Thanks again brother, this video happened because of YOU!

A properly installed CAI adds about 7-10 hp to the MINI R50, which is significant. That's why everyone who upgrades their MINI has one. The CAI needs to have a box to separate the filter from the rest of the engine, though (like the DDM CAI). Now, anyone who owns a MINI with an automatic transmission, that's another matter entirely, and these guys don't know what they're talking about.

​@@honestreviewer3283what does the transmission have to do with the cai?

@@codyrebelcb Nothing, and I didn't say it did. What I said is that an automatic transmission misses the point of a MINI (or any driver's car).

Not the case dynoed my 03 1.6 cooper with similar intake & k&n panel filer the open intake was 2bhp more and temperature was exact same after 4 pulls each time mine also has upgraded plugs and full exhaust which means can't hear intake as much now 😢

What’s heat soak ?

Unsure of the name but I remember it was advertised in red and the color had to be selected, so when you're checking them out look for the color selection box.. amazon btw.

It’s that simple respectfully disagreeing need more of that in the car community

They sell them on ebay different colors, as for the heat soak the factory cold air feed is still there ..

ebay sell them..

I'd like to find something nice to dress it up a bit rather than just OEM replacement.. but yes they will be due for change soon... Just realized this was the intake video not the coolant one lmao! You're right tho

Thanks for taking the time to view and comment. You may want to rewatch tho as the part was sponsored and I did state that in the video.. as well check some of my other cooper videos.. I did an update talking about how it actually did help performance and efficiency. Thanks again for watching!

Andrew, keep in mind as on the mini coopers, the engines and compu brains of the car are perfectly in sync and by adding an air intake, it will actually make your engine light come on and as I understand it the engine will not be as efficient. I believe the Air Intake Systems are best for the carbureted cars!

@@hechavarria100 Adding a cone filter will not bring the engine light on, as the engine is only sucking in the air it requires, the lambda sensor will richen the fuel mixture accordingly, if the engine has a maf sensor that will measure the air and adapt the fuel / air ratio accordingly. The only time it becoming less efficient is when the filters get dirty, as for carbs yes old skool tuning method, but they require adjustment to see performance gains as the carbs don't self adjust like electronic fuel injection. And some carbs may require new bigger jets !!!

LMAO 4o years old, Craig says thank you as he is a bit older that that. Funny to hear them hand gestures referred to as "Gang" stuff, lol have a good one!

@@RandomAndrew haha i even thought he would be younger than 4o😯
