there is a crazy Mini (older model) that goes to the carshow everyweek here in Ottawa. the hood is all cut up with vents, little VHS sized intercooler, turbo the size of a grapefruit, a few body mods, interior done to the 9's.......sorry I don't have any figures for you......but it's proof that anything can be made with $$$

I'm alittle confused... isnt the cooper S supercharged? So they removed the supercharger and are custom fabricating a turbo?

Or am i wrong all together?

[johnnyb]

yes the Cooper S is supercharged. If a custom turbo is being fabricated just think you already have an intercooler in the car so you dont need to custom fit one.

My only question is why is the supercharger being replaced with turbo?

[cjthor]

U do need to custom make one. The intercooler on the S is built on top of the supercharger.

They replaced it because they now can get 25psi on a turbo. Pretty neat eh??

[johnnyb]

whats the stock psi on the supercharger?

[papa roached]

a turbo is more efficient than a super

[cjthor]

stock psi is 11.6psi at 5500rpm

yeah but a super gives you more torque... something the mini can use.

thats quite the boost in pressure from stock. Sounds like a cool project. If you hear anything more about it like hp gains when its finished keep us informed

[papa roached]

might give ya more trq, but at 25 psi i dont think it matters
