Silver-finished Diverter Shown
|
This innovative Hood Scoop Air Diverter with Water Sprayer from ALTA Performance™ is a great performance enhancement for your Supercharged MINI Cooper. The stock hood scoop and plastic intercooler diverter does a reasonable job for the average MINI driver... but, the more serious, performance-minded enthusiast will appreciate this simple, inexpensive way to improve air flow and increase engine efficiency.
The ALTA powder coated diverter completely replaces your flimsy plastic factory unit. It is both taller and wider than the factory unit, forcing a larger volume of cool air over the intercooler surface. This increase in airflow will lower intake temperatures.
The ALTA Hood Scoop Air Diverter features a built in water sprayer for high temperature situations, where maximum cooling is desired. The sprayer jet features a dual spray pattern that, when activated, douses the front and rear sections of the intercooler with a high-pressure mist of water. As the water evaporates from the intercooler surface it will increase the efficiency of your intercooler. You can activate this while on the move or at a stop light for maximum horsepower.
Testing has shown consistent post-intercooler inlet air temperature reductions by 20 degrees with just the larger diverter. Enabling the water spray system reduces post intercooler inlet temperatures over 25 degrees! Expect even bigger results in high speed and hot weather conditions.
To add to the appearance of your new air diverter we include new intercooler hose couplers. Made from high temp silicone, these couplers will replace the small rubber hose connectors on either side if your intercooler.
