2007-2010 Mini Cooper R56 NM Engineering Hi-Flow Induction Kit Carbon - NM.658856C
NM Engineering introduces the complete intake system for the
turbocharged model MINI Cooper S. Unlike some competitors, NM’s intake
features an integrated larger turbo inlet tube. The stainless brackets,
hardwares and silicone couplings were all designed, engineered and
manufactured to fit and perform.
The 'Open-Air-Box' system gives you the abundance and unrestricted 360°
of air source compared to OEM's sealed air box with flat filter and
tube fed air source. During R&D, we installed temperature probes
around the engine compartment and the gauge showed the inside
temperature matched the ambient after vehicle sped past 20 mph. And by
logging the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor also showed that open-air-box
intake generated higher volume (gr/sec) of air going through the sensor.
So when we had to choose between (a) cooler air at all speed with
limited air source, vs. (b) cooler air at 20~ mph. with unlimited air
source, the choice was pretty obvious.
The blue and black tube kits feature CNC mandrel bent aluminum pipe and
finished with durable textured powder coat. The other option is Carbon
Fiber tubing which features 100% carbon fiber composite material to be
lightweight and for great appearance. Utilizing vacuum bag manufacturing
method produces a part that has consistent wall thickness, while
avoiding excessive resin build-up.
This kit fits MCS (US models 2007~2010) and JCW (US + worldwide 2009~2011) vehicles.
