Introducing the TPE Precision Airbox Kit — The Ultimate R53 Cold Air Intake

R53 owners know the struggle: heat-soaked intakes, hot engine bays, and “performance” kits that sound good but deliver nothing.
This changes now.

A True Performance Intake — Not Just Another Noisy Cone

The TPE Precision Airbox Kit is a ground-up re-engineering of the R53 intake system. Designed for MINI enthusiasts who want real power, real engineering, and the wild supercharger scream the R53 deserves.

The Airbox: Engineered, Not Guess-Built

• Massive 85mm internal diameter for serious airflow

• Integrated battery support for clean OEM-plus fitment

• Smart back-panel design that increases internal volume and amplifies intake sound

• High-quality, high-flow filter included

This isn’t just bigger — it’s smarter. By strategically pulling air from the back panel, the system feeds the filter with additional cold air while increasing resonant volume for that addictive R53 roar.

The Intake Hose: The Missing Piece Everyone Else Ignores

Most aftermarket hoses collapse, choke the flow, or cause turbulence.
Ours doesn’t.

• 85mm at the airbox, tapering smoothly to 61mm at the throttle body

• OEM-style step design for optimal laminar flow

• Tapered geometry accelerates airflow for sharper throttle response

• Reinforced silicone construction — zero collapse, zero restriction, zero compromise

If the hose isn’t right, the intake won’t perform. So we made it right.

Why It Works — And Why It Beats Metal “Heat Shields” Every Time

R53 MINIs already fight high intake temps. Putting a cone filter in the hot engine bay (or wrapping it in a metal heat sink) only makes things worse.

That’s why we manufacture our airboxes from advanced plastics — not heat-soaking metal.
Plastics don’t store heat. Metal does.

The result:
Cold air in. Hot air out. Power up.

Your filter gets cold air from two sources:

1. The OEM lower airbox opening

2. Our engineered back-panel feed

Proven Gains — Same Day, Same Tune, Same Conditions

No tricks. No weather changes. No timing bumps.
Just a straight swap: OEM box → TPE Precision Airbox Kit.

• +14 WHP

• +1.5 kg·m torque

• Power gains across the entire rev range

• Supercharger scream unmuffled to 7000 RPM

Repeatable. Consistent. Real.

For Enthusiasts Who Want the Best — Not the Loudest (Though It Is the Loudest)

This is the only intake that gives you:

• Cold air

• Real horsepower

• Proper thermal isolation

• OEM-plus fitment

• The most intoxicating R53 soundtrack ever made

Plug-and-play installation. Zero tuning required.

If You Love Your R53, This Is the Intake It Should Have Come With.
