please follow the link in the description for the data behind it. The Mini Cooper S has a hood scoop direct in front of the intercooler and air intake, in other words there is no shorter path from ambient air > air filter > throttle body and that is the idea behind it. The least restriction.

Nicht gut. Motor bekommt zuviel Warme Luft besser im Kasten lassen und die hintere Luft ansaugung vom Filter Kasten größer machen . LG

Check the results which were measured in the thread on MBWorld. Even though that also would be my first guess, the results are very interesting. If the car is moving the incoming air does not have a time to heat up extra in the engine bay (only by the supercharger), meaning the IAT can be the same as with a normal intake. When the car is stationary, then the incoming air has time to heat up extra before its sucked into the airfilter.

[@ryanclarke4448]

Yes would 100% only recommend when moving but for long periods that will be an issue. I have a k&n typhoon mounted into the back where the stock is with a cut out and it makes the supercharger very loud. Probably a better bet

[@NDPhotonl]

@@ryanclarke4448 Depends on your personal preferences. In the end I went with a bigger throttle body and created a custom intake with a big airfilter. Picture 1: flic.kr/p/2kPhRQt . Picture 2: flic.kr/p/2kHaM3W

I know that some people do have bad ideas about upgrades, but a trained monkey wouldn't do what is shown on this video. Why would you even post such junk. At least run it to the bottom part of the box so it's not right next to a big heat source. Then if you still want more air put a vent in the hood.

Please read the info in the description and follow the link. This has been investigated with data and feels counterintuitive, but again: follow the link in the description.

That is just dumb
