MINI R56 Turbo Intake System
ALTA Cold Air Intake SystemALTA Performance, again set the bar high for the competition! The ALTA R56 Cold Air Intake not only adds proven 10WHP and 10ft-lbs of torque to your 2007+ Mini Cooper S, but it also unlocks the sound from your turbo! With our intake not only will you hear the turbo sucking in and compressing the air, but you will hear the OEM blow off valve blowing off. |

Silicone Intake HosesOur 5ply Silicone Elbow is rated for 200psi, and 400 degrees. Like other ALTA products this part is over built to ensure a life time of use. This is one of the key features to our intake as the bend provides the proper MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor reading and ensures no Check Engine Lights. |
|
Aluminum Intake BoxThe ALTA R56 air box was designed around light weight aluminum. This provides a stiff, strong, and corrosion proof shroud for the ALTA high flow foam filter. A black wrinkle finish powder coat is applied to keep things looking clean and finished for the life of the car. |
|
High Flow Foam FilterIncluded with all ALTA intake is a high flow, reusable foam filter. Our sleek black, 2 piece design makes for easy cleaning of your filter. We have always trusted foam to provide our customers with the highest flow and best ability to keep dirt out of your engine! Many ask us why not a "K&N Style" filter? The quick answer is foam flows much better when dirty. The long answer can be found HERE |
|
Cold Air IntakeOur intake is designed to remove the OEM hood scoop plug/screen. During initial testing we found removing this provides consistent ambient temps to the filter. While it's not a traditional "Cold Air Intake" where the filter is located in a fender well, the ALTA intake is just as good as it still gets great constant ambient cold air. This is just one of the reasons why or intake has dyno proven HP! |
No Check Engine Lights
When dealing with MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensors, small changes to turbulence in the intake system, can make huge changes to how the car runs. Because we are familiar with this problem on other cars, great care was taken to eliminate any turbulence issues that might throw a CEL, or make the car run too lean or rich. We can say for a fact that our intake replicates the stock MAF curve almost perfectly!

Cold Air Intake Test on JCW w/ALTA FMICThis test is done on the same JCW as the other test, but this car had an ALTA Intercooler installed before hand. The only difference between the two runs is we added the ALTA Cold Air intake. You can see that you gain about 5-9WHP at the higher RPMs with this installed. |
