minimaniak water to air vs. Alta ver. 2.0===???? Anyone

 

Which MINI?

R53 or R56?

 

I hope he means R53 too. Either way I hope we can help him!

 

I have done header no cat one ball exhaust 3% crank pulley 17% Pulley and ecu so far... thanks

 

Nr 1 for me was a air to air front mounted cooler like the r56... Has anyone mounted the alta r56 cooler on a r53?

 

By the way i was thinking of bying the GP nr. 0196... Here in denmark is it expensive tho... Is it worth the ekstra? I have don full H&R mods and magnesium wheels on my standart r53.. here is a link to the car i was thinking of?

by the way 1 dollar is 5 danish kr. And is says listet new price is 595.000 DKK that is 119000 Dollars... Some times i hate my country

 

What is your high, low and avg temps in Denmark? I would think that excessive heat is not an issue for you.

 

I do not feel a GP is worth $120,000.

About intercoolers, the stock intercooler is fine in your environment.

 

Thats my feelings as well.

 

The R56 Mini gets much better mileage. That is something to consider in Europe where gas is so costly.

 

from my readings, (mostly maxicoopers input), i like the sounds of the GP intercooler.

 

what do you guys mean your inviroment... it gets hot here in sommer time as well... its not as humid i agree... what about the m7 cooler ver 1... someone just offerd that on a mail?

 

your environment compared to mine (Florida) - 9 months out of the year its 90 plus w/ 100% humidity.

The conclusions, I have drawn from NAM is that 1) the stock IC is very very good. 2) There are better ways to spend the money.
