Description:
|
Our unit uses a modified factory intercooler which ensures 0% pressure drop, trouble free fit, low cost and no interference with any other engine components. Water flows in from the top and flows through the intercooler exiting at the bottom. The coolant fluid then is pumped at high speed with our 8 gpm water pump into the front mount radiator. At this point the water makes 3 passes through the radiator before it exits and returns back to the top of the intercooler. Passing the water through the radiator 3 times ensures that most of the heat been removed allowing the cool water to enter the intercooler and reduces intake temperatures dramatically. Other kits on the market use poorly designed radiators to cool the water, some even use the Automatic transmission cooler from the standard MINI. These radiators are simple cross flow designs, small and inefficient and meant to flow transmission fluid. When it comes to cooling the water flowing through the system they simply cannot cool the water fast enough and do not have the necessary volume to maintain cool temperatures under constant use.
In repeated track testing our MINI Cooper Water to air intercooler maintained a 40 degree temperature difference vs ambient temperature. These tests were performed on a Stage 4 modified MINI Cooper S running 5, 30minute track sessions. Speeds in excess of 130mph were consistently reached with no increase from lap to lap as the day grew hotter.

The WAIC is awesome. I got it about a year ago with the intercooler temp monitor too. It gave me about 18 whp and at least 15 lbs/ft. The kit is not too hard to install. All of the mounting points and wiring were easy to find and fit right up. If you want more power without having to crack open the engine, I highly recommend this to you. Any more questions about it just pm me.
