engine work will depends on how many I get :rick:

they are cheaper than the new MINIs but they aren't that cheap :sad:

but I would think a T3 would be wayyyyyyy tooooo big for a 1275cc engine :rick:

 

Ooooooo :love: pretttty.

 

Alright.. so let me get this straight....

Supercharger...
Duel Exhaust
Bored head? (Not sure on that one)

 

my boss wants to get the JCW, but his wife wont let him. aleast, not yet. he can afford it though.

 

dual exhaust is standard as well but this one is not as restricted. same with the supercharger, this one has higher flow/psi
and i believe the head is bored for more flow capacity

and new ecu programming to take advantage of the increased flow

There's a few more things but those are the big ones.

 

Cool. Didn't know the mini came supercharged.

 

hehehehe :whipped:

it is expensive for only 40hp or so ~4K for the kit plus installation.

other aftermarket tuners have shown they can get similar gains for about half the price.

however, the JCW kit has so much more potential with the better flowing s/c and the new heads that I think it's worth the money...

too bad I don't have the money to get the car :doh:

 

yeah, and keeping the warantee is a big big plus.

 

Hmmm. I see.

I'd think so. Labor is expensive; it sounded like a lot of work goes into the cars prior to sale, since they essentially are built to order.

Again, I agree. Unless one was dealing with a really small exhaust turbine....a standard T3 or TDOH-16 would be one laggy mofo. :thinking:

Granted, it's been nearly eight years since I saw the ad in a Brit classic car mag. In reality, a better turbo is probably a weed-whacker K03 or somesuch. :doh:

Still, it'd be interesting. :rick:

 

the cooper s does.
