Can't see the NACA duct in the hood so I figure he's ducted the original IC scoop down to the blower.

Ver nice.

 

Replaced the overflow with racing bits? Looks like overflow on the right, the can on the left almost looks like a dry sump catch. The blow-off valve is the little "coned" thingy just behind the "MINI" logo on the valve cover. I have a feeling that intake track and MSD coil were sold for use on a Dodge Neon... something I've suspected to be interchangeable for a while. The wheels are 18" 5zigen. The breather filter on the valve cover is a nice touch. I like.

 

Aha, I knew it!!! He's using a GReddy E-manage to make it all work together. Man, that is some ingenuity on his part, very nice work. I really wish I could see the exhaust manifold and the position of the turbo and also where the damn thing sucks air from. The intake plenum appears to be off of a naturally aspirated MC??? Damn, this guy did some nice work......used a bunch of money parts too, looks like a good $8,000 investment.

 

AUDIOBAHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

PS

Think we'll ever get the update when it blows up?

 

It looks like a waste of $ either end you look at.

 

nothing wrong with audiobahn equipment
a buddy of mine was sponsored by them, free amps, and subs

 

Sure, nothing wrong with free stuff... but they are still --->

 

....and then, quite suddently, a perfectly good thread was ruined...

 

CHITOWN, agreed. What happened to a perfectly good discussion about what appears to be an awesome/innovative car for the MC community?

So now it's hijacking? I think it's an awesome setup! Kudos to that guy!

Commenting on the Audio in the photo.....

Amazing.

I already posted my regards on what looks like a waste of $ on either end.

There are less expensive ways to boost that MCS


I do admire the hard R&D involved in figuring out how to fit it all in there.
I do admire the "go ahead and do it" assertiveness of this.

At least someone is doing it.

But I do think however, there are less expensive routes to achieve this.


I would like to see his failure list. to view the history of the build, what worked and how, what didn't and why.

etc

Please elaborate.

well then why don't you find out who he is and how to get in contact with him (already mentioned in this thread) and ask him all these things if you're so curious rather than talking ***** about his setup?

 

Personally I dont like the look of that audio either. It's just the first thing that came to mind when I was reading. Public forum :smile: :smile: :smile:

public forum for ya... :smile: :smile:

I don't see THAT happening in the near future, at least not from him...

 

The intake is marked "ACO or "ATCO" in yellow and is visible in one of the first groups of pictures. Its located in the cowl area, right below the windshield, on the passenger side.

As someone who has gone through the development stages of some very difficult turbo systems to fabricate and make work, I say two thumbs up and a hats off to whoever designed and fabbed this system.

The workmanship is top notch.

I could care less if hes had failures. Thats part of the process. Anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or they simply have no clue.

I love seeing talented, innovative people push the envelope.

I would really like to see some pictures of the system uninstalled.....layed out on a bench.



KUDOS whoever you are!!

 

This is plainly the most modded MCS we've yet seen. ...Going from supercharged to turbo has only been spoken of. Here we not only have what appears to be a real turbo moded MCS, but one which looks very finished.

In my eyes this is very positive movement - regardless of what camp (or lack thereof) its come out of.

We're not in Kansas anymore toto.

 

>>The rims are Tenzos arent they.

Nope, they are 5Zigen 5ZR's and coincidentally I looked at them today and they are going on my car tomorrow.

Let me guess, it has something to do with M7

At least this looks like a complete project so far. I hate it when people come on and tout things in dev that are 35 years out. No offense to anyone

 

The sad thing is the mcs should have came with a turbo from the factory. They are alot easier to make fast.

mighty why is that a waste of $$. Ithink it looks awesome and im sure it is prob one of the fastest minis on earth right now.

by the way were is my tshirt

Possibly… But there are always trade-offs. I for one would be concerned about lag. If that weren't an issue then turbos away! The next gen Peugeot/BMW engine could use a sequential turbo system - one turbine spooling up @ low RPM and the second more powerful unit coming into play @ higher RPM.

Anyone familiar with the Suzuki Cappuccino? I believe that car had a sequential turbo system. Either way cool car.

Check out Suzuki's micro (1.6L) V8m they're talking about using in the Cap's successor. 250hp & you know it’s gonna have TORQUE!

Probably cost is the reason why they didnt have the S a turbo to begin with. Also this motor is really unknown until now. I heard it was a filler because they couldnt get the peugot turbo motor initially.

I am sure its all rummor mill though

 

Here is the quick skinny.

Sport exhaust from borla, port and polish head, custom ground cam, a custom head gasket, custom intake manifold, custom built internal wastegate, rfl blow off, ecu remapped to a 2 bar map, two extra 440 injectors, replaced factory injectors with custom built 440 injectors, turbo boost control a greddy eo1 and yes allot of No2.

There you go right from the horses mouth. I mean Tony's mouth.
