I just picked up issue 2 of GOMINI. In the magazine is an article on MINISPEEDS Cooper S, on it is a front mounted intercooler that looks like the one Randy Webb was talking about!!! Is this coming out soon? They state it is from MINISPEED and Owen Developments. There is also a small article on Dminiero

 

Ohhh!! Is there any online articles about this??
Somebody needs to develop a relocation kit for the stock IC, and move it to the upper front grille. I'd do it if I had the tools.

 

I've test driven the Minispeed demo car with this front mounted intercooler last month. Indeed, it looks pretty much the same as what Randy's developing. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the piping at that time so I only managed get about 10psi of boost at max. I was told that they've abandoned the design because it's too costly and instead they'll be releasing a large top mounted kit that's just as good.

I suspect that the performance of the AC will be much reduced too with the IC right in front of the AC condensor.
