Helix is the proud innovator of the world's first MINI Cooper Stepped-Core Intercooler (SCIC). The Helix SCIC has a bigger frontal ambient face and a thicker-than-stock core that seals to the radiator fan/shroud. Also, the cast endtanks have factory charge pipe angles. Unlike stepped-core copies that have surfaced, the Helix SCIC features cast endtanks and bull-nosed bars on the ambient face for reduced turbulence. These special features increase air flow across the face of the intercooler and reduce pressure drop through the core. The core of the Helix SCIC has increased fin density and flows 250 horsepower with only a 0.5PSI pressure drop. The abundance of fins also reduce heat soak. Installation is relatively straight forward and requires no cutting, drilling or permanent modifications to your MINI. For comparisons, view the graphs to the left showing the results from the data-logging of our stock R56. The only non-stock part in the graphed R56 is the Helix Intercooler. The graphs compare intake manifold temperatures between the stock intercooler and the Helix Intercooler data-logged on the street in similar conditions
