Pipercross F56 Mini Cooper S/JCW Intake Resonator Delete PipeThe Pipercross Rear Intake Pipe has been designed and engineered to directly replace the OEM BMW/Mini pipe on the F56 2.0T (B48) engines. KEY FEATURES Powder coated, CNC mandrel-bent rear aluminium pipe assembly Consistent, larger internal diameter that eliminates resonator section CNC-machined vacuum fittings and outlet connector Flow tested to confirm 81.88% maximum, 69.97% average airflow restriction decrease vs. full OE Up to +6.7 WHP/+11.4 Nm WTQ maximum power gain (Software dependant) OEM PART ASSESSMENTThe OEM rear intake pipe found on the F56 2.0T (B48) Mini vehicles features typical OE intake plumbing hallmarks (moulded composite construction and an integrated sound suppression device) that reduce OE part unit costs and broaden the market appeal of the high-volume F56 Mini platform. While these aspects serve the OE Mini platform well in original trim, they also present opportunities to enhance both the sound and performance of the F56 engines, via a replacement performance part. REAR INTAKE PIPEThe Pipercross F56 Mini rear intake pipe compliments the benefits offered by Pipercross’ AirMax Lid Intake kit (as well as other intake kits); elevating the performance of F56 intake kits to the next level. The Pipercross part accomplishes this by wholly replacing the OE composite turbocharger inlet pipe, drastically increasing airflow capability via the elimination of the OE split-chamber sound suppression system. The Pipercross assembly is constructed of larger 76mm (vs. 70mm OE) outer diameter aluminium tubing, offering even more airflow capability increases from this modest size increase. This aluminium tubing is CNC-mandrel-bent for a consistent cross-sectional inner diameter throughout (vs. welded sections that can create flow-destabilizing internal swarf areas). To guarantee OE-tier sealing of relevant OE components, both Pipercross vacuum connectors and the turbocharger inlet connector were designed and located utilising Pipercross’ in-house 3D scanner, then CNC-machined from aluminium rounds to rigorous dimensional/finish standards. DETAILSThe subtle details of the Pipercross F56 Rear Intake Pipe are what elevate it to the level of a premium product. The Pipercross part features an integrated mounting bracket, dampened by a thick rubber mount, eliminating the potential of part failure due to long-term weld/tubing fatigue loading. The same mounting bracket design/placement was extracted from 3D scan data; to mirror OE pipe mounting angles and clearances exactly. Each Pipercross part is powder coated to similarly stringent specifications, for additional corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal without any internal bore/boss overcoating (and OE component fitment issues associated with boss/bore overcoating). RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTAll Pipercross products are designed in-house, utilising the latest 3D-printing, 3D-scanning, CAD, CFD, airflow testing and performance testing product development technologies. Multiple stages of testing were conducted within Pipercross’ engineering department, to gauge the effectiveness and shortcomings of the OEM system, while confirming the increased performance of various iterations and stages of the Pipercross F56 intake options. Bench airflow testing was conducted on the full OEM intake system and multiple Pipercross prototype intake design iterations/configurations, using Pipercross’ in-house, custom designed and built airflow test apparatus inside a controlled environment. Performance testing of the OEM intake and Pipercross intake configurations was completed at a third party, independent, environmentally regulated dynamometer cell to ensure unbiased, final performance gain data was captured. AIRFLOW TESTING DATAFour intake configurations were tested on Pipercross’ in-house, custom built stationary airflow test apparatus. To develop an initial performance benchmark, the full OE intake system (complete OE airbox plus OE air filter, OE outlet hose and OE rear intake pipe) was flow tested to a maximum CFM value. The Pipercross Plus filter and Pipercross rear intake pipe assembly were then installed in the OE system, to gauge the resulting airflow increase from eliminating the OE resonance chamber (in concert with the Plus filter). The Pipercross lid, Plus filter and intake hose were then tested with the OE rear intake pipe – to quantify Pipercross AirMax Lid Kit. Finally, the full AirMax intake system (installed on the OE lower airbox) was tested to gauge the effectiveness of the complete AirMax system working in harmony. We have also been informed that this fits the 306bhp JCW.
