Unfortunately, no! Sorry! Thanks for asking!

 

Thanks for the question! I guess the simple answer is, if it ain't broke don't fix it. The spool and flow rates are such that a new manifold is unnecessary and would only add cost and hassle. However, I would never rule out any form of future product development. Thanks again!

 

We did have water on the car for those runs. However, we were able to run closer to the ragged edge without it. WE would suggest it if you want to be in that range.

With that being said, we are also going to be trying one other compressor housing to see what happens there. We will of course publish the info when it is available!

Thanks again!

 

My complete apologies. I do answer every e-mail I receive. I will say that I may not be the best at combing my junk folder and sometimes things can end up in there.

To answer the question honestly, we don't know. I don't have an EU spec car to play with. However, we understand the importance of the EU market and will certainly make every effort to investigate the feasibility ASAP.

Thanks again!

 

Reply to what? E-mail, phone, PM? Sorry if I missed something! It would never be intentional. Also, sales@, info@, etc. are all answered by other members of my staff. If you want me then e-mail me directly:

adam.taft@altaminiperformance.com

if that bounces try this one

adam.taft@perrinperformance.com

Thanks again!

 

HEY I remember this one! The info we had is either no good, or the server on your end keeps bumping it back.

WE WANT YOUR MONEY! Hell I want everyones money

As a blanket statement, if you don't get a reply (excluding weekends) within 24 hours, PM me here. At least we don't have to worry about spam filters, and server rejections.

As a side note, I have a wholesale client in Swiss, that I have to use PM on another forum board. His local server / internet host rejects not only AIM, Yahoo and our e-mails. Stinks but can happen.

Again my apologies, PM me and I will get back to you ASAP! Chat then!

 

OUCH! I don't think that is fair to me or my staff. Sounds like an honest error someplace. Hope I can help you though soon!

 

....blushes..... THANKS!

 

Beyond that I enjoyed the call! Your hubby was very nice (albeit a bit surprised!)

 

lol he is very nice! its ok it was 1 am our time and we know there is a three hour time difference. either way we are in our early 20's so he was awake lol. he actually came into the room and woke me up all excited telling me how "wonderful Adam and everyone at alta is because they actually called to help him on off business hours". we love to do business with you guys because you are always helpful.

 

Thanks Adam for replying back. I was abet lost when you didn't replyed to my posts or emails. I want that turbo kit badly. I'll take my chances and order the kit and see if it will work on my car or not. I'll PM you my contacts so you can add me to you're list

 

too funny! Anytime! Chat soon!

 

Perfect! I got your PM's passed them along to the CSR's and we should be back in business ASAP! Thanks again!

 

Enough about customer service....When is this badboy coming out?!?!?!

 

Ok, so last price estimate was 2 - 3 grand, plus supporting mods.

Where are we in the process?

2 - 3 grand plus x = X,XXX

or what supporting mods should I be looking at?

 

Supporting mods would be an assortment of gauges to monitor everything, boost and afr controllers, forged pistons, LSD, etc...just to get the list started.
I'm sure Alta and others can give you more specifics as I do not know as much about the R56...Hope that helps some

2k-3k + ~500-3k = 2.5k-6k...just a VERY wide estimate...depends on what you want

 

I am with you on that math. This is what I am trying to estimate. The obvious answer brings me to around 10 or 12 K pretty fast. That is doing a sane and well designed path. My biggest issue is the components do not seem to exist yet like a decent gear box, half shafts, clutch pack, etc. I think I am going to stay sane for a while, just ecu, as well as easy bolt-ons.

 

Yup, it seems like the needed parts to make this work as well as R53 turbos are not made yet...should not take long for someone to make them for the R56....

 

The parts are available for the R53 it's just a matter of if you want to pay the price. I spoke with a rep from Alta at AMVIV and he said you can run their R56 Turbo upgrade on a stock clutch. I have a hard time believing a stock clutch will last very long with 260whp, but I guess we will see. He also said that the demand for this from R56 owners was not strong enough for them to focus their attention on this project at this time. It was really cool to see the car up close though!!!

 

I do not disagree, I have run some pretty serious power through stock components on a few toys over the years. I actually got pretty impressive life out of a stock 86 VW clutch. It definitly can be done, the Cooper parts are pretty well built, excellent design, really should be able to take a lot more abuse.

However, reliability and a strong desire not to have my chops busted from calling a favor to get flat bedded home make me seriously more cautious these days. Heck I'm getting my nuts busted pretty badly for playing with Mini, why add fuel to that fire. This little go cart is pretty cool, with the right modifications ( apparently a lot of money ) it could be a pretty impressive joy ride.

 

I am basing my assumption about the R56 on R53 owners out there that have 260 whp and are using (mostly) aftermarket, stronger clutches. I am assuming the same will be true for r56 owners, that soon they will need stronger cluthces. The car still hasn't been out for very long, so I am sure there is still alot to come.

 

I know the R53 parts are out there. I am in the middle of getting the parts myself. I made my statement for the R56...that its parts were not available yet...R56: clutches, pistons, heads, ect...

 

Its all good, I just mis-understood what you wrote. Goodluck with your parts!!!

 

No problem...it happens to all of us

So far so good, just moving slowly

 

Might have to trade my R53 for a R56!
Some very nice numbers!
