Mini Cooper with Wagner Tuning Evolution Competition Intercooler

One of our customers, Eric Tye, recently purchased and installed a Wagner Tuning intercooler kit on his 2009 MINI Cooper S R59. The Wagner Tuning Competition Core Intercooler has the following core size: 550x110x90 / 550x210x50, 8745cm volume (Std 540x65x85mm, 2984cm volume). This kit provides your vehicle with a 220% larger frontal area compared to the OEM intercooler, along with 280% greater volume than the OEM charge air intercooler.

The Competition Core allows airflow to reach the adjacent components such as the water cooler. It is very lightweight, weighing in at just 11 lbs (5kg). The air collectors endtanks are made of cast aluminum and optimized under flow analyzes in CAD/FEA. The inlet and outlet were enlarged to 80mm and kit comes with matching Silicone adapter hoses. Optimum cooling of the charged air with significant performance increase.

Eric was kind enough to leave us a product review: “I have a 2009 Cooper S. A little bit of the front bumper needed to be modified, but well worth the effort. Feels like I just added 10 hp to the car.” Check out the additional information and photos below on the Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler.

Dinan Dual Core Intercooler Fitment and Stage 3 DinanTronics

Dinan has become almost like a household name among BMW enthusiasts. They have become well established as North America’s premiere BMW tuner. You can browse through our entire range of Dinan products here.

Dual Core Intercooler Bumper Fitment Update

Putting in more development time has allowed Dinan to further test a few bumper variants with additional versions being worked on in the coming weeks. The main variant that needed to be completed was the BMW 3-Series M-Tech bumper, which has now officially been confirmed for fitment. Please note, however, that this bumper sports a unique grille shape and size that differs from the rest of its counterparts. The shorter grille width exposes the outer fins and tanks of the Dinan dual core intercooler, resulting in a less than desirable appearance when viewed from the front.

Although a cosmetic kit, the Dinan intercooler fascia hardware kit (D333-0025) eliminates this visual flaw and transforms the intercooler installation on the affected models into purposeful and well-balanced sight that exudes quality and performance. This particular fascia kit costs $30 and is now available for purchase.

Stage 3 DinanTronics Performance Tuner Update

In addition to the fitments of the intercooler, Dinan was able to finalize the Stage 3 tune for the BMW F30 335i’s with mechanical wastegates, both with and without MPPK. A range of power figures for each of the configurations can be found in the charts below. These additional stages are already available to download from the servers.
