I am only following orders...

 

Ah, so.

 

440cc injectors aren't a bad idea when you're near or above 300 net crank HP. Most supercharged R53's that are putting low 200's at the wheel are nearby that 300 net cHP figure, it's just too bad that blower sucks up so much power!

 

Anybody want to buy my JCW 380cc injectors? Used for less then 500 miles

I hate that power robbing Eaton. Stupid blower.

Longboard

 

That is special for sure. But I'm wondering what mods did you have if any when you pulled 196?

 

Man that header is beautiful, it was like artwork when I saw it at the dragon! Good luck Sid! Car should be a monster! (not that it already isn't!)

 

problem is:

I haven't given any orders

 

great looking header and car, once again. I love seeing the developement of all the new RMW products.

 

There would only be a problem if you werent taking any.

 

true, getting enough parts together to keep up with the orders is hard enough. It's not like you build those collectors in a day.

 

Congrats Sid. Looking forward to seeing (and hearing) MSFITOY again when it's all in place.

 

With 12.5psi at the time she pulled 196whp, the mods were:

1-Webb CH
2-M7 AGS
3-Miltek header with cat
4-Modified Borla Race cat back
5-Single stage WAI
6-15% pulley + 2% crank
7-Modified M7 DFIC (Dr. Phil's external core vanes)
8-Free boost leak

The boost leak will be hunted down and shot...In the future, I will be using the following mods:

1-RMW +2 big valve ported CH (recently installed)
2-DDMWorks CAI
3-RMW header -cat
4-Modified Borla Race
5-Progressive WAI
6-RMW "Killer Cantalope" SC
7-Modified M7 DFIC

 

Looks cool Sid! Keep us informed.

 

I speculate to add that you may have eliminated the boost leak from the simple change of going from the AGS to the DDMWorks CAI; a leak, however small between the supercharger tube and the TB makes the car 'hunt' at idle, and lose power on the dyno, as you have seen. Usually, if the leak isn't at an intercooler boot, then it's probably somewhere near that green seal at the supercharger pipe.

I'm sure once you get all the new stuff on there you will have no boost problems and it will move like the devil on fire!

Cheers,

H

 

Contrats on the new header. It's almost too perdy to put on the car! But you're whole car is mighty perdy so it all fits!

Just wondering, are you still running the stock clutch? If so any plans for upgrade, if so to what?

Thanks!

PS. Look forward to your big numbers! I'm sure with all that stuff you're going to be pulling some big ones!

 

I have Spec stage 2 and Fidanza FW plus Quaife...should be ok for awhile...

 

excuse me for the ignorant question but what exactly are your mods #1 (webb CH) and #5 (single stage WAI) I'm not clear on the abbreviation and the mods.

 

Webb Cylinder Head and Water Alcohol (actually methanol) Injection...

 

It's a shame autoblog didn't get any pictures of the new header up on their front page along with the rest of the MSFITOY...

I saw the gold rotor hubs and thought hmm this is familiar. Congrats!

 

Hey...Thanks for the link...I didn't know I was captured...





I guy I was talking to was showing me his insane BMW project...Going to look him up in the future for my The Mother of all Mini Project...

 

I keep seeing something new about your car every time I look at it, where are those mirrors from??

Its a wicked looking car

 

How could you miss those Paul? Msfitoy was the first Mini in the US to have those CraftSquare CF mirror installed three years ago...

 

My buddy Chris' Imaculate DS Mini was captured in Autoblog too...

 

I found another one...aaarrrrggg....junk in my pockets again...:impatient

 

when I sat in Sid's car it felt like an aircraft cockpit, gadgets and switches everywhere. i think there are anti- tank cannons located somewhere in there
